Matching the machine to the plastic
Thick purgings and lumps need a single or double shaft shredder first; bottles, crates and pipes can go straight into a high-speed crusher; film needs anti-wrapping rotors. Choosing wrong means jammed rotors, dust instead of flakes, and washing lines starved or flooded.
Key parameters to define
- Polymer types and forms: bottles, film, lumps, pipes, crates.
- Contamination: labels, sand, metal in your feed stream.
- Target flake size for your washing or pelletizing line.
- Throughput matched to downstream capacity.
- Wet or dry crushing for your process route.
Typical configuration ranges
| Item | Common options | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Single shaft, double shaft, high-speed crusher | By form and polymer |
| Throughput | Rotor width class | 300 kg/h – 3 t/h |
| Flake size | Screen selection | 8–20 mm |
| Blades | D2/SKD-11 class steels | Spare sets per quotation |
Ranges are indicative. Film and fiber require anti-wrap rotor designs.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Material test | Video of your plastic form shredded at rated load? |
| Flake quality | Flake size distribution and fines percentage? |
| Wear cost | Blade life in hours on your contamination level? |
| Noise & dust | Enclosure and collection included for your site rules? |
| Downstream fit | Does output match your washer or pelletizer feed rate? |
