What is a plastic crusher shredder?
Plastic crusher is a mechanical equipment used to crush various plastic products, mainly used to crush waste plastics, scraps or defective products in the production process for subsequent recycling or processing. The following is a detailed introduction about plastic crushers.
Working Principle
The plastic crusher drives the moving blade disc to rotate at high speed through an electric motor, forming relative motion between the moving blade and the fixed blade. It uses cutting, tearing, and other methods to crush plastic materials into small pieces or particles. Some models are also equipped with screens, which can control the particle size after crushing according to demand.
Main Types
Hard plastic crusher: suitable for crushing hard plastic sheets and pipes such as ABS, PE, PP, etc. It is usually equipped with a rectangular feeding port for easy processing of long strip materials.
Strong crusher: With strong versatility, it can handle various plastic products such as sheets, pipes, and profiles. The tool design takes into account both shear and impact forces, making it suitable for medium to large-scale production.
Plastic pipe crusher: specially designed for PE, PVC and other plastic pipes, with a round tube feeding port for easy pipe feeding, uniform particle size after crushing, suitable for pipe recycling scenarios.
Application Scenarios
Plastic recycling industry: Processing waste plastic bottles, films, packaging materials, etc. to achieve resource recycling.
Plastic processing enterprises: recycle the nozzle materials and defective products generated by injection molding machines and blow molding machines to reduce raw material costs.
In the field of environmental protection: reduce the accumulation of plastic waste and lower environmental pollution.
Technical Features
Low noise and low dust: Some models adopt double-layer sound insulation design and sealed structure to reduce noise and dust emissions.
Easy to maintain: The cutting tools can be quickly disassembled and replaced, and the mesh can be customized according to needs for easy cleaning and adjustment.
High degree of automation: Some high-end models are equipped with PLC control systems, which can achieve automatic feeding, crushing, and discharging, improving production efficiency.
Precautions
When using, it is necessary to choose suitable cutting tools and sieves according to the material type to avoid overloading operation.
Regularly inspect the fasteners, bearings, and other components of the equipment to ensure safe operation.
The broken plastic particles need to be further processed according to their intended use, such as cleaning, drying, etc.
Plastic crusher is an important equipment in the field of plastic processing and recycling. Through efficient crushing and recycling, it helps to reduce production costs, minimize resource waste, and meet the requirements of environmental protection and sustainable development.
