The VihoX 1000 Dual-Inlet Inline Thermoforming Scrap Crusher (1-to-2) stands as our preeminent shared granulation platform, tailored for massive packaging facilities running dual parallel wide-platen cup machines or heavy three-station forming units. Built with an extraordinary 1000 mm cutting chamber (internal dimensions: 1000×330 mm) and two separate servo-assisted traction infeed bays operating across 5–40 m/min, this flagship installation processes uninterrupted web skeletons from two major production lines simultaneously.
Outfitted with a 15–22 kW industrial electric motor, a 5.5 kW high-volume pneumatic conveying fan, and twin 1.5 kW synchronized infeed pinch drives, the VihoX 1000-1to2 processes dual web skeleton streams in PP, PS, PET, PLA, and HIPS (gauges from 0.2 to 3.5 mm) at an aggregated rate of 300–550 kg/h. Featuring 4 bed anvil knives and 6 heavy DC53 alloy rotary blades inside a vibration-damped soundproof enclosure (65–85 dB), it discharges clean, dust-free regrind directly into factory resin hoppers.

The VihoX 1000 Dual-Inlet inline granulator represents the pinnacle of shared factory scrap reclaim. By dividing the massive 1000 mm cutting chamber across two independent motorized infeed throats, two separate production lines can run completely different mold tools, cycle speeds, and part depths without interference. The heavy-duty 6-knife open helical rotor shears sequentially through tough polymer sheets against 4 anvil beds, maintaining low rotational drag and quiet plant operation.
Mega-capacity packaging plants cannot afford scrap accumulation or manual granulator feeding. The VihoX 1000 Dual-Inlet installation operates as a heavy-duty recycling hub, taking in massive dual web streams and pneumatically conveying up to 550 kg/h of clean regrind directly into continuous extrusion hoppers with zero operator intervention.
The VihoX 1000 dual-inlet inline crusher matches seamlessly with our heavy production equipment:
The 1000 mm shared platform processes up to 550 kg/h of combined scrap, easily keeping pace with two high-speed mega-platen thermoformers running 35+ cycles/min.
Each of the two infeed throats is driven by an independent servo/inverter roll assembly with ultrasonic dancer feedback, isolating web speeds completely before entering the 1-meter cutting rotor.
Absolutely. A heavy-duty centrifugal blower continuously sweeps high-velocity air across the screen and rotor, evacuating flakes instantly and maintaining cool cutting chamber temperatures.
Operators only need to wipe down the traction pinch rollers periodically and lubricate the heavy-duty rotor bearings via external grease nipples once a month.
Yes, heavy vibration-damped acoustic steel enclosures surround the cutting head, keeping plant floor ambient sound levels under 85 dB even during peak dual-line granulation.
The vacuum-hardened DC53 alloy blades consistently deliver 450 to 650 hours of active shearing life before needing precision edge grinding.
This mega-granulator connects to 380V 50Hz 3-phase mains with a total connected power of about 29 kW, accommodating the 22 kW main motor and all auxiliary drives.
Our export package contains fully engineered dual-line electrical schematics, stainless steel conveying line layouts, English manuals, and on-call video commissioning assistance.
