RE16CB Grinder with Blower — 16″×16″ Granulator, 10 + 2 HP
A 10 HP granulator with 2 HP cyclone blower that grinds PET bottles and jars up to 10 litres and conveys the flakes pneumatically to bagging — 90 kg/hr of contained, continuous flake production with one operator.
From Baled Bottles to Bagged Flakes, One Operator
PET flake production lives or dies on handling. The grinding itself is straightforward — PET is thin-walled and cuts easily — but light flakes pile up under an open machine, someone has to keep clearing them, and every handling step costs labour and loses material.
The RE16CB closes that loop: the RE16 platform’s 3+2 blade set cuts bottles and jars up to 10 litres against the screen, and a 2 HP cyclone blower conveys the flakes straight into collection bags the moment they pass the mesh. One operator feeds; the machine does everything else.
At 90 kg/hr of light bottle feed — several thousand bottles an hour — it suits collection centres, washing-line operators and bottling plants destroying rejects with the output contained and saleable. One specification stated faithfully: this blower configuration produces an uneven shred size, which washing lines accept happily; if your buyer requires strictly screen-sized flake, the base RE16 produces it.

This CB configuration produces an uneven shred size — reproduced faithfully from the machine’s specification. Throughput is rated for light-weight material on a 15 mm screen; denser scrap grinds at the base-machine rates and output varies with feeding speed and bulk density. Keep metal objects out of the cutting area — they will break the blades. All specifications are subject to change for constant product development.

RE16CB Grinder with Blower — Frequently Asked Questions
How many bottles per hour is 90 kg?
A used 500 ml–1 litre PET bottle weighs a few tens of grams, so 90 kg/hr is several thousand bottles — the practical limit is usually operator feeding speed, not the machine. Weigh a sample sack of your typical bottles for a realistic per-hour figure.
Do caps and labels matter?
They grind along with the bottle — normal and accepted at the unwashed-flake grade. Buyers producing food-grade rPET separate polymers downstream by float-sink; if your buyer pays a premium for cap-free flake, de-capping is a sorting decision before the machine, not a machine limitation.
Why is the output listed as uneven shred?
That is the honest specification of this blower configuration: the air-assisted discharge favours throughput over perfectly screened flake, which suits washing lines fine. If your buyer requires strictly screen-sized flake, the base RE16 without blower produces it — we will recommend whichever matches your offtake.
What does a shift produce?
Roughly 700 kg of flake per steady 8-hour shift. Collection centres aggregating more than a tonne a day should look at the RE20CB or RE25CB on the same platform — capacity steps are honest, not optimistic.
What is the price of the RE16CB?
Mid-band in the blower range — see the plastic shredder machine price guide — final figure depending on screen and ducting. Send your intake volumes for a firm quotation.
Can I trial my bottles first?
Yes — bring your actual material to our works in Andheri East, Mumbai, and watch it processed on this machine before you decide. A trial settles throughput and output-size questions better than any brochure.
