Rigid/hard Plastic Shredder/Crusher Machine

Rigid/hard Plastic Shredder/Crusher Machine is a mechanical equipment used to process hard plastic materials. It uses sharp blades to cut bottles, containers, pipes and other hard plastic materials into small pieces for subsequent processing. It usually consists of a material opening, a crushing chamber, a blade, a knife rest, a screen and a discharge opening. Hard plastic crushers are characterized by their robustness, high efficiency and rapid processing of hard plastics. The hard plastic crusher is equipped with a small-aperture screen that can effectively crush and output waste plastics. We provide 200kg/h, 500kg/h, 800kg/h, and 1000kg/h hard plastic crushers for you to choose from.

What plastics can be processed in rigid plastic crushing machine？

Rigid plastics differ from soft plastics, which are soft and flexible and are commonly used in products such as plastic bags, packaging films and shrink wrap. Hard plastic crushers are primarily designed to process plastics such as HDPE, PVC, ABS, PS and PE. These plastic materials are commonly used in a variety of applications, from plastic tubes and bottles to packaging materials. Some plastic baskets, plastic trays, plastic tubes, plastic furniture, plastic toys, shampoo bottles and other hard plastics, etc.

Difference Between Soft And Hard Plastic Crusher

The main difference between hard and soft plastic shredder machines is the screen aperture setting. For hard plastic crushers, the screen aperture is relatively small (around 24 mm or so). This design can crush the hard plastic pieces into smaller particles for subsequent recycling and granulation.

While for soft plastic shredder machines, the screen aperture is usually larger (around 90 mm or so). Since soft plastics are more malleable and deformable, they do not need to be crushed too small, but only shredded into the proper form for subsequent pelletizing.

If a user wishes to process both hard and soft plastics in one HDPE shredder, this can be accomplished by adjusting the screen. Depending on the type of raw material, different screen apertures can be flexibly selected, thus realizing efficient processing of multiple materials on the same plastic jug shredder. Of course, when replacing the screen mesh, make sure to choose the appropriate screen specification to ensure the crushing effect and stable operation of the PVC crusher machine.

advantages of Rigid Plastic Crusher Machine machine

• Strong crushing ability： Hard plastics usually have high compressibility and wear resistance, and plastic shredders specially designed to crush hard plastics can cope with these characteristics and effectively break hard plastics into small particles.
• Durable and stable：In order to cope with the high hardness and wear resistance of hard plastics, plastic shredders usually use high-quality cutting tools and wear-resistant parts to ensure stable operation for a long time.
• Stable operation：The crushing process of hard plastics requires greater power and more stable operation, so these crushers are usually equipped with powerful motors and stable control systems to ensure efficient and stable crushing operations.
• Customizable to meet diverse needs:In order to adapt to the characteristics of hard plastics, this type of industrial plastic shredder is usually customized according to the customer’s raw materials and requirements, including the structure of the crushing cavity, feeding method, knife arrangement, etc. Each shredder will undergo a dynamic balance test before leaving the factory to ensure that the blades meet quality requirements.
