Pipe and Profile Grinder Description

Virtus Equipment's The P Series Pipe and Profile Granulators for plastics are available in rotor widths of up to 1400 mm and diameters ranging from 560 to 700 mm. The completely-welded, heavy-steel cutting chamber is angled and fitted with an extended hopper to allow easy feeding of parts. The standard V-cut creates  high-quality regrind with a very low percentage of fines in the output.  Other standard features include a hydraulically-opened hopper for outboard bearings reducing the risk of contamination.

Benefits for Industrial Recycling Operations

Typical Applications

Virtus Pipe and Profile Granulators are commonly used in:

These granulators support operations that need reliable size reduction for rigid, elongated plastics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Pipe and Profile Granulators for Plastic Extrusion?

Pipe and profile granulators are specialized machines designed to process long and bulky plastic pipes, profiles, and extruded parts efficiently. Virtus Equipment’s P-Series granulators feature heavy-duty construction and advanced rotor designs for smooth, reliable, and continuous operation in extrusion recycling systems.

Virtus Equipment’s P-Series granulators come with a completely welded, heavy-steel cutting chamber, extended angled hopper, and V-cut rotor design to ensure high-quality regrind with minimal fines. The hydraulically opened hopper and outboard bearings reduce contamination risks and simplify maintenance.

Yes. The P-Series is specifically engineered to handle long plastic pipes and profiles without the need for additional feeding platforms. Its level feeding hopper allows easy loading of oversized materials, while the smart design prevents blockages or backups during operation.

By converting plastic pipes, profiles, and extruded parts into uniform regrind, these granulators enable efficient material reuse, reduced waste, and lower production costs. Their low-maintenance design ensures continuous operation with minimal downtime.
