Things to consider when selling your surplus equipment


We've put together some brief points to consider when selling your surplus process equipment. These points should hopefully help you to gain the maximum return on your assets.

  1. Documentation. If possible, sell your equipment with its technical documentation, service history, drawings etc. as this is what most buyers will look for.
  2. Spares. If you have any spares, include them with the equipment.  This will be a big bonus for anyone looking to purchase the unit, knowing they won't need to buy any at an additional cost.
  3. Removal. Make sure that the removal of equipment is done correctly to avoid damage to your equipment.
  4. Show it off. Take some clear photographs to show its current condition. This will help to get you a realistic offer price. Take internal and external photographs including nameplates, inlet and outlet points etc.
  5. Trade In. Are you selling in order to upgrade? Perry offer the option to trade in your surplus assets against the cost of purchasing an item from our stock.

Granulator Machines

Granulators are machines that are used to break down materials, such as plastic products, so they can be recycled*.

*Did you know that survey reports say that discarded bottles, bags, packaging and other plastic represent as much as 40% of solid waste that is thrown out by people across the country.

Perry Stock # L0776
Unfortunately as plastic is not biodegradable it means that recycling is the only option to reducing the amount of plastic in landfills.

How does a granulator work?

A granulator basically operates like a large shredder. It turns bottles, bags and other plastic materials into little pellets or granules hence the name ‘granulator’. The granules are then sold on to manufactures or molders who will use the recycled raw materials to make other plastic materials.

Aside from aluminium and glass, plastic is the only other material that can be reproduced into new items that are the same quality as the original item.

Granulators must be kept clean in order to work efficiently, and keep their resale value. They require regular maintenance to oil the blades of the plastic granulator, and the inside chamber needs to be wiped clean regularly.

Cutting chambers of a granulator:


This is a “super–tangential” cutting chamber that has a 3-blade open rotor which is the preferred setup for items such as bottles and containers. It is also effective for large quantities of runners, small parts and film scrap.





This is called a “tangential” cutting chamber which has a 5-blade open rotor and is best for shredding sheet, thicker-walled parts, large quantities of shredded material and film scrap. An additional fixed knife for increased capacity is shown in yellow.
