The HS Series Shredder: The Key to Recycling Large Hard Lumps

2025/10/27

Any plastics production line generates a unique type of waste: large hard lumps. These are the early stages of solidification of plastic produced during startup, mold changes, or process adjustments. They are typically extremely dense, large, and irregularly shaped. In many factories, these "hard bones" are either cheaply disposed of as scrap or piled up in piles, taking up valuable storage space.
However, these seemingly useless lumps are actually 100% pure raw materials. Recycling them directly reduces production costs and increases profit margins. But the question remains: how can they be recycled efficiently and safely? Today, we not only provide the answer, but also demonstrate, through a stunning factory test video, how the Aceretech HS Series single-shaft shredder is key in this field.

I . Recycling Large Hard Die-End Waste: An Economic Consideration

Before discussing the technology, we must clearly consider the economic considerations and understand the absolute necessity of recycling:
* Return to Pure Raw Materials: Die-end waste is free of impurities and is pure plastics such as PE, PP, ABS, and PC. Recycling it can directly replace some new material, providing the most direct and effective cost control measure.
* High Disposal Costs: As industrial solid waste, careless disposal or landfilling is not only environmentally unfriendly but can also result in hefty environmental fines. Handling it to a third party also incurs significant costs. Recycling is a key step in transforming a "cost center" into a "profit center."
* Improving Production Efficiency: Promptly disposing of accumulated die-end waste optimizes factory space management, reduces safety hazards, and streamlines production processes.

II. The Dilemma of Traditional Recycling Methods: Why Are Ordinary Shredders "Ineffective"?

Handling large hard die-end waste places a significant strain on equipment. Ordinary shredders often face the following challenges:
* Insufficient power: Hard plastics require enormous instantaneous torque to rip. Conventional motors are prone to stalling, freezing, and even burning out when encountering large, hard materials.
* Fragile structure, unable to withstand heavy impact: Huge impact forces can severely damage the shredder's blade shaft, bearings, and housing, leading to frequent repairs and a shortened lifespan.
* Difficulty feeding and low efficiency: Large, irregular materials have difficulty entering the cavity of ordinary shredders, requiring manual secondary crushing. This is not only inefficient but also poses serious safety risks.

In Aceretech's factory test video, the HS Series single-shaft shredder demonstrates its unparalleled "hardcore" capabilities when handling heavy, large, and hard material. Behind this lies its exceptional design, specifically designed for processing hard plastics:
1. Superior Power Core: Heavy-Duty Reducers and Motors Imported from Europe
When the massive die material is pushed into the shredding chamber, the machine instantly shreds it without hesitation. This is due to the heavy-duty reducers and high-power motors from renowned European brands that come standard with the HS series. They provide a continuous stream of powerful torque, ensuring even the toughest materials are easily shredded, eliminating stalling.
2. Strong and Wear-Resistant "Teeth": Special Alloy Cutters and V-Shaped Rotating Blade Arrangement
The cutters experience virtually no wear during the shredding process, and the resulting shredded material is uniformly sized. This is thanks to the high-hardness and toughness of the special alloy steel cutters used in the HS series. The unique V-shaped rotating blade arrangement grips the smooth, hard die material like a vise, achieving efficient shearing, tearing, and squeezing, rather than simply chopping and smashing, significantly reducing cutter wear.
3. A Strong "Skeleton": Thickened Steel Plates and Impact-Resistant Structure
Video Explanation: Throughout the entire shredding process, the machine body remains remarkably stable, with no shaking. This is because the HS Series' chassis, cutter shaft, and bearing seat are all constructed with thickened steel plates and reinforced ribs, forming a sturdy "skeleton" that fully absorbs and resists the tremendous impact forces generated when shredding hard materials, ensuring long-term stable operation and an exceptionally long service life.
4. Intelligent "Brain": Siemens PLC Control System
The intelligent core of the HS Series is the Siemens PLC control system, featuring automatic forward and reverse rotation. If it encounters difficult, ultra-hard materials, the system intelligently identifies and automatically reverses, discharging the material before resuming forward shredding, effectively protecting the machine and enabling unmanned, highly safe, and continuous operation.


IV. Choosing the HS Series means choosing efficiency and peace of mind.

Recycling large, hard end products is not an optional task; it's a must-answer, impacting a company's costs and competitiveness. Choosing the Aceretech HS Series single-shaft shredder means you've chosen a reliable partner that truly solves problems and creates value. Its unwavering strength transforms challenging waste materials into valuable resources, making every gram of plastic count.
