10 HP Gloucester Engineering Model 1012BP Plastic Granulator | 1984The Gloucester Engineering 1012BP is a rugged, portable granulator engineered for high-torque "beside-the-press" recycling. Featuring a 10" x 12" feed opening and a powerful 10 HP drive motor, this unit is optimized for processing tough engineering resins, sprues, and small purgings that standard 7.5 HP grinders often struggle to handle.Manufactured in 1984 (S/N 101201-0184), this unit features Gloucester’s signature "Pelican" style tilt-back hopper, providing tool-free access to the cutting chamber for rapid cleaning and color changes. Mounted on heavy-duty casters, it is a versatile asset designed to be moved between production cells to provide immediate, localized scrap reduction.Technical SpecificationsManufacturer: Gloucester EngineeringModel: 1012BPSerial Number: 101201-0184Year of Manufacture: 1984Feed Opening: 10" x 12"Motor Power: 10 HPVoltage: 230/460V, 3-PhaseRotor Type: 3-Blade Open RotorBed Blades: 2-Blade ConfigurationHopper Style: Tilt-Back Pelican FeedPortability: Integrated Heavy-Duty CastersKey Features10 HP High-Torque Drive: Delivers the mechanical force required for rigid plastics and thicker wall sections, ensuring consistent throughput.Open Rotor Design: Maximizes airflow through the chamber, keeping heat-sensitive materials cool and maintaining the quality of the regrind.Service-Friendly Access: The tilt-back hopper allows for immediate inspection and maintenance of the screen and blades, significantly reducing downtime.Legacy Durability: 1980s Gloucester machines are prized for their heavy-walled castings and oversized bearing housings, designed for decades of 24/7 service.
