GRADING
Rating of waste or recyclable materials into homogenous categories by type and quality.
GRANULATOR
A grinder that takes material down to a very fine, consistent particle size - usually a term used in the plastics industry. For example, a company may use our “grinders” to take very large scrap (several-hundred pound chunks or plastic blobs - called “purgings”) to reduce the size of those “blobs” to, say, 2 - 4 inch chunks, these chunks are then fed into a granulator to be further processed to 1/4” chunks - small enough to be re-introduced into the molding machines, melted, and formed into final product. Granulators are typically high-speed systems with actual knives that chop the material up into very small, consistent particles - and the discharge is usually screened to ensure that particle size, but they can’t handle large pieces of scrap - this is where our grinders come in.
