USED GLOUCESTER ENGINEERING 1012BP

7.5 HP Gloucester Engineering Model 1012BP Plastic GranulatorThe Gloucester Engineering 1012BP is a rugged, compact granulator engineered for high-efficiency, localized recycling. Featuring a 10" x 12" feed opening, this unit is built with the signature "Pelican" style tilt-back hopper, allowing for rapid, tool-free access to the cutting chamber for cleaning and color changes. Its 7.5 HP drive provides a balanced mix of power and energy efficiency, making it the industry standard for standard-duty plastic reclamation.Mounted on heavy-duty casters, the 1012BP is designed for maximum portability, allowing it to be easily moved between production machines as needs change. The 3-blade open rotor design ensures consistent airflow through the chamber, which helps maintain the quality of the regrind by preventing heat-related degradation of the plastic.Technical SpecificationsManufacturer: Gloucester Engineering (Battenfeld)Model: 1012BPFeed Opening: 10" x 12"Motor Power: 7.5 HPVoltage: 230/460V, 3-PhaseRotor Type: 3-Bolt-on Blade Open RotorBed Blades: 2-Blade ConfigurationHopper Style: Tilt-Back Pelican FeedPortability: Integrated Heavy-Duty CastersKey FeaturesService-Focused Design: The tilt-back hopper and easy-access screen cradle significantly reduce downtime during maintenance or material changeovers.High Airflow Rotor: The open rotor design maximizes cooling airflow, which is critical when processing heat-sensitive materials.Industrial Durability: Built with heavy-walled castings that provide superior vibration dampening and a longer service life than lighter-duty modern alternatives.Compact Footprint: Specifically sized to fit into tight production cells directly adjacent to the molding press.
