Rigid plastic shredder machine is a kind of machinery and equipment designed to deal with waste plastics. It provides strong support for plastic recycling by precisely cutting and crushing waste plastic products into small pieces that can be reused.

How does the plastic crusher work?

Application range of rigid plastic shredder machine

Rigid plastic shredder machine is widely used in the plastic recycling industry and by plastic product manufacturers. It can process all kinds of rigid plastic wastes, including but not limited to PET bottles, PVC pipes, HDPE sheets and so on. These rigid plastic wastes are usually difficult to degrade after being discarded, causing serious problems to the environment. With the industrial plastic shredder machine, these wastes can be efficiently crushed into smaller pieces for subsequent reprocessing or recycling.

What are rigid plastics?

Rigid plastics are plastic materials that are hard, and strong and retain their shape even when not in use. They are produced through a variety of thermoforming processes and include products such as buckets, sprinklers, planters, pasta strainers, garden furniture, laundry baskets, plastic pallets, garbage cans and pipes.

Rigid plastics differ from soft plastics, which are soft and pliable and are commonly used in products such as plastic bags, packaging film and shrink wrap. While both types of plastics can be recycled, rigid plastics are typically more difficult to recycle due to their size and shape.

However, with the use of advanced plastic recycling techniques and machinery, the recycling of rigid plastics is becoming more efficient and effective and is an important step in reducing waste and promoting sustainable processing practices.

Working principle of hard plastic shredder

The working principle of the industrial plastic shredder machine is based on the high-speed rotation of the blades and the collision friction of the hard plastic. When the hard plastic enters the crushing chamber, the hard plastic crusher machine blades quickly cut and break it into small pieces.

After many cuts and impacts, the hard plastic is finally crushed into the required size. The hard plastic crusher machine screen then plays the role of sorting in this process, passing the pieces that meet the specifications and ensuring the quality of the final product.

Plastic shredder machine design and structure

Infeed opening

Rigid plastic shredder machine is equipped with a wide feeding opening to accommodate different sizes of plastic products. Continuous and efficient workflow is realized by an automatic feeding device.

Crushing chamber

The layout of the blades in the crushing chamber is carefully designed to ensure that the plastic products are crushed evenly and efficiently. The optimization of waste plastic shredder machine internal structure reduces energy consumption and improves crushing efficiency.

Blades

Waste plastic crusher machine adopts multi-angle and multi-level blade design, which can effectively cut different types of rigid plastics. The selection of plastic crusher machine blade material is strictly tested to ensure long service life.

Screen

During the crushing process, the fine particles need to be screened through the plastic materials shredder screen to ensure the uniform size of the final product. For hard plastics, screen diameters are typically 20 mm to 26 mm.

The plastic materials shredder screen mesh can be replaced according to different needs, adapting to different application scenarios.
