Shredder Granulator Combination System

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.

Shredder Granulator Description

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.

Benefits for Industrial Recycling Operations

Typical Applications

Virtus Equipment’s Shredder Granulator Combination Systems are commonly used in:

virtus equipment rotor knife

Concave Rotor Knife

The SG-series use the proven E-type rotor from the G-series shredders. The concave ground square knives produce high-quality output and can be rotated after a side is worn out.
virtus equipment sg-series shredder granulator

V-cut Rotor Technology

The SG-series granulator segment uses our sturdy F-type rotor with V-cut technology to ensure good ingestion of the material flow while still being able to handle thicker and heavier particles.

Guided Drawer-type Ram

The SG-series uses a sturdy roller-guided, drawer-type ram to feed the material into the shredder. The segmented cutting chamber and ram allow trouble-free processing of thin materials.

Shredder Granulator Applications

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Combined Shredder Granulator?

A Combined Shredder Granulator is an integrated size-reduction system that merges a shredder and a granulator into one compact unit. This design enables efficient processing of plastic production waste, offering both coarse and fine size reduction in a single, closed system—reducing contamination risk and saving valuable floor space.

Virtus Equipment’s shredder granulator combination offers several key benefits:

  • Reduced footprint and space-saving design
  • Lower contamination risk (no conveyor transfer)
  • Smooth, continuous operation
  • Energy-efficient material processing
  • Ideal for processing thick, voluminous, and purged plastics

By combining two key recycling processes into one machine, the SG-Series reduces handling time, minimizes contamination, and eliminates the need for intermediate conveyors. This streamlined setup enhances efficiency, consistency, and overall throughput—making it ideal for in-house plastic recycling operations.

Yes. Virtus Equipment offers customization options based on material type, output size requirements, and plant layout. The system’s modular design, advanced control system, and variable hopper configurations make it adaptable for various industrial recycling and plastic production applications.
