Italian equipment manufacturer CMG introduced the EV 92-220 advanced granulation system designed specifically for wet or dry post-consumer plastics at K 2025.
CMG described the EV 92-220 as the largest and most powerful granulator ever introduced in the industry. It is designed for heavy-duty applications and massive volume streams. The output capacity, ranging from about 8,800 to 14,300 pounds per hour, exceeds any existing machine on the market, the company said.
The EV series is designed to reduce energy consumption by up to 50 percent, compared with similar models. This is achieved through advanced cutting geometries, unique rotor design and intelligent drive systems, the company said. These design advancements provide the highest energy efficiency and the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) of the category, according to CMG.
It is designed for simplified and quick access to key mechanical components, with self-lubrication systems and predictive diagnostic capabilities. The machines minimize downtime and make operational procedures safe and simple to implement.
The cutting chamber is a proprietary design to produce clean, dimensionally consistent regrind, with no powder or micro particles, and the highest possible yield.
Rotating knives with double sharpening and 55-degree inclination can be configured in a group of six or eight. Cutting chamber components are made of Hardox wear-resistant steel.
The control system monitors operating temperature, blade wear, productivity, operational efficiency and energy use. Operators can manage all functional parameters on board the machine or remotely with connectivity based on OPC-UA protocols.
The machine’s footprint is 7 feet by 4.3 feet.
CMG also offers two smaller EV models, its EV 916 and EV 616.
At K 2025, CMG also introduced its Regrind Evac System for evacuation, dedusting and powder containment with a capacity of up to 15,400 pounds per hour. It is available in 10 sizes, with the smallest having a capacity of about 441 pounds per hour. The system operates under negative pressure so it does not generate dust and avoids impact against the blower impeller blades.
CMG products are distributed in the U.S. by Universal Dynamics. CMG SpA is based in Budrio, Italy.
