The plastic waste shredder machine plays a key role in the processing of waste plastics, as they are able to break up waste plastic material into small pieces for subsequent washing or pelletizing.
However, different types of plastics require different types of plastic waste shredder machines to process them. In this article, we’ll cover a few common types of plastic waste shredder machines and the types of plastics they’re suitable for.
Plastic Film Shredder
The plastic film shredder is specially designed to process plastic film-type materials, such as plastic bags, packaging films, greenhouse films, industrial films, agricultural films, woven bags, cement bags, raffia grass, and so on.
This type of plastic waste shredder machine can efficiently shred film materials into small particles for subsequent recycling. Commonly applicable plastics include polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).
Hard Plastic Shredder
The hard plastic shredder is used to process hard plastic materials such as water pipes, plastic sheets, plastic baskets, plastic toys, pipes, PVC pipes, HDPE containers, and so on.
They usually have a strong crushing capacity and are able to break hard plastics into small pieces. Suitable hard plastics include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC).
Bottle Crusher Machine
Our bottle crusher machine is specially designed to process PET bottles and is an essential plastic recycling machine for PET bottle washing lines. After the bottle crusher machine crushes PET bottles into plastic flakes, they go into the washing system. After repeated washing, the final result is recycled PET flakes.
EPS Foam Shredder
The EPS foam shredders are mainly used to process Styrofoam materials such as EPS or EPE. These plastic waste shredder machines are capable of compressing and crushing lightweight Styrofoam into smaller particles, reducing the size of the material and helping with recycling and transport.
In general, plastic shredders are divided into various types according to the types and characteristics of plastics to be processed, and each type is equipped with a specific crushing capacity and scope of application. Choosing the right plastic shredder for a specific material helps to improve the recycling efficiency of waste plastics and reduce the waste of resources.
