• Solids such as start-up lumps, loose waste and also bulky items can be fed through the hopper opening. As an option, this material feed flap can be fitted with a 
  
  • conveyor belt. A detector provides a warning of metal items in the scrap.
  • The roll feeder allows the processing of film in roll form.
  • The air separator enables a fully automatic and continuous recycling of film edge and/or bleed trims for inline operation. A storage of material is no longer required.
• With an additive dosing device in the section between the shredder and the extruder intake additives equal to up to 20% of the material flow can be fed in (e.g. for the improvement of flow characteristics or material coloring).
• If required we offer a venting system for degassing (drying) the melt using a water ring vaccum pump.
• For cleaning the plastic melt A:GRANs are equipped with a manual screen changer (standard).
• A high-quality, double piston automatic screen changer (melt filter) allows „on-the-fly“ screen changes without stopping the machine..
• Self-cleaning back flushing melt filters are recommended for highly contaminated materials.
• Hot die (water ring) pelletizer is generally used for the majority of polyolefins. .
• Strand pelletizer or underwater pelletizing are employed for PA, PET or other polymers as well as for high-MFI PP.
• Typically, NGR supplies the entire pellet transport equipment such as blowers, piping, cyclones, etc.

High flexibility due to the integrated shredder, easy operation and automatic speed control are the most important characteristics of the A:GRAN recycling machine:

• The size and the quantity of the incoming scrap material are only restricted by the hopper opening and not the process. Therefore, several differing material feeding systems can be employed simultaneously.
• Because of the  NGR ONE-STEP Technology no pre-shredding or grinding is required..
• The  NGR recycling process is very simple and requires only a sufficient inflow of material. Normally just one person is necessary to handle the feeding task. The automatized inline production completely eliminates messy multiple handling of the same material.
• Simple ON-OFF-switching: following sudden plant stops (e.g. power loss, emergency stops), the machine can be immediately restarted without any problem with filled hopper and extruder screw.
• The A:GRAN can be fully integrated into the film production process. This ensures safe and cost-effective inline-operation.
• Designed for continuous feeding the machine is also able to react automatically to any changes in material quantity and can therefore deliver pellets of uniform high quality with minimal loss of physical characteristics. . The pneumatic pistons on the cutter and the extruder and pelletizer speeds are controlled automatically.
• The uniform pellet size allows it to be mixed homogenously with original material.
• A high degree of process stability minimizes the influence of the operating personnel on pellet quality.
• Simple access to wear parts reduces scheduled downtime to a minimum.
• The compact and robust design saves floor space and operating power. The A:GRAN is characterized by long service life even at full performance and with the processing of problematic materials such as PA fibers.
• In addition, low shredder shaft speeds give excellent cutting performance combined with long blade life.
• Robust design, high-grade materials and top quality manufacturing in combination with the finest possible controls and proven electronics, guarantee a long service life.
• Due to the excellent output rate in combination with low operating and energy costs the machine typically offers an extremely short payback period (6-12 months). We are pleased to calculate both your recycling operational costs per kg [lbs] and the payback period.

The A:GRAN recycling  machine is available with an extruder screw diameter of 60 mm [2,56  inch] and  a granulate output rate from 20 – 100 kg/h [44 - 220 lbs/h].
