Types of Plastic Shredders & Recycling Equipment
Meadoworks carries a full range of used plastic shredders, industrial shredders, plastic granulators, plastic balers, and recycling equipment. Single shaft shredders from WEIMA, Vecoplan, and SSI provide controlled size reduction for plastic film, bottles, and post-consumer waste. Dual shaft and quad shaft shredders handle heavy-duty industrial shredding of bulky items, tires, and mixed waste. Beside-the-press plastic granulator machines from Cumberland, Rapid, and Conair handle production regrind, while central plastic granulators process higher volumes from multiple machines.
Used plastic baler machines from International Baler compact recycled materials for efficient storage and transport. Industrial balers are available in vertical and horizontal configurations for different volume requirements. Optical sorting machines from TOMRA and other brands separate plastics by resin type for higher-value recycling. Complete plastic recycling machine lines including wash systems, dryers, and pelletizers are available for turn-key recycling operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of granulators does Meadoworks carry?
We stock beside-the-press granulators for runner regrind, central granulators for higher volumes, screenless granulators for cleaner regrind, and heavy-duty granulators for thick parts. Brands include Cumberland, Rapid, Foremost, Nelmor, and Conair with various rotor and chamber configurations.
What's the difference between granulators and shredders?
Granulators use high-speed rotary cutting to produce consistent particle sizes—ideal for clean in-house scrap and regrind. Shredders use slower, high-torque cutting for bulky items, mixed waste, and contaminated materials. Many recycling operations use shredders for initial size reduction followed by granulators for final sizing.
Can Meadoworks help set up a plastics recycling operation?
Yes, we can help source granulators, shredders, wash systems, dryers, and pelletizers for recycling operations. Contact us with your material types, throughput requirements, and end-product specifications and we'll help identify appropriate equipment.
