  • 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.
