Arlington offers the complete line of Virtus recycling equipment and one of the questions we often get is, "Why should I buy a slow speed granulator?"  Some of the benefits are listed below:

  • You can turn the machine on while loaded.
    • No need to clean out the machine between runs.  The direct drive can handle product from the start - unlike a traditional granulator
  • Low Dust Dissemination
    • The slow speed does not kick up dust particles like a higher rpm granulator
  • Cheaper Knife Changes
    • It is easier to change one of your staggered knifes that it is to change the entire set like you do in a traditional machine
  • Low Noise
    • The slow speed and the "nibbling" action of the rotor reduce the noise produced from the machine
  • Slow speed granulators are easily customizable to suit different applications
Slow Speed Granulators are best suited to thin-walled pieces and are not right for every application and product. If you think your product may be right for a slow speed granulator give us a call and quote you the right machine for your application.
