The same plastic can deliver different results: granulation technology helps determine the characteristics of recovered material and its value in downstream processing.
This is the message CMG Granulators will bring to Plastics Recycling World Expo 2026, taking place on November 11–12 in Cleveland, Ohio. A long-standing participant in the event, the company will meet customers, partners, and industry professionals at Booth R2509.

Discussions will focus on two models that reflect CMG’s approach to granulation: the EV92-160, designed for post-consumer plastics recycling, and the EV92-160-T, developed to address a specific production requirement in thermoforming.
EV92 series: throughput and regrind quality
Designed for large-scale recycling in wet or dry applications, the EV92 series includes the EV92-160 and EV92-220, offering different throughput options to meet plant requirements.
The open rotor and cutting configuration are designed to counteract material drag, limiting the formation of dust and microparticles and promoting dimensional consistency in the regrind.
Energy efficiency is another key strength: for the EV92 series, CMG reports energy consumption reductions of up to 50% compared with conventional granulators.
Maintenance is simplified by a fully lifting hopper, which provides access to the cutting chamber from all four sides, and a reversible segmented screen. Hardox wear-resistant steel cutting chamber components meet the demands of intensive applications.
EV92-160-T: a solution engineered around the process

The new EV92-160-T was developed to address a specific thermoforming application, demonstrating CMG’s ability to turn customer requirements into a dedicated engineering solution.
Its value lies in a design built around the process: materials, layout, available space, and production targets. Regrind quality, energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of maintenance guide development, alongside integration into the customer’s production environment.
Not all regrind is the same
The EV92 series and the new EV92-160-T put the principle “Not all regrind is the same” into practice: assessing granulation means considering both the characteristics of the resulting material and the efficiency with which it is produced.
In Cleveland, the CMG team will be available to discuss application requirements, configurations, and plastics recovery projects.
