Rotoplex Ro
This product line has almost achieved cult status. The concept and the sturdy machine design make it ideal for any cuttable material – especially if high cutting forces and high throughput rates are required. Although the classic in ALPINE's granulator range, it is upgraded continually to accommodate the latest technology.
- Sizes from 15 – 500 kW
- Patented cross-scissor cut
- Solid spheroidal graphite cast iron design
- High specific cutting capacity for maximum throughputs
- Special designs available
- Optimal product feeding characteristics
We are making history!
60 years of Rotoplex: Technical innovation to perfection
Who can claim that their system has been on the market for over six decades? We can!
The starting signal for this decisive development was given years earlier.
We have compiled an overview of the biggest technical developments at Rotoplex here:
- 1954: The first machine with a horizontal rotor was constructed and the name Rotoplex was registered as a trademark for the first time
- 1956: The first machine with a vertical rotor was developed
- 1965: The Alpine Rotoplex Ro granulator rolls off the production line in its “current” form for the first time in Augsburg
- seit 1965: Introduction & Export to markets worldwide
- 1972: The Rotoplex is used for the first time for shredding cable waste
- 1984: Further development with patented cross-shear cut (lower load peaks and even wear)
- 1988: Development of the largest rotor diameter in Rotoplex history to date: the Alpine Rotoplex Ro 125/125
- 2003: Further development of the Rotoplex for wet grinding operation
- 2024: Optimization of the rotor for recycling fibres and textiles
- 2025: Around 8,000 systems sold worldwide
This product line has almost achieved cult status in Alpine's granulator range. It is characterised by an extremely powerful and robust design, incorporating the Alpine cross-scissor cut rotor. High-grade spheroidal graphite cast iron in GGG-40 quality ensures that even in continuous heavy-duty operation, the Rotoplex granulators do their job reliably over many years.
