Size Reduction Specialists (SRS) has been a pioneer in screenless granulation and material separation since its inception in 1995. The foundation of their success lies in the expertise of their team, particularly National Sales Manager Don Maynard, who has been shaping the plastics industry since 1969. Initially working with Nissui Kako, Mr. Maynard played a key role in introducing the groundbreaking Nissui S-Cutter press-side screenless granulator to the U.S. market in 1988. By the late 1990s, SRS had teamed up with FBE Corporation to launch innovative products such as the Bi-Cutter™ screenless granulator and advanced dust and fine separation systems. Serving manufacturing and recycling needs worldwide, SRS has become synonymous with eco-friendly, efficient, and industry-leading solutions.

SRS Product Line Overview

SRS offers an impressive range of products tailored for efficient material processing, particularly in the plastics and recycling industries. Below, we explore their key product offerings.

Bi-Cutter™ Screenless Granulator

The Bi-Cutter is a flagship product built for superior performance. Unlike traditional grinders, this granulator uses a patented two-stage cutting process, ensuring clean, high-quality, and uniform regrind with minimal dust or fines.

• Key Features
• Low Speed, Low Energy: Operates quietly while reducing energy consumption.
• Compact Design: Takes up half the footprint of typical systems, ideal for press-side use.
• High-Quality Regrind: Produces uniform particles free of “longs” or excess dust.
• Easy Maintenance: Swing-up casting doors allow effortless cleaning and upkeep.

Applications for the Bi-Cutter include reclaiming sprues, runners, and other manufacturing waste for immediate reuse, maximizing materials and minimizing loss.

DFS Separators

Dust and Fine Separation (DFS) systems are engineered to enhance material quality by removing unwanted fines from regrinds. These systems are versatile and can be deployed both press-side and centrally.

• Key Benefits
• Improves molding process efficiency by delivering cleaner material.
• Reduces downtime caused by clogs or contamination.
• Compatible with multiple material types, including soft TPEs and hard-filled resins.

USNI S-Cutters

The USNI S-Cutter series set the standard for press-side screenless granulation in North America. First introduced by SRS in partnership with Nissui Kako, these granulators are ideal for minimizing material waste while maintaining a high level of output uniformity.

• Core Advantages
• Efficiently reduces material into regrinds without screens.
• Especially useful for handling delicate or difficult materials.

Whether you're producing injection-molded parts or blow-molded plastics, the S-Cutter remains a reliable choice for manufacturing facilities.
