Gloucester 1012BP Plastic Grinder - 7.5 HP - Portable Beside-the-Press | 10" x 12"

7.5 HP Gloucester Engineering Model 1012BP Plastic Granulator

The Gloucester Engineering 1012BP is a rugged, compact granulator engineered for high-efficiency, localized recycling. Featuring a 10" x 12" feed opening, this unit is built with the signature "Pelican" style tilt-back hopper, allowing for rapid, tool-free access to the cutting chamber for cleaning and color changes. Its 7.5 HP drive provides a balanced mix of power and energy efficiency, making it the industry standard for standard-duty plastic reclamation.

Mounted on heavy-duty casters, the 1012BP is designed for maximum portability, allowing it to be easily moved between production machines as needs change. The 3-blade open rotor design ensures consistent airflow through the chamber, which helps maintain the quality of the regrind by preventing heat-related degradation of the plastic.
