Space-saving system for the processing of plastics production waste.
The Virtus Equipment Shredder Granulator Combination System integrates a primary shredder and a secondary granulator into one compact unit, providing an efficient and continuous size-reduction solution. This combination system reduces material size in two stages — shredding for initial breakdown and granulation for producing uniform regrind — which is ideal for recycling facilities that need high throughput with minimal floor space.

This system is designed to handle a broad range of materials commonly found in plastics recycling and industrial processing, including:
The Virtus Equipment combination system offers the key advantage of two stage size reduction in one integrated machine, combining simplicity with performance. Its matched shredder and granulator design, robust construction, and continuous operation capability make it a dependable solution for manufacturers and recyclers looking for highly efficient processing with minimal footprint and handling challenges.
Virtus Equipment supplies Shredder Granulator Combination Systems throughout the United States, providing technical consultation, system configuration support, installation assistance, and aftermarket service tailored to recycling and plastics processing operations. Local support and responsive service help ensure reliable machine performance, fast response times, and long-term operational uptime for customers nationwide.
The SG-Series Shredder Granulator Combination combines a shredder with a granulator in a single-spacing, size reduction system for the processing of plastic production waste. The shredder segment is equipped with a 400 mm diameter E-type rotor using Virtus Equipment's proven knife and knife holder design. It is driven by a high-torque gear drive which, in comparison to a direct drive, also handles tougher input materials well. The large material hopper and the powerful horizontal pusher allow the processing of voluminous as well as heavier parts. The lower system segment consists of a 3-blade granulator rotor based on the C-series. The shredder and granulator are matched to work together ideally and in conjunction with an advanced control system ensuring smooth reliable operation.
Virtus Equipment’s Shredder Granulator Combination Systems are commonly used in:
Concave Rotor Knife
V-cut Rotor Technology
Guided Drawer-type Ram

The SG shredder granulator combination has been designed mainly for in-house use in plastics blow and injection molding applications, yet it can be adopted in other fields too. The small footprint allows the system to be integrated into existing factory workshops easily. Being a closed system also reduces the risk of contamination compared to using a conveyor belt in a traditional two-stage recycling system. The system is well-suited for large volume parts and thicker materials such as flush or purging.
