A Practical Choice for Small-to-Medium Scale Plastic Recycling – Small Waste Shredder
In plastic recycling projects, not all scenarios require large-scale shredding equipment. Small waste shredders, with their compact size, ease of operation, and controllable cost, have become core equipment for family workshops, community recycling points, and small recycling companies, providing an efficient solution for decentralized plastic recycling.
This equipment is specifically designed for small-to-medium scale plastic recycling, accurately processing common plastic waste from daily life and small-scale production, such as waste beverage bottles, food packaging boxes, plastic films, small plastic parts, and fragments of appliance casings. Its core working principle involves a medium-power motor driving a single-shaft or dual-shaft blade assembly, combined with a compact crushing chamber design, to shear and crush the plastic materials. Addressing the material characteristics of small-scale recycling scenarios, the equipment is equipped with a flexible feed inlet to accommodate different shapes of small plastic waste. Simultaneously, the adjustable blade gap design can crush plastic into uniform particles of 5-20 mm, meeting the processing needs of subsequent manual sorting or small pelletizing machines while avoiding increased processing costs due to excessively small particle size.
In terms of performance design, the small plastic waste shredder balances practicality and safety. The body is made of high-strength aluminum alloy or thin manganese steel, with a weight controlled between 50-200 kg, allowing for flexible movement to different work areas, even suitable for confined spaces such as family balconies and small warehouses. The blades are made of wear-resistant alloy steel, treated with high-frequency quenching; although smaller than heavy-duty equipment, their hardness still reaches HRC55 or higher, capable of handling most common plastics, and are easy to replace, resulting in low maintenance costs. Furthermore, the equipment features a simple operation panel equipped with an emergency stop button and overload protection, requiring no professional technicians; ordinary people can operate it after simple training, significantly lowering the barrier to entry.
From an application value perspective, the small waste shredder effectively fills the equipment gap in decentralized plastic recycling. At community recycling points, it can immediately shred and reduce the volume of plastic waste disposed of by residents, reducing transportation frequency and costs; in family-run recycling projects, it can quickly process scattered recycled plastics, improving sorting efficiency; in small recycling enterprises, it can serve as pre-treatment equipment, providing uniform raw materials for subsequent washing and granulation stages. Taking a community plastic recycling point as an example, after introducing a small shredder, the volume of plastic waste was compressed by 70%, reducing the transportation need from 3 times a week to 1 time, saving about 2,000 yuan in transportation costs per month. At the same time, the crushed plastic particles are easier to classify, and the recycling purity is increased to 92%, significantly improving recycling revenue.
