Polycarbonate Cards Granulator
A polycarbonate cards granulator is a specialized size-reduction machine designed to process polycarbonate (PC) cards—such as bank cards, ID cards, access cards, SIM cards, and membership cards—into uniform plastic granules. These machines are widely used by card manufacturers, banks, data centers, government agencies, and plastic recyclers to ensure secure destruction and material recovery.
What Are Polycarbonate Cards?
Polycarbonate cards are high-performance plastic cards known for their:
- - High impact strength
- - Excellent heat resistance
- - Long service life
- - Ability to embed chips, magnetic stripes, and security layers
Due to their durability, polycarbonate cards cannot be effectively destroyed by simple shredders, making granulators the preferred solution.
Why Use a Polycarbonate Cards Granulator?
1. Secure Data Destruction
Granulation reduces cards into small, irregular particles, making it impossible to reconstruct personal or confidential data stored on chips or printed layers.
2. Efficient Recycling
Granulated PC material can be:
- - Reprocessed into plastic products
- - Used as feedstock for compounding
- - Sold as recyclable plastic granules
3. High Throughput & Uniform Output
Unlike strip shredding, a granulator produces consistent particle sizes, ideal for downstream recycling.
Working Principle
A polycarbonate cards granulator operates through high-speed rotating knives working against fixed blades:
1. Whole or pre-shredded cards are fed into the cutting chamber
2. Rotating knives shear the material into small flakes
3. A screen controls final particle size
4. Granules are discharged or conveyed to a collection system
Optional dust collection systems help maintain a clean working environment.
Typical Applications
- - Bank and credit card destruction
- - Government ID and passport card recycling
- - Access control and smart card disposal
- - SIM card and chip card processing
- - Plastic recycling plants handling PC waste
