Used Granutec Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Granutec was founded in 1980 by Merritt "Pete" Tetreault, who started the company with a single goal: to build granulators for the plastics industry that were safer, more reliable, and longer-lasting than anything else on the market. The company began with designs sketched at a kitchen table and the first machines assembled in a garage in Central Massachusetts, eventually growing into a recognized name in size reduction equipment for plastics processors across North America. Today Granutec operates from Rockville, Maryland, and continues to manufacture all of its granulators and accessories in the USA.

Granutec's core product line centers on the TFG series of tangential feed granulators, which are available in a wide range of throat sizes and horsepower ratings to suit everything from beside-the-press sprue grinding to high-volume central granulation. The TFG1012, TFG1212, and TFG1624 are among the most widely deployed configurations, featuring three-knife open rotors, two bed knives, and tangential cutting chambers that direct material into the rotor's downstroke for positive, jam-resistant feeding. Thermoforming and low-profile granulators handle skeletal web, sheet scrap, and whole thermoformed parts directly under the forming line, while the Auger-Matic series uses specialty feed technology for continuous under-press recycling. Across all lines, Granutec offers proprietary Granutuff knives, removable hardened wear plates, water-cooled cutting chambers, and sound-dampening packages as standard or optional features.

Granutec granulators serve a broad range of plastics-intensive end markets, including injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and post-industrial plastics recycling. The machines are routinely found in automotive parts manufacturing, packaging production, consumer goods molding, and industrial recycling operations where consistent regrind quality and high uptime are critical requirements.

Buyers seeking used Granutec granulators on the secondary market are drawn to the brand's reputation for heavy-duty, all-American construction that holds up through years of demanding production cycles. Replacement knives, screens, and wear parts are stocked and shipped same-day by the manufacturer, making maintenance straightforward even on older machines. The combination of robust build quality, readily available spare parts, and strong resale value makes used Granutec equipment a cost-effective choice for processors looking to add size reduction capacity without the lead times or price of new machinery.
