CMG Granulators at RePlast Eurasia

From 8 to 10 May in Istanbul, CMG Granulators will take part in RePlast Eurasia, where it will present its new G55 granulator line for high-capacity applications and the new range of Regrind Evac Systems for evacuation, dedusting, and dust containment. During the event, its Director of Business Development will give a presentation on high-efficiency granulation of PET and HDPE.

The innovative features of the G55 series contribute to achieving high productivity, regrind quality (dimensional homogeneity of regrind particles and absence of dust), operational efficiency, cleanliness in the production department, and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The standard configurations of the new series cover output levels ranging from 700 to 1,300 kg per hour.

The G55 series consists of two models, the G55-90 and G55-120. It is characterised by complete soundproofing and an innovative feed hopper designed to accommodate the widest variety of shapes and sizes of parts to be ground. All models operate at high efficiency, are equipped with EISA premium-efficiency motors, and can be fitted with the AMP (Adaptive Motor Power) function. Energy consumption is 25 Wh/kg, compared to over 50 Wh/kg for conventional solutions.

As for the new range of evacuation, dedusting, and dust containment systems, the unit is the largest in its category and is capable of evacuating, conveying, and dedusting up to 7,000 kg of regrind per hour. The entire range starts from a capacity of 200 kg per hour and, through a selection of 10 different sizes, reaches up to 7,000 kg per hour.

The new evacuation systems operate entirely under negative pressure, which means that the regrind material is evacuated from the granulator and gently conveyed to a cyclone and through a dedusting chamber, all under vacuum conditions. The advantages of using negative pressure are numerous, from the absence of dust or fines caused by friction against the inner walls of the conveying pipe, to the lack of impact against the fan impeller used in conventional positive-pressure evacuation systems. The regrind is then deposited into a silo, an octabin, or a big bag, while the air containing dust is handled by an automatic self-cleaning filter unit. The dust collected in the filter unit is automatically compacted, deposited, and boxed for recycling or disposal. The complete system ensures total absence of environmental contamination, and the degree of air filtration from the filtration station can be adjusted according to local regulations.

All new system solutions supplied by CMG Granulators will be equipped with Regrind Evac Systems, which can also be retrofitted to existing granulation systems, whether from CMG or other manufacturers.
