About Used Plastic Granulators & Grinders
Plastic granulators (also called plastic grinder machines, plastic crushers, or plastic grinding machines) reduce plastic parts, sprues, runners, and scrap into regrind for reprocessing. Granulators for plastics are essential equipment in any injection molding, blow molding, or thermoforming operation — they allow you to reclaim production scrap and reduce material waste.
Used plastic granulators are available as beside-the-press granulators (compact units that sit next to the molding machine for immediate regrind), central granulators (large machines that process scrap from multiple molding machines), and thermoforming granulators (designed for sheet trim). Industrial plastic grinder machines feature robust rotors, hardened cutting chambers, and screen systems for controlled particle size.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a used plastic granulator cost?
Used plastic granulator prices range from $2,000-$8,000 for small beside-the-press units to $15,000-$60,000+ for large central granulators. Plastic grinding machine prices depend on rotor width, motor HP, cutting chamber size, brand, and condition. Cumberland and Rapid granulators hold value well in the used market.
What is the difference between a granulator and a shredder?
Granulators produce a smaller, more uniform output (typically 3/8" regrind) through a cutting action against a screen. Shredders produce a coarser output through a tearing/shearing action. In recycling operations, shredders are typically used first for primary size reduction, followed by granulators for producing uniform regrind suitable for processing.
