Key Features of This Technology

1. Continuous Feeding, High Efficiency

Continuous feeding of rigid plastics with advanced anti-block design ensures stable, high throughput operation.

2. Movable Hopper, Jam-Free

Special movable hopper handles large rigid parts without jamming, maximizing uptime and throughput.

3. Large Rotor Productivity

Custom large-diameter rotor increases contact area for faster shredding and higher productivity.

4. Robust Transmission

Coupling connections reduce vibration and protect the main shaft and reducer from force shocks.

5. PLC Automation

PLC controls start/stop, forward, and overload protection for safe, stable, automated operation.

Applications of This Technology

1. Large PE/PVC Pipes, Boards

Shreds large rigid pipes and boards (PE, PVC) smoothly without jam.

2. PP / PC / ABS Lumps

Handles bulky rigid lumps and purge materials from production lines.

3. Pallets

Reduces rigid plastic pallets into recyclable, manageable pieces.

4. Waste Wire & Cable

Processes plastic coatings from wires and cables for recycling.

5. Metal/Glass/Carbon Fiber

Handles composites and separates rigid plastic components for further processing.

6. Extruder Die Head Waste (Purge)

Processes tough, bulky purge and die-head waste from extrusion lines. Jam-resistant hopper and high-torque rotor handle irregular, dense lumps efficiently.

Reliable across rigid pipes and composite materials — built for recycling performance.

FAQ

Which rigid materials can this shredder handle?
Typical inputs include PVC pipe and sheet, ABS electronics housings, PC lenses/guards, PS packaging inserts, HDPE crates/drums, PP car bumpers, pallets, and extruder die head purge.
What throughput can I expect?
Throughput depends on model, screen size, and material density. Refer to the table above (approx. 400–1300 kg/h across the listed models) and contact us with your feedstock for an exact estimate.
How do I select the screen size?
Choose the screen based on your target particle size and downstream process. Finer screens increase uniformity but reduce throughput; coarser screens increase output rate.
Can it process bulky purge and irregular lumps?
Yes. The jam‑resistant hopper and high‑torque rotor are designed for dense, irregular purge and die‑head waste common to extrusion lines.
What safety and automation features are included?
Systems typically include PLC control with start/stop, forward, overload protection, and integration options for e‑stops and interlocks. We can tailor controls to your plant standards.
