Extrusion performance starts with better regrind: CMG Granulators at IFAT and PRSE 2026
 |
In extrusion processes, everything seems under control. Until consistency starts to fluctuate.
Material variability, recycled content and increasing quality demands are redefining how extrusion lines perform.
And in many cases, the root cause of instability does not lie in the extrusion phase itself.
It starts earlier.
It starts with the regrind.
This is the perspective that CMG Granulators brings to the market, and that will be presented at upcoming international events such as IFAT 2026 (Munich, May 4–7) and Plastics Recycling Show Europe 2026 (Amsterdam, May 5–6).
Extrusion under pressure: where performance is really defined
Modern extrusion lines are no longer operating under stable, predictable conditions. Instead, they are required to manage increasingly complex scenarios, where materials and processes are constantly evolving.

They must handle heterogeneous post-consumer materials, often with inconsistent characteristics. At the same time, they are expected to process higher and higher percentages of recycled content, which introduces additional variability in quality and behavior. On top of that, input streams are rarely stable, fluctuating in composition, volume, and performance.
In this context, extrusion is no longer just a production process—it becomes a continuous balancing act, where efficiency, quality, and stability must be maintained despite ever-changing conditions.
Not all regrind is the same
Uniformity, absence of dust and consistent particle size are not just quality indicators—they directly influence process efficiency.
High-quality regrind enables:
- • stable feeding conditions
- • improved melt homogeneity
- • reduced wear and stress on extrusion equipment
- • better repeatability of the final product
This is the foundation of CMG’s approach: granulation is not simply a size reduction step, but a strategic lever for process optimization.
Designed for extrusion: performance through consistency
CMG systems are engineered to support extrusion applications across multiple sectors, including:
- • rigid plastics
- • film and sheet extrusion
- • pipes and profiles
- • industrial scrap recovery
The focus is not only on throughput, but on delivering consistent and repeatable regrind quality, even when processing complex materials.
This translates into more stable extrusion conditions and improved overall efficiency of the line.

From machine to process performance
CMG’s approach goes beyond the standalone machine.
Each solution is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing extrusion lines, supporting:
- • continuous operation
- • process stability
- • optimization of material reuse
This system-oriented vision positions CMG as a technology partner, capable of improving the efficiency of the entire production process.
A clear message for the extrusion industry
As CMG prepares to meet the market at IFAT and PRSE 2026, the message is clear:
In extrusion, performance is no longer defined only by capacity. It is defined by consistency. And consistency starts with better regrind.
