Plastic waste crushers are important equipment for processing waste plastics and other materials, and they play a vital role in environmental protection and waste reuse.
However, due to prolonged use or improper operation, plastic waste crusher may experience some common problems. In this article, we will introduce three common failures of plastic waste crusher and provide corresponding solutions to ensure their efficient operation and long-lasting use.

Clogging problems with plastic waste crusher

Description of problem

The plastic materials shredder may become clogged, preventing the smooth processing of plastic waste.

Possible causes

Clogging may be caused by plastic waste that is too large or too hard and by failure to clear waste buildup in a timely manner.

Solution

  • Regular maintenance: Check the plastic materials shredder blades and screens regularly after each use to make sure they are free of residual plastic debris to avoid clogging problems.
  • Adequate feeding: Control the amount of feeding to ensure that the size and hardness of the plastic waste is suitable for the processing capacity of the plastic materials shredder, to prevent clogging caused by too large or too hard waste.
  • Regular cleaning: After a long period of use, the inside of the plastic materials shredder should be cleaned regularly to remove the accumulated waste to prevent clogging.

Noise problem of plastic waste crusher

Problem description

During use, the waste plastic crushing machine may produce abnormal noise, which affects the working environment and equipment life.

Possible causes

Noise problems are usually caused by worn, unbalanced, or loose parts of the equipment.

Solution

  • Lubrication and maintenance: Regularly lubricate and maintain the key parts of the waste plastic crushing machine to reduce wear and friction, and reduce noise.
  • Tighten parts: Check and tighten all parts to ensure that they are not loose, especially the blade and knife seat, and other parts susceptible to vibration.
  • Balance Calibration: Balance the rotating parts of the waste plastic crushing machine to ensure that the equipment operates at high speeds with less vibration and noise.

Overload protection problem of plastic waste crusher

Problem description

The plastic waste crusher may be overloaded, causing the unit to stop working or even damaging components.

Possible causes

Overloads are usually caused by too much continuous operation or too much material being fed into the plastic crusher.

Solution

  • Reasonable arrangement of working time: In the use of plastic crushing machine, to avoid continuous work for a long time, to give the equipment sufficient cooling rest time, to prevent overheating and overloading.
  • Control the amount of feeding: control the feeding speed and volume, to ensure that the plastic shredder can gradually process waste, to avoid overloading the one-time input of too much waste.
