Granulators & Shredders
Granulators and shredders are used for controlled size reduction of bulky, elastic or structured materials, particularly where pre-processing, recycling or feed preparation is required prior to further powder processing steps. Within the Hosokawa Micron Group, these technologies form part of a broader portfolio of process equipment.
While Hosokawa Micron B.V. focuses on mixing, drying and agglomeration equipment, granulation and shredding equipment is provided by Hosokawa Alpine (Germany), supporting efficient material preparation and consistent feed characteristics within integrated bulk solids processing systems.
Granulators
Granulation using Hosokawa Alpine cutting mills, such as the Rotoplex granulator, enables controlled particle size reduction for ductile, fibrous and structured materials. The cutting principle limits fines generation and ensures consistent particle size distribution, supporting stable downstream handling. These systems are applied to plastics, elastomers, profiles, sheets and food products. Machine designs range from compact recycling units to hygienic configurations for chemical and food processing.

Shredders
Shredding systems are applied for coarse size reduction and volume reduction of bulky or heterogeneous materials. Typical applications include production waste, large plastic parts, cables and composite materials. Shredders improve feed consistency and prepare materials for further processing steps such as granulation, milling or separation. Within integrated powder processing systems, these technologies support reliable material preparation and overall process efficiency.
