10 HP Gloucester Engineering 1012BP Granulator | 10" x 12" | 1984 | S/N 101201-0184

10 HP Gloucester Engineering Model 1012BP Plastic Granulator | 1984

The Gloucester Engineering 1012BP is a rugged, portable granulator engineered for high-torque "beside-the-press" recycling. Featuring a 10" x 12" feed opening and a powerful 10 HP drive motor, this unit is optimized for processing tough engineering resins, sprues, and small purgings that standard 7.5 HP grinders often struggle to handle.

Manufactured in 1984 (S/N 101201-0184), this unit features Gloucester’s signature "Pelican" style tilt-back hopper, providing tool-free access to the cutting chamber for rapid cleaning and color changes. Mounted on heavy-duty casters, it is a versatile asset designed to be moved between production cells to provide immediate, localized scrap reduction.
