Plastic Shredder: Working Principle and Analysis of ACERETECH Product Advantages

What is a plastic shredder?

A plastic shredder is an industrial equipment specially used to process various plastic materials. It can tear large plastic products, plastic scraps, waste plastics, etc. into smaller fragments or particles. This equipment plays a vital role in the plastic recycling industry and is the first key process in the plastic recycling process.
Plastic shredders are different from ordinary pulverizers. They have stronger processing capabilities and wider applicability. They can process plastic products of various shapes and sizes, including plastic barrels, plastic pipes, plastic films, plastic bottles, etc. Through shredding, the volume of plastic materials is greatly reduced, which is convenient for subsequent recycling processes such as cleaning, sorting, melting and granulation.


Working principle of plastic shredder

The core working principle of plastic shredders is based on the mechanical action of shearing, tearing and extrusion to break down large plastic materials into small fragments. The following is its detailed working process:

1. Feeding system: The material is fed into the shredder feed port through a conveyor belt or manually. Large equipment is usually equipped with a forced feeding device to ensure continuous and stable feeding.
2. Knife shearing: After the material enters the shredding chamber, it is bitten by the carbide knife on the rotating knife roller. The two sets of knife rollers that cooperate with each other rotate at a relatively low speed (usually 20-60rpm), generating a strong shear force.
3. Tearing process: The knife continuously pulls and tears the material, and at the same time produces a strong squeezing effect at the gap between the knife rollers, causing the plastic material to break.
4. Screen filtering: Some models are equipped with a screen at the bottom, and only fragments smaller than the size of the screen hole can pass through. Materials that do not meet the requirements will continue to be processed in the shredding chamber.
5. Discharging and conveying: The processed plastic fragments are discharged through the discharging port and can directly enter the next process or be transported to the designated location through conveying equipment.


The working efficiency of the plastic shredder depends on many factors, including tool design, motor power, speed control, and material characteristics. Modern high-end shredders are usually equipped with intelligent control systems that can automatically adjust the speed and torque according to the load to achieve the best shredding effect.
