Plastic Crusher

Plastic Crusher, also known as Plastic Shredder, is mainly used for crushing various plastic materials and rubber products, such as plastic profiles, plastic pipes, plastic rods, plastic threads, plastic films, and waste rubber products.The crushed plastic granules can be directly used for extruders or injection molding machines, and can also be reused through basic granulation for recycling purposes.There is also a type of Plastic Crusher that serves as auxiliary equipment for injection molding machines, which can crush and recycle defective products and runner materials generated by injection molding machines.

Plastic Crusher is a feeding and recycling crushing equipment produced by our company. Its main application scope includes the crushing of waste plastic for recycling and the processing and crushing of waste materials and gate materials in injection molding units.In terms of machine models, this equipment is mainly divided into Heavy-duty Plastic Crusher, Lightweight Large-caliber Plastic Crusher, and Heavy-duty Plastic Shredder. Users can select the appropriate model according to their specific needs for crushing materials.The size range of the processed waste plastic is 3mm-30mm (the screen size can be customized according to requirements).

Working Principle:

In terms of the equipment operation principle, the Plastic Crusher mainly drives the moving knife disc to rotate at high speed through an electric motor. During the high-speed rotation of the moving knife, it forms a relative motion trend with the fixed knife. The gap formed between the moving knife and the fixed knife creates a cutting edge for plastic crushing and shearing, thereby crushing large pieces of plastic.The crushed plastic is filtered and output according to the size of plastic granules through the screen, and the entire processing process is convenient and labor-saving.For the processing of thin plastic films or woven bags, an integrated fan can be used to drive the directional flow of air in the machine cavity, so as to reduce the discharge resistance and increase the equipment output of the Plastic Crusher.

Main Components:

The Plastic Shredder is mainly composed of a feed inlet, a crushing chamber, a screen, a discharge outlet, an electric motor, and other components.Among them, the feed inlet is responsible for putting the plastic to be crushed into the machine; the crushing chamber is the main place where plastic is crushed, and it is equipped with high-speed rotating blades or hammers inside, which can crush plastic into small pieces; the screen is used to filter the crushed plastic granules to prevent oversized or undersized granules from entering the discharge outlet; the discharge outlet is used to discharge the plastic granules filtered through the screen out of the machine; the electric motor provides power for the entire Plastic Shredder equipment.

Operation Process:

When using the Plastic Shredder, first of all, it is necessary to put the plastic to be crushed into the feed inlet.Then start the electric motor to make the blades or hammers rotate at high speed in the crushing chamber.Next, observe the size and quality of the granules at the discharge outlet, and adjust the rotation speed of the electric motor or replace the screen with different pore sizes as needed.After the crushing is completed, turn off the electric motor and clean the residues inside the Plastic Shredder.It should be noted that safety must be ensured during the operation process to prevent hands or other objects from touching the high-speed rotating blades or hammers of the Plastic Shredder.
