CMG Granulators expands its headquarters
15 January 2026
CMG Granulators will take part, as a sponsor, at PETCORE EUROPE Annual Conference 2026 that will be held on the 05th and the 06th of February in Rome.
The PETCORE EUROPE Annual Conference is the leading European event dedicated to the PET industry, providing an important opportunity for companies, institutions, and stakeholders to discuss innovation, sustainability, and the transition to a fully circular economy, with a particular focus on the strategic role of PET recycling, the most advanced mechanical and chemical recycling technologies, and the development of markets for recycled materials.
New EV 92-220: Advanced Granulation Systems for a New Era of Post-Consumer Plastics Recycling
In an era where sustainability and operational excellence are paramount, CMG Granulators introduces its Evolution Series, the next-generation line of granulation systems engineered specifically for post-consumer plastics. With a direct focus on energy efficiency, performance, and innovation, the Evolution Series sets a new benchmark in plastics recycling technology.
At the heart of this evolution is CMG’s proprietary design philosophy: delivering maximum throughput with minimum environmental footprint. Each Evolution Series model is optimized to reduce energy utilization by up to 50% compared to conventional granulators, achieved through advanced cutting geometries, unique rotor design, and intelligent drive systems. These design advancements provide the highest energy efficiency and the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) of the category.
Ease of maintenance is another cornerstone of the Evolution Series. Featuring simplified/quick access to key mechanical components, self-lubrication systems and predictive diagnostic capabilities, the machines minimize downtime and make operational procedures easy and simple to implement. Every granulator in the series is built with operator safety and accessibility in mind.
The Evolution Series is also unmatched in terms of output. With processing capacities ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tons per hour, the series is versatile and scalable for applications across post-consumer rigid and flexible plastics. Equipped with a unique cutting chamber having proprietary CMG design, these granulators ensure clean, dimensionally consistent regrind, no powder or micro particles and the highest yield.
This is the year of the global debut of the EV 92-220 model, the largest and most powerful granulator ever introduced in the industry. Designed for heavy-duty applications and massive volume streams, the EV 92-220 features a revolutionary cutting chamber architecture and advanced control integration, for enhanced reliability under extreme operational loads. With an output capacity that exceeds any existing machine in the marketplace, it is the definitive solution for large-scale plastics recycling plants seeking both scalability and efficiency.
The Evolution Series represents a bold leap forward in sustainable plastics processing. By combining breakthrough engineering with operational simplicity and unmatched performance metrics, CMG Granulators continues to lead the change toward a more circular economy.
“The launch of the EV 92-220 marks not only a technological milestone but a statement of intents, a commitment to transforming waste into value at scale” Santella concludes.
Continuous Improvement & New Developments: New Evacuation & Dedusting Systems
CMG Granulators is introducing a brand-new development: the new range of evacuation, dedusting and powder containment system solutions. The unit is the largest of the category and can evacuate, convey, dedust an amount of regrind of up to 7.000 kg/h. The entire new range of the so called Regrind Evac Systems, starts at a capacity of 200 kg/h and, through a selection of 10 different sizes, reaches the impressive capacity of 7.000 kg/h.
The new evac systems operate under full vacuum, meaning the regrind material is evacuated from the granulator and is gently conveyed to a cyclone receiver and through a dedusting chamber, all of that under negative pressure. The advantages of using negative pressure are several, from not generating any dust or small particles by friction against the conveying pipe walls, to avoiding the impact against the blower impeller blades, utilized on conventional blow-thru evac systems.
The regrind is then deposited in a storage bin, gaylord or big-bag while the powdery air is handled by a purposely designed automatic self-cleaning filter unit. The powder collected at the filter unit is automatically compacted and deposited/boxed for recycling or disposal. The complete system guarantees ZERO pollution to the environment and the degree of filtration of the air from the filter station can be adjusted in respect to local regulations or specific requests.
All new system solutions supplied by CMG Granulators will be equipped with the new Evac Systems, that are also offered as upgrade kits for existing/legacy granulation systems, CMG and non-CMG.
As all machinery and equipment supplied by CMG Granulators, the new line of Regrind Evacuation Systems is entirely designed, produced and assembled at the CMG production premises in Italy.
