Plastic Pulverizing Equipment
Size reduction and granulation is a critical process in many operations, including plastics productions. The plastics industry is one of many industries Pulva serves. With a broad range of plastic pulverizing mills, cryogenic feeders and toll grinding services, our team can help your operation meet its production needs.
How Are Plastic Pulverizers Used in the Plastics Industry?
In the plastics industry, size reduction is essential for various processes. Often, plastic grinding machines are used to reduce substances for blending and compounding. Ultra-fine particles are necessary to create the ideal characteristics in many plastic types.
Hammer mills and other size reduction equipment are also valuable for recycling old plastics to create new products. These plastic grinding machines can grind old plastics into powders to incorporate into new blends. Powdered plastics also play a role in a variety of consumer goods and protective powder coatings. Other applications for plastic size reduction include extrusions, injection molding and thermoforming.
Common materials made with size reduction equipment include:
- Acrylics
- Polypropylene (PP)
- High-impact polystyrene (HIPS)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Nylon
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Industrial Plastic Grinding Machines From Pulva
At Pulva, we offer a range of advanced solutions for size reduction in the plastics industry. Our
selection of polymer pulverizers includes many models with varying power requirements and capacities. With mill capacities up to 6,000 pounds per hour, you can meet production demands that reflect the size of your operation.
Our hammer mills for plastic particle reduction are designed to prevent dust pollution with fully sealed process components. They offer minimal power consumption with maintenance-friendly designs that support simple equipment care.
In addition to our pulverizer machines for plastic, Pulva carries cryogenic feeders. In plastics, particle size requirements can be very fine, and cryogenic feeders use extremely low temperatures to get materials to embrittlement temperature. Once materials reach these low temperatures, it is easier to achieve fine powders through a Pulva grinding machine.
The cryogenic feeder allows you to control and monitor temperature as materials travel through the cooling conveyor.
Plastics Toll Grinding Services
While Pulva offers many types of equipment to support your size reduction applications, we also provide toll processing and micronization services. Through our toll grinding services, our team of size reduction professionals can provide viability testing for plastic size reduciton, and batch processing from 1-5,000 pounds. Plastic toll grinding services are an excellent option for productivity boosts when needed as well as for meeting grinding requirements that your operation cannot handle in-house.
Our toll grinding experts have performed services on quantities ranging from 5 pounds to 5,000 pounds. We also provide cryogenic toll grinding solutions for applications such as plastic size reduction and other materials not suited for ambient grinding. Count on Pulva for your plastic toll grinding services in Pittsburgh, PA and beyond.
