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.
Principle of Operation
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.
Features
Rotors in patented Alpine cross-scissor-cut technology
Compact design
Easy to clean
Excellent value for money
Also available in stainless steel
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
