Recycling/Size Reduction
Colortronic's size reduction portfolio offers slow running portable units, high quality regrind, mobility and compact design, sound proofing and models for heavy duty, high performance applications.
Colortronic's clean room granulator is the answer for high-quality regrind in sprue, runner, and small part applications.
Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) and medical molding require the elimination of dust in the manufacturing
environment.
The MLS Series light duty shredder is designed for processing injection and extrusion mold startup purge.
It reduces material to approximately 1" to 4" when combined with a Colortronic granulator (stacked 2-
stage or in-line with conveyors), and output size can range from 1/8" to 1/2". The granulator can average
150% of its stated throughputs without heavy power consumption loads (typically seen when using a
granulator alone). The MLS Series standard features and benefits are listed below.
The MMS Series is designed for processing scrap from
wood industries—miscellaneous trim and panel scraps,
furniture, injection and extrusion mold startup purge,
heavy wall parts, paper and cardboard, and film (baled
and loose).
The MPS Series shredders have been developed for the size reduction of pipes up to 51" (1,300mm) in
diameter made from materials such as UPVC, PE, and PP. Pipes up to 29.5 ft (9 m) in length can be shredded
without the need for pre-cutting. The shredder is available with two rotor diameters (39"/56", 980mm/1430mm)
equipped with rotary cutters operating at low speed, ensuring smooth and efficient size reduction of pipes.
The MT500 Series offers superior quality and
performance with ease of accessibility. A safety
interlocked, rear access, hopper door provides hasslefree
cleanout and inspection, while the front hopper
access door completely opens up for quick and easy
maintenance with minimal downtime.
Colortronic MT Series Granulators are designed for continuous reclamation of skeletal web directly from the thermoform trim process. The MT Series offers more lineal inches of cut, more capacity, and less likelihood of plugging.
The wide range of strand pelletizers available from Colortronic are ruggedly constructed to deliver round-the-clock reliability at high production rates.Their proven performance and durability make them a cost effective investment for resin producers, compounders and reclaimers alike.
Perfect for mediun hard, impact resistant and friable materials.
Colortronics film scrap reclaim can reduce your costs by grinding scrap and conveying it directly back into your extruder.
Colortronics fluff feed hoppers are designed to feed a percentage of the fluff directly back into the extruder throat to mix back in with the unprocessed materials.
Colortronic film grinders are designed to handle a wide range of materials and can be equipped with feed roll assemblies for automatic feeding of scrap roll stock.
The MSM 2000 Series is available with three infeed sizes (20"x 42" and 20"x 62") and offers a throughput range from 1800-2600 lbs/hour making it ideal for thermoforming processes, central granulation of blow molded components, and volume processing of scrap from any type of polymer processing operation.
The MSH Series is designed for heavy duty, high capacity granulation. Ideally suited for applications including heavy extruded purgings, sheet, pipe scrap, X-ray film, post consumer bailed bottles, film and fibers. The MSH Series comes in 40" (1000mm) and 56" (1400mm) widths, cutting circle diameter of 18", and horsepower options from 100 thru 200 hp.
The MSH 3200 Series is designed for heavy duty, high capacity granulation. Ideally suited for applications including heavy extruder purgings, blow molded flashings, thick sheet, pipe scrap, X-ray film, large capacity post consumer products, large blow molded parts (automotive, appliance, furniture, profiles), and packaging film.
Colortonic's VI edge trim conveying systems are used to convey edge trim to the film grinder.
Colortronic's FT Series agitated fluff storage tanks are designed with heavy-duty agitators, to handle your hardest-to-feed materials. FT Series agitated fluff storage tanks receive fluff from a film grinder.
Colortronic's fluff feed hoppers are designed to feed a percentage of the fluff directly back into the extruder throat. The unique dual-stage design ensures that the fluff is mixed with the virgin material above the extruder throat. Each auger is independently adjustable and can be set to follow the extruder screw speed by monitoring a tachometer signal from the extruder.
CGR Series film grinders are used to grind film scrap into small particles of fluff that can be combined with pelletized material and fed back into an extruder.
CGR2 HBD Series grinders use dual cutting chambers to reduce the fluff to a smaller particle size, providing a higher bulk density, which results in higher re-feed rates.
CTE fluff feed hoppers are designed to feed edge trim back into an extruder at a maximum rate of 20% of the extruder output.
Colortronic's fluff blowers and cyclone seperators are used to convey ground scrap to the fluff feed unit or storage tank.
Colortronic"s MSM2400 Series Central granulators are one of the most versatile central granulators available. Ideally suited for applications including large injection molded parts, blow molded parts, automotive parts, light purgings, furniture and appliance parts, etc.
Colortronic's MSH Heavy Duty central granulators are designed for high capacity central reclamation. They can granulate a wide range of plastic scrap, from low density fiber to thick, high molecular weight purgings, and can be integrated with a variety of handling equipment.
Designed for processing plastic waste for reclamation and recycling, large extruder purgings, large reject parts, trim scraps, baled or loose film, synthetic fiber, wood processing scrap, medical waste, cardboard,
paper, and carpet, all of the MXS Series Shredders feature the following:
The VH Series Rotary Grinder is designed especially for size reduction of vinyl siding, PVC fencing, plastic extrusion profiles and other scrap materials.
Today's designers and manufacturers are turning to two shot injection molding, over-molding, co extruded profiles and sequential 3-D blow molding to produce the most cost effective new designs.
The Colortronic MT Series offers reclamation of thermoformed, extruded scrap, sheet, web and edge trim. With a standard 50 HP motor and throughput capacities up to 3,000 lbs/hr, there is a Colortronic granulator ideal for your specific needs.
Today's designers and manufacturers are turning to two shot injection molding, over-molding, co extruded profiles and sequential 3-D blow molding to produce the most cost effective designs.
Colortronic's Large Tangential Series granulators feature heavy-duty construction, including an easy access base, which creates a stronger design with easy clean out and servicing.
