Our High Shear Granulators feature a cutting chamber design suitable for a wide range of applications including hot melt, sprues, runners, and small parts. Specific models are available for each type of granulating and all are offered with optional sound attenuation for granulating at under 80 dBA.

High Shear Film and Sheet Granulators - SHFG 1116, HSFG 1116, 1132, 1148, 1632

Our High Shear Film and Sheet Granulators are suitable for a wide range of applications including grinding sheet, film, roll stock, edge trim, and slabs. Specific models are available for each type of granulating and all are offered with optional SQ sound attenuation for granulating at under 80 dBA.

Futura Granulators

FUTURA Quiet Granulators – QG-1410

The Foremost QG-1410, with 40% more throat area than the Model 1010, retains that model’s slim profile, with the same two foot width. Along with the usual sprues and runners, this size can accommodate large reject parts, such as gallon bottles.

FUTURA Quiet Granulators - QG-1814

The Foremost QG-1814, only a few inches wider than the smaller models in the QG Series, has a throat area at least 80% greater than competitive models of similar width.

Special Purpose Granulators

Dual Stage Granulators – DSC- 18

The patented Model DSC-18 Dual Stage Granulator offers an improved, high output first cutting stage, plus modular flexibility to meet a wide range of processing applications.

Hot Melt Granulators – Series HMG-1008

The Hot Melt Model is intended for processing hot thermoplastic directly from the extruder die without pre-cooling.

Hot Melt Granulators – Series HMG-1116

The Hot Melt Model HMG-1116 is intended for processing hot thermoplastic directly from the extruder die without pre-cooling.

Sheet and Web Granulators – SW-0936

Foremost’s SW-0936 Low Profile Sheet & Web Granulators process thermoform scrap including skeletal scrap, sheet web, expanded polystyrene, high impact polystyrene, HDPE, ABS, PET, and CPET.

Spiral Cut Granulators

Spiral Cut Granulators SCG-1116/1124/1132H

Higher productivity is achieved through the use of special high alloy, low wear knives. Their unique construction provides less downtime for replacement or resharpening.
