30 HP Ball & Jewell CG-1620-SCXS Granulator | 16" x 20" | 1996 | S/N 3096-45970

30 HP Ball & Jewell CG-1620-SCXS Central Granulator | 1996 | Sound Attenuated

The Ball & Jewell CG-1620-SCXS is a heavy-duty central granulator designed for high-capacity recycling of bulky plastic scrap and thick-walled parts. Featuring a massive 16" x 20" cutting chamber and a high-torque 30 HP drive, this unit provides the aggressive cutting force required for 24/7 industrial reclamation. The "SCXS" designation signifies Ball & Jewell’s specialized sound-control package, which utilizes an integrated acoustic enclosure and a baffled hopper to maintain lower decibel levels on the production floor.

Manufactured in 1996 (S/N 3096-45970), this unit is built with an open rotor design that promotes maximum airflow through the chamber, preventing heat buildup in sensitive materials. The outboard-mounted bearings ensure zero grease contamination in your regrind, while the tilt-back "Pelican" hopper allows for fast, tool-free access during material changeovers or blade maintenance.
