Precautions for Using Plastic Bottle Crusher Machine

plastic waste crusher and our manager

Plastic bottle crusher machine is one of the most important pieces of equipment in PET bottle washing line, mainly used for crushing plastic bottles.

Plastic bottles are crushed into thin sheets by plastic bottle crusher machine and this plastic can be easily reprocessed and utilized. Plastic bottle crusher machine is widely used in various industries. Different types of plastic products can be shredded and then recycled, greatly reducing the harm of white pollution to our environment.

Installation and commissioning of plastic bottle crusher machine

  • If the manufacturer has a certain plan for the location of their production workshop and intends to place and use the plastic bottle crusher machine for a long time, they can lock the crusher with the foot bolt pre-buried in the concrete. This can improve part of the rigidity of the equipment and reduce the noise generated when working. If it is often used mobile, you can inform the manufacturer in advance and install universal casters at the bottom to facilitate pushing.
  • The plastic bottle crusher machine should be placed according to the requirements of crushing and cleaning lines to avoid a closed tide stagnant environment, which is not conducive to normal heat dissipation of the dry motor.
  • Pay attention to the horizontal installation of the equipment and the ground.
  • After the installation is completed, the plastic bottle crusher machine needs to check whether all the lock nuts are loose before use (the manufacturer will check before leaving the factory and cannot completely guarantee the loosening caused by logistics and transportation, which of course belongs to a few cases).
  • Wiring needs to be based on the rated power and current of the equipment to choose the thickness of the main cable and the size of the air switch.

Precautions for using the plastic bottle shredder

  • Before starting the plastic bottle shredder, check whether the spindle rotation is normal, and adjust it in time if there is any deviation. Wait for the plastic crusher to operate normally before throwing material.
  • Stop throwing the waste material 15 minutes before the plastic bottle shredder stops, and turn off the control power in order after crushing the material thoroughly. Then clean up the residual materials in the plastic bottle shredder and knife frame, especially whether the screen is blocked cold, whether the knife is loose, etc.
  • Keep the plastic bottle shredder feeding evenly and prevent overload. Prevent metal, wood, and other unbreakable objects from falling into the machine.
  • Pay attention to the temperature change of the main shaft during each crushing operation of the period crusher. If the temperature of the main shaft is too hot, check the lubrication of the bearing in time after stopping. Before stopping the operation, stop the feeding and discharging of the machine, and then cut off the power of the motor.
  • In daily use, the plastic crusher can only play a more outstanding crushing effect if it is fully maintained and cared for. Customers who want to extend the life of the crusher can strictly regulate the operator’s behavior and reduce misuse to ensure efficient and safe operation of the machinery.

Maintenance of PET bottle crushing machine

  • The bearing corresponds to one of the important parts of PET bottle crushing machine , and good lubrication will bring longer life to the bearing. Therefore, the operator needs to refill the lubricant regularly, and it is recommended to use the manufacturer’s recommended model.
  • Observe the working status of the PET bottle crushing machine from time to time, and stop the machine immediately to check if there are strange noises and other problems.
  • Pay attention to checking the wear and tear of wearing parts (belt, crusher blade, plastic crusher screen, etc.) and keep an eye on replacing worn parts.
  • Pay attention to the bearing temperature during operation and make sure the bearings are well lubricated. When the bearing oil temperature rises, stop immediately to check the cause and eliminate it. Pay attention to the sound and vibration whether there is abnormal. When abnormal conditions are found, stop the machine to check whether it is stuck by unbreakable objects or whether the machine parts are damaged.
  • Keep the equipment inside and outside clean and tidy. Doing waste plastic recycling will inevitably come into contact with oil, chemical liquids, etc., which will stick to the tool and screen for a long time without cleaning, and even corrode the equipment.
