TRIA GmbH granulators and plastics size reduction machinery

Plastics granulators and size reduction machinery by TRIA GmbH (Germany): beside-the-press JM series, blow molding BM units, XT extrusion, and TF lines.

TRIA JM series beside-the-press granulators for injection moulding

TRIA JM series granulators provide inline grinding of sprues and defective mouldings beside injection moulding machines. Their slim profile minimizes machine footprint between presses, while tool-free opening simplifies maintenance and cleaning during colour changes.

Cutting chamber designed for sprues and scrap parts with fast tool-free access.
Narrow footprint engineered for integration between injection moulding presses.
Low-power electric drive from 1.5 kW providing quiet and smooth plant operation.
Interchangeable wear-resistant knives and screens for glass-filled polymers.

TRIA BM series granulators for blow moulding scrap recovery

TRIA BM series granulators are engineered for size reduction of blow moulding scrap, including hollow bodies, containers, and parisons. Integrated water cooling around the cutting chamber prevents polymer melting when receiving warm parisons directly from blow moulders.

Chamber cooling jacket tailored for warm parisons and continuous extrusion scrap.
Open rotor geometry with scissor-action cutting for high-volume blow containers.
Anti-wear chamber execution hardened to 550 HV for abrasive plastic materials.
Pneumatic cleanout cycle for rapid material switches and reduced downtime.

TRIA XT series granulators for extrusion and edge trims

TRIA XT series units handle scrap recovery from rigid or flexible extrusion processes, heavy sheet materials, and edge trims. Integral rotary side discs stop film wrap-around, while generous screen discharge areas promote prompt regrind evacuation with minimal dusting.

Integrated rotor side discs designed to eliminate film and edge trim winding.
Expanded screen discharge surface for rapid regrind throughput and cool run.
Seamless integration into pneumatic conveying and closed-loop plant recycling.
Specially ground knife edges ensuring clean cutting of flexible plastic films.

TRIA TF series granulators for in-line thermoforming scrap

TRIA TF series granulators fit directly beneath the trim press or stacker of thermoforming machines. Variable-speed traction rollers draw web sheets and skeleton scrap smoothly into the rotor chamber, maintaining precise synchronization with upstream packaging machinery.

Pneumatically opened traction rollers for steady skeleton sheet feeding.
Low-profile frame configured for installation under trimming presses.
Sound-attenuated enclosure keeping noise levels low across packing zones.
Speed-matched drive synchronization with upstream thermoforming machines.

TRIA GR series heavy-duty granulators for high throughput

Heavy-duty TRIA GR series granulators grind thick-walled plastic pipes, massive purgings, sheets, and start-up rolls on BOPP and BOPET lines. External bearing housings isolated from the grinding chamber prevent overheating and contamination from abrasive polymer dust.

Heavy-duty solid rotor engineered for thick purgings, pipes, and sheets.
External bearing pedestals fully isolated from the hot cutting chamber.
High-grip traction units ensuring positive feed of thick BOPP film webs.
Optional floor pit mounting geometry for streamlined overhead feeding.

TRIA TPL series granulators for plastic pipes and profiles

TRIA TPL series granulators handle long plastic profiles up to 200 mm in height, window profiles, and pipe sections. A dedicated horizontal infeed hopper facilitates feeding long polymer profiles into the rotor without requiring prior manual cross-cutting by operators.

Horizontal feed hopper designed for direct infeed of long pipe sections.
Staggered cutting geometry smoothly drawing hollow profiles into blades.
Rigid fabricated steel frame absorbing high shock loads from rigid PVC.
Pneumatic cyclone porting for dust extraction and uniform regrind flow.

German engineering heritage and Willich facility of TRIA GmbH

German industrial branch TRIA GmbH, located in Willich within North Rhine-Westphalia, serves as the engineering and technical support hub for the global TRIA Group. Founded in 1998, the facility adapts size reduction machinery to European environmental standards and plastics recycling guidelines.

The Willich technical center coordinates spare components dispatch, knife resharpening protocols, and custom granulator integration across injection, extrusion, and blow molding plants. High manufacturing tolerances ensure dependable performance across demanding continuous manufacturing shifts.

Beside-the-press JM granulators and tool-free maintenance access

Beside-the-press TRIA JM series granulators provide instantaneous size reduction of hot sprues and defective injection parts directly at the molding machine. The narrow profile minimizes floor space footprint between automated presses, optimizing plant layout efficiency.

A patented tool-free opening mechanism grants rapid access to the cutting chamber for thorough cleaning during polymer or pigment transitions. Helical knife geometry minimizes fines and dusting, returning clean regrind with uniform bulk density back into the production cycle.

Chamber water cooling and blow molding recycling in BM series

Recovering thick-walled flash, hollow containers, and high-temperature parisons in blow molding operations requires continuous heat dissipation from the cutting zone.

TRIA BM series granulators integrate a water-cooling jacket around the cutting chamber walls to prevent thermal softening of polymers.

Open rotor geometry with scissor-action cutting ensures positive ingestion of bulky hollow articles without flyback into the hopper. Internal cutting chamber surfaces undergo anti-wear hardening up to 550 HV, protecting assemblies against abrasive wear when processing filled polymers.

Film anti-winding discs and XT extrusion granulator design

When granulating flexible film edges, continuous trim webs, and solid extrusion sheets, conventional grinders risk film wrap-around along the rotor shaft. In TRIA XT series granulators, rotating side discs mounted directly on the rotor eliminate web entanglement around internal bearing assemblies.

An expanded classifying screen area promotes prompt regrind evacuation, preventing heat buildup and over-grinding. The units interface cleanly with pneumatic conveying ducts and cyclone separators for continuous closed-loop reclaim directly to extrusion feed throats.

Synchronized skeleton web reclaim in TF thermoforming lines

Continuous thermoforming lines for food trays, cups, and blister packaging generate continuous skeleton webs and perforated polymer scrap from PP, PS, PET, and PLA. TRIA TF series granulators feature a low-profile vertical footprint, integrating underneath trimming presses or stackers.

Automated traction rollers with independent pneumatic pressure synchronize infeed velocity with the cycle speed of the thermoforming press. Integral acoustic sound dampening lowers operational noise to comfortable levels, enabling placement adjacent to packaging operators.

Technical identification of TRIA components by nameplate data

Precise replacement of granulator blades, perforated screens, seals, and drive parts across TRIA machinery relies on machine serial numbers, model designations, and engineering drawings. Technical specialists evaluate knife geometry, cutting edge angles, and alloy tool steels.

For legacy granulator installations, modern interchangeable cutter sets and bearing cartridges maintain factory mounting dimensions without requiring machine modifications. This simplifies scheduled rebuilds and restores original size-reduction throughput.
