Recovery mode: plastic recycling and granulation


Recent advances in granulation include an updated single-shaft shredder, a re-engineered pulverizer and a granulator that claims to cut energy consumption in half


Sustainability formed a major part of last year’s K show in Dusseldorf – with many exhibitors showcas- ing new and improved way to recover and reuse waste polymers. CMG Granulators showcased a broad portfolio


of ancillaries – including granulators and shredders – during K2025. Its EV Evolution Series is engineered specifically for post-consumer plastics. Each model is opti- mised to reduce energy utilisation by up to 50% compared to conventional granulators, through advanced cutting geometries, unique rotor design, and intelligent drive systems, says CMG. These provide high energy efficiency and low total cost of ownership (TCO). The show’s highlight was the EV 92-220. De- signed for heavy-duty applications and large volume streams, it features a new cutting chamber architecture and advanced control integration, for enhanced reliability under high loads. “The launch of the EV 92-220 marks a techno- logical milestone and a statement of intent – a commitment to transforming waste into value at scale,” said Giorgio Santella, CEO of CMG. In addition, it launched the G55 granulator line for high-capacity applications. The standard configurations of the new series cover capacities from 700 kg/h to 1,300 kg/h. The G55 line com- prises two models: G55-90 and G55-120. These include integral sound enclosure and an innovative feed hopper design that accommodates a variety of shapes and dimensions of parts that can be granulated. Energy utilisation is 25 Wh/kg – around half that of conventional solutions, it says. CMG also introduced evacuation, dedusting and

powder containment systems. These Regrind Evac Systems start at a capacity of 200 kg/h and, in 10 different sizes, reach a capacity of 7,000 kg/h. The systems operate under full vacuum, so


regrind material is evacuated from the granulator and gently conveyed to a cyclone receiver and through a dedusting chamber – all under negative pressure. The regrind is deposited in a storage bin, gaylord or big-bag while the powdery air is handled by a self-cleaning filter unit. In addition, CMG has expanded its production


headquarters with a new 800 sq m area. This will be dedicated to logistics, enabling


more efficient management of internal flows and freeing up production areas to meet increasing demand. CMG says the investment will allow it to
