Efficient Plastic Pallet Recycling: A 1.5 Ton/Hour Complete Line Solution with Double-Shaft Shredder and GH Crusher

2025/11/20

Article Summary

Facing the increasing volume of waste plastic pallets, how can efficient and economical recycling be achieved? This article will provide an in-depth analysis of a plastic pallet recycling solution with a capacity of up to 1.5 tons per hour.  The core of this solution consists of a d ouble-shaft shredder and a GH heavy-duty crusher, aiming to provide recycling companies with a stable, efficient, and cost-effective professional configuration.

I. Challenges: Pain Points in Waste Plastic Pallet Recycling

Waste plastic pallets, with their large size, heavy weight, and sturdy structure, pose a significant challenge to the recycling industry. Traditional crusher methods often face the following challenges:

* Low processing efficiency: Large pieces of material entering the crusher directly can easily cause jamming and overloading, severely affecting processing speed.
* Severe equipment wear and tear:  This causes significant impact on the crusher blades and motor, shortening the equipment's lifespan.
* Uneven output: Single-stage crushing makes it difficult to obtain ideal particles of uniform size, affecting the efficiency and quality of subsequent cleaning and granulation processes.
Therefore, a two-step process of "pre-shredding followed by crushing" has become the ideal choice for processing large, thick-walled plastics.
* Preventing Metal Damage to the Crusher: If metal enters the crusher, it will directly damage the crusher's blades. Twin-shaft shredders, due to their low-speed rotation, can accept metal. Removing the metal after shredding helps protect the crusher's lifespan.

To address the above pain points, we have launched this market-proven high-efficiency recycling line. Its core lies in the collaborative operation of two key pieces of equipment, optimizing the processing flow and maximizing production capacity.

Step One: Coarse Crushing – Powerful Pre-treatment with a Double-Shaft Shredder

The starting point of the entire line is our heavy-duty dual-shaft shredder. It plays the role of a "pioneer."

Key Parameters: The shredder rotor shaft is 1500mm long, providing a wide feed opening and powerful processing space.
Working Principle: Relying on two counter-rotating knife shafts, it easily breaks down entire plastic pallets into irregular small pieces through low-speed, high-torque shearing and tearing action. 
Core Advantages: The pre-processed material size is significantly reduced, not only creating ideal working conditions for the subsequent crusher but also greatly protecting the next-stage equipment, avoiding instantaneous impacts and ensuring the stable operation of the entire line.

Step Two: Fine Crushing – GH Crusher Achieves Fine Crushing

The plastic blocks processed by the shredder are then sent to the GH series heavy-duty crusher for fine processing.

Core Parameters: This crusher is equipped with a high-specification crushing chamber with a rotor diameter of 700mm and a shaft length of 1400mm, ensuring powerful crushing capacity and throughput.
Working Principle: The material is repeatedly impacted and sheared between the high-speed rotating rotor and the fixed blades, and finally crushed into ideal particles of uniform size that meet the requirements of the downstream process (usually 10-20mm).
Core Advantages: The GH crusher is designed for high-volume, continuous operation. Its robust structure and optimized blade layout ensure that it can still produce high-quality, uniform recycled plastic flakes at a stable output of 1.5 tons/hour.

III. Overall Line Advantages and Core Data

The scientific combination of the double-shaft shredder and the GH crusher results in more than just a 1+1=2 effect, but a systematic improvement in efficiency:

High Capacity: The entire line is designed for a stable output of 1.5 tons/hour, meeting the daily production needs of medium and large-scale recycling companies.
High Efficiency: The "shredding first, then crushing" process is smooth, avoiding material blockage and equipment idling, resulting in lower energy consumption per unit of time.
High Stability: The staged processing reduces the extreme pressure on a single piece of equipment, reduces the failure rate, and extends the overall service life.
High-Quality Output: The final flakes are uniform in size, providing an excellent raw material base for subsequent cleaning, separation, and granulation processes.
