Wet Plastic Granulator & Crusher
An innovative leap in plastic recycling, our wet granulator uses an integrated water injection system to simultaneously wash, cool, and granulate plastic waste, extending blade life and producing superior quality regrind.
The Wet Granulation Advantage
By integrating water into the cutting process, our granulator overcomes the limitations of traditional dry grinding, delivering multiple key benefits in a single, efficient step.
Integrated Pre-Washing
The continuous flow of water actively washes away dirt, dust, and other surface contaminants during granulation, reducing the burden on downstream washing equipment and improving overall line efficiency.
Extended Blade Life
Water acts as a natural coolant and lubricant, drastically reducing friction and heat buildup. This prevents blades from dulling quickly, significantly extending their service life and reducing maintenance costs.
Superior Granule Quality
The combination of efficient cutting and constant cooling prevents plastic from melting or degrading. This results in uniform, high-quality granules with minimal fines, ideal for high-end manufacturing.
Simultaneous Grinding & Washing
Water-Injected Feed
Plastic waste enters the cutting chamber as a precisely engineered system sprays water directly onto the material and blades.
Cooled Granulation
The high-speed rotor with D2 steel blades granulates the plastic. Water continuously lubricates and cools the components.
Simultaneous Washing
As the plastic is cut, the water actively washes away dirt, labels, and other impurities, which are flushed out of the system.
Sized Discharge
Clean, cool, and uniformly sized granules pass through the screen at the bottom of the chamber for collection.
Key Application Areas
An invaluable asset for any facility focused on high-efficiency plastic recycling and material processing.
Post-Consumer Recycling
As a cornerstone of plastic washing lines, it is ideal for processing contaminated bottles, films, and containers into high-quality reusable flakes.
In-House Industrial Scrap
Provides an efficient solution for converting internal scrap plastic from injection or blow molding back into valuable, clean raw material.
Feedstock Preparation
The consistent, high-quality granules serve as an excellent feedstock for pelletizing extruders and other manufacturing processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of a wet granulator over a standard dry one?
The primary advantage is the triple-action of the water: it pre-washes material, lubricates the blades to extend their life, and cools the entire system to prevent plastic degradation. This results in a cleaner final product, lower maintenance costs, and higher quality granules compared to dry granulation.
Does this replace the need for a full washing line?
While the wet granulator performs an excellent pre-washing function, it is typically the first step in a complete plastic washing line. For heavily contaminated materials, it is usually followed by additional friction washing and float-sink separation to achieve the highest purity levels.
What kind of blade configuration is used?
Our wet granulators are equipped with high-quality D2 steel blades arranged in a highly efficient "V-shape" or double-scissor cutting configuration. This design ensures an optimal shearing action, reduces energy consumption, and produces consistently sized granules.
