Plastic Grinder
Product Overview
The Plastic Grinder is a high-throughput, heavy-duty crusher engineered for efficient size reduction of large and rigid plastic components. From everyday bottles and containers to oversized items like 20-gallon drums, the machine reliably processes a wide range of plastic waste.
Key components—including blades, screen meshes, and feeding/discharge modules—can be customized to match specific material properties and plant layout requirements. It’s ideal for centralized in-plant grinding, material classification, and pre-processing in recycling workflows.
The grinder supports both manual and automated material handling, and an optional soundproof enclosure is available to reduce operational noise. As a core unit in most recycling lines, it ensures consistent and scalable performance.
Key Features
- High-Throughput Grinding Capacity: Processes up to 1000 kg/hr, suitable for medium to large-scale recycling operations.
- Wide Material Compatibility: Capable of crushing sprues, large plastic blocks, PA drums, and glass fiber-reinforced materials.
- Customizable Blade System: Blade quantity and configuration (rotating and fixed) can be tailored to suit different plastics and hardness levels.
- Flexible Screen Options: Interchangeable screen meshes available from 12 mm to 100 mm to meet downstream particle size requirements.
- Optional Soundproof Enclosure: Minimizes operational noise to enhance operator comfort and reduce environmental impact.
- Modular Construction: Customizable infeed and discharge modules support both manual and automated integration.
Applications
- Crushing plastic bottles, containers, sprues, and bulky or rigid plastic parts
- Pre-processing stage in recycling lines for material size reduction and classification
- Shredding high-hardness or irregularly shaped engineering plastics
- Upstream preparation for extrusion or pelletizing systems
