Wanner Baby Granulator Series
Silent, Compact, and High-Precision Granulation for Small Sprues and Laboratory Applications
The Wanner Baby Granulator Series is a specialized granulation solution developed for the safe, quiet, and controlled processing of small sprues, micro parts, and laboratory-scale plastic waste generated in injection molding processes. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this series delivers Wanner's long-standing engineering expertise in plastic recycling and size-reduction technology within a compact machine concept.
Specifically engineered for micro-injection molding, precision part production, R&D and quality laboratories, as well as low-throughput production lines, the Wanner Baby is an ideal solution for applications that require low capacity without compromising granulate quality.
Primary Application Areas of Wanner Baby Granulators
Wanner Baby Series granulators provide high efficiency and process reliability in the following applications:
Small sprues generated by micro-injection molding machines
Laboratory test production and sample runs
Processes with frequent material changes
Recycling applications requiring low hourly throughput
Sensitive engineering plastics such as ABS, PA, POM, PP, and similar materials
In these applications, uniform granule size and minimal dust generation are critical factors for maintaining production quality.
Compact Design and Integrated Geared Drive System
One of the most significant advantages of Wanner Baby granulators is their extremely compact housing design. The integrated geared motor concept ensures maximum mechanical stability while occupying minimal floor space. As a result:
They can be directly integrated next to small injection molding machines
They are easily adaptable to robotic part removal and separation systems
They offer reliable operation even in confined production areas
The low rotor speed provides major benefits in terms of both quiet operation and low energy consumption.
Optimized Cutting Geometry for High Granulate Quality
Thanks to its specially optimized cutting geometry, the Wanner Baby Series converts small sprues and parts into high-quality, homogeneous granulate. This design ensures that:
Granule size remains consistent
Dust generation is kept to a minimum
Regranulated material can be directly reintroduced into the production process
This feature is particularly important in laboratory and test production environments, where material properties must be preserved.
Low Noise Emission and Operator-Friendly Design
Baby Series granulators operate extremely quietly due to their low rotor speed and rigid machine structure. This is a major advantage in laboratory environments and production areas where operators work in close proximity to the machine.
In addition, the machine features:
An easily accessible cutting chamber
Tool-free cleaning capability
Quick access to the rotor and knives
These characteristics significantly reduce cleaning and maintenance times. In applications with frequent material changes, this translates into substantial time savings.
