Foremost’s High Shear Granulator has been field-proven for over 40 years, both alone and as part of complete inline film recycling systems. Intended for all types of film and other soft materials, the current design utilizes a center feed chamber and a special adjustable, precision knife arrangement. This knife design yields the scissor-like, near tangential slide necessary for efficient reduction of thin films rather than “chopping” the materials. Clean “film fluff” or granulate is the result, without tearing or heat build-up.

The model S3E-2V venturi granulator utilizes one common high volume integrally mounted blower to pull continuous film edge trim into the grinder cutting chamber and to evacuate the reground material. Each machine is equipped with two 3″ venturi pick-ups. All motor starters electronically interlocked and are housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure with a fused disconnect.
