How to make plastic size-reduction for recycling

The overall goal of most plastic recycling programs is to turn scrap and non-conforming parts back into a similar size and form to the virgin material being processed. This “regrind” will often have the proper material characteristics, such as strength or optical qualities, to be blended with the original resin. This can then be reused to make more parts. It’s both cost efficient and environmentally friendly.

PLASTIC SHREDDER

WANROOETECH Plastic Shredders are used for large or very dense parts. They can shred large items into 2" to 4" pieces and are suitable for a variety of materials. The plastic shredder reduces the time and effort required to shred large parts to prepare for pelleting. Previously, this was done manually. Like pelletizers, plastic shredders have multiple technology options and are best suited for any given application.

PLASTIC CRUSHER

WANROOETECH plastic granulator or crusher is very effective for post-processing of gates, runners and small and medium-sized parts. They usually produce 1/8" to 3/4" size particles, although most particles are between 1/4" to 3/8". Granulators are most commonly found near injection molding machines, but can also be used with other processes such as extrusion, blow molding and thermoforming. Three common types of granulators are: Central and special units mainly used for thermoforming in addition to presses. However, there are more granulator technology options to customize the unit to suit any broad or specific application.
