Plastic Materials Shredder’s 2 Types: for Film And PET Bottle

Plastic materials shredder is a kind of equipment that can crush waste plastic products, which is widely used in recycling, reprocessing, and other fields. This article will focus on the two main types of plastic materials shredder: plastic film shredder and PET bottle crusher, and discuss their similarities and differences, advantages and scope of application, and provide advice on choosing the suitable plastic materials shredder.

Plastic film shredder

Plastic film shredder is specially designed to process plastic film, plastic bags, and other soft plastic products. They usually have high-speed rotating blades that effectively shred the film into small pieces for easier subsequent processing. The features of plastic film crushers are listed below:

• Efficient processing: Plastic film shredder can quickly and efficiently process large quantities of film waste into manageable pellets, increasing processing efficiency.
• Space-saving: The smaller size of chopped plastic pieces saves storage and transportation space.
• Easy subsequent processing: The chopped pieces are more suitable for subsequent processing such as melt regeneration and pelletizing.

Scope of application

• Plastic bags and film waste from supermarkets, shopping malls, etc.
• Agricultural film, mulch and other wastes in the agricultural field.
• Plastic packaging materials in domestic waste.

PET bottle crusher

Plastic bottle crusher is specially designed to process various types of plastic bottles. These crushers are usually specially designed to ensure efficient shredding of plastic bottles for easy subsequent processing. The features of plastic bottle crushers are listed below:

• Versatility: plastic bottle crushers are usually suitable for a wide range of plastic bottle types with a certain degree of versatility.
• Good cutting effect: the blades and mechanisms designed for different types of plastic bottles ensure a more uniform cutting effect.
• Highly automated: some bottle crushers have automatic feeding and discharging functions, which reduces the workload of operators.

Scope of application

• Waste treatment of plastic bottles such as beverage bottles and food bottles.
• Recycling of plastic containers to provide raw materials for recycled plastic production.

Similarities and differences

Although plastic film crushers and plastic bottle crushers are both tools for plastic crushing, there are some key similarities and differences in how they handle different types of plastic waste.

• Objects: Plastic film crushers are mainly used to process plastic in the form of film, such as plastic bags, packaging film, and so on. Plastic bottle crusher is specialized in handling rigid plastic bottles, containers and so on.
• Blades and drive systems: Plastic film crushers are usually equipped with high-speed rotating blades to cut and tear film. In contrast, plastic bottle crushers have stronger blades and require a more powerful drive system to cope with the shredding of hard plastics.

How to choose the suitable plastic materials shredder

Consider the following key factors when choosing the right waste plastic crusher machine:

1. Waste type: Consider the type of plastic to be processed and select the corresponding plastic materials shredder. A film crusher is suitable for soft films and a bottle crusher is suitable for hard plastic bottles.
2. Processing capacity: According to the expected processing capacity, choose plastic materials shredder with sufficient crushing capacity to avoid clogging and inefficiency during processing.
3. Durability and maintenance costs: Consider the durability and maintenance costs of plastic materials shredder, and select reliable quality and easy-to-maintain equipment to reduce the operating costs in the later stage.
4. Adaptability and customization: If you have special requirements, choose a plastic materials shredder that can be customized to meet the actual needs of different types of plastics. Shuliy can customize the machine according to the requirements of the customer, if you need it, please feel free to contact us.
5. Energy efficiency: Consider the energy consumption of the equipment and choose a plastic materials shredder that provides efficient energy utilization to reduce operating costs.
