After shredding or granulating, proper material collection is critical for efficiency, cleanliness, and downstream processing. The best solution depends on material type, particle size, output volume, and automation level.

Here are the most common collection systems used in shredding & granulation lines:


🗑️ 1. Collection Bin / Container /Trolley (Basic Solution)

How it works

  • Material falls directly from the discharge outlet into a bin, container, bag, or trolley.
  • Operators remove and replace containers manually.

Best for

  • Small granulators
  • Low output volume
  • Batch processing
  • Budget installations

Advantages
✅ Lowest cost
✅ Easy installation
✅ No additional equipment required

Limitations
❌ Manual handling required
❌ Dust exposure possible
❌ Not suitable for continuous production

👉 Common in mini granulators, lab machines, and small recycling workshops.


🌪️ 2. Cyclone Collecting System (Most Popular Industrial Choice)

How it works

  • A blower fan conveys particles through pipelines.
  • A cyclone separator spins air and material.
  • Granules drop into bags or bins while air exits through filters.

Best for

  • Plastic granules
  • Film flakes
  • Lightweight shredded materials
  • Continuous operation lines

Advantages
✅ Automatic conveying
✅ Cleaner working environment
✅ Reduced dust pollution
✅ Continuous discharge
✅ Improved operator safety

Limitations
❌ Requires blower power
❌ Slightly higher investment

👉 This is the standard configuration for most plastic granulating systems.


🌀 3. Screw Conveyor Collection System

How it works

  • Shredded particles (such as shredded wood pallets) drop into a horizontal screw conveyor.
  • Material is mechanically transported to storage or next processing step.

Best for

  • Heavy materials
  • Metal scraps
  • Dense plastic regrind
  • Controlled feeding applications

Advantages
✅ Stable conveying
✅ Works with heavy particles
✅ Dust controlled
✅ Accurate feeding to next machine

Limitations
❌ More mechanical wear
❌ Not ideal for ultra-light film flakes
