  3 Major Factors to Think before Buying Plastic Crusher   September 13, 2020         News 3 Major Factors to Think before Buying Plastic Crusher. This article would save your time and money for your recycling business. Recognize the Brand. A good plastic crusher manufacturers often sell not just equipment, but the service, brand and reputation. The selection of materials and components of the equipment shall not be compromised, especially for the blade, bearings and chassis. A friend of mine bought an 800mm width plastic crusher to process large PP plastic lumps. Two weeks later, one bearing is out of order, then he called for help but the supplier refused to dispatch. In the end, he came for me and asked for service. Wiscon notices the problem was caused overheating of the bearing so we examed concentricity and replaced with a pair of NSK bearings, to change the original deformed bearing seat. Moreover, we welded 12 bars onto the machine chassis to enhance its rigidity and toughnes

  If you run a manufacturing business that do not recycle plastic yet, you are not protecting our environment by leaving a great carbon footprint. Why? Plastic waste problem is more severe than you think. To solve this problem, it is better think where to Buy Plastic Shredding Machine? Plastic Shredder for Recycling The more companies start recycling, the less wastes end up in landfills. In the plastic manufacturing business, every day a number of plastic products are being made. List a few: plastic containers, toys, straws and food wrap. The process of making them also generate byproducts such as prugings, flashes, and rejects. Needless to mention, plastic products are mostly single-use. Benefits of Plastic Shredder That is why many plastic manufacturing companies decide to use a  plastic shredder  to process plastic wastes. A shredding machine that turns big waste into smaller ones, smaller the better for recycling. Instead of throwing away recyclables, most plastic wastes like purgi

  How Does a Plastic Granulator Work? A  plastic granulator  is a machine that transforms large plastic objects like purgings, sprues and rejects into tiny granules by size reduction. They were introduced recently to recycle huge plastic waste and this has proven to be viable in the manufacturing industry. Plastic is used commonly by the mass for many reasons. It is reliable, stable cheap and long-lasting. Some of the disposable plastic goods are a nuisance because landfills are caused due to them. Plastic is good only when it is used as a medium of storage and housing. Plastic Crusher is Used for? Plastic crusher is a multipurpose material and many huge objects are made out of it. However, with the passage of time these objects get deteriorated or damaged due to overuse. It is time for them to be discarded and new ones to be brought into use. It is not advisable to discard large plastic goods because that will result in pollution and can cause global warming to take a hike. Therefore,

Industrial Shredder for Wood

 A wood shredder or woodchipper is an equipment used for eliminating wooden material into smaller pieces of wood. They can be used to cut through many types of wood, from hardwoods like oak and maple to softer woods such as pine or hickory. Woods are relatively easy to handle, however, woods are bulky before shredding. Usually, woods contain metal inside. wood shredder Wood Waste Shredder These machines were invented and developed for the first time in the 18 centries. At the time, the population did not have access to a large amount of lumber. Wood was not available in sufficient quantities to make good wood products, which is why wood chippers and shredders were invented. When a piece of wood was chopped down, it was usually too large for the tree it had been cut from. So, a truck shredder that can break down woods with the least dust and noise is best for the recycling business. The final products can be used in paper industry and fuel industry. Today, wood chippers and shredders ar

How to Categorize and Recycle Plastics

Image
Plastics are so common in your lives and you know it when you see it, yet you presumably can't find the difference among all plastic types. How to categorize and recycle plastics? For a beginner, there is no difference between HDPE and LDPE. Unless you work in the plastics recycling or plastics making industry. Plastic is one of the popular materials our clients want to process. It’s also the most complicated material to recycle because plastic wastes often come in a mixture and often is highly contaminated. Luckily, a product made of plastic is often stamped with a code, which is a number between one and seven inside a small triangle made of arrows. It’s the number inside the triangle that counts because each number corresponds to a different type of plastic. Follow this number, we can categorize plastic waste and make our recycling machines’ jobs easier. Because once the plastic waste is sorted, the rest of the job is size reduced by shredder and crusher, washed by friction washe

Tips on How to Choose a Plastic Shredder

  What is Plastic Shredder for? Industrial plastic shredders are a must-have tool in the waste and reusing industries. These devices are specially designed for destroying almost any kind of plastics, whether it is from small toys or heavy industrial materials. They come in various sizes and features, and can be classified into direct and rotating speed shredders, high torque shredders and even compact shredders. The purpose of all these is to shred any type of plastic in a very short span of time. Industrial plastic shredders have different characteristics that will help them shred different kinds of plastics and are useful in many ways. Some shredders shred plastic with their blades, while others shred plastics with their motor or through mechanical or electrical process. They all shared the same way but the type of plastic that they shreds can vary. Moreover, if you are going to buy a shredder, you should consider several important things like its features, capacity, weight, size, et

  Type of Material to be Processed This is the very first question to ask yourself: what are you processing? For example, mixed plastics are usually handled by a shredder . Pure Plastic rejects (from thermoforming or injection molding) are most often processed in a granulator/crusher . Nevertheless, a voluminous plastic, paper, wood, metal objects often go through a shredder first then granulating, aka, secondary size reduction. Rocks, glass and die-cast metal usually go into hammer mill or jaw crusher.   Desired Output Size Output size is usually determined by the screen or rotor width of shredders. Taking output size into account would land you in the specific category of shredders. Shredder generally produces irregular particles around 40mm (palm size), or stripes around 40-60mm long. Bigger the screen opening, the bigger the output size. Also, the output size affects the capacity of a shredder and succeeding workflow, which would be mentioned in the next section.   Capacity Capaci

 How to Do Granulator Maintenance for Beginner? Granulators are used for fine shredder a.k.a secondary shredding. It is important to size reduce materials to a smaller size like 5-20mm. Maintenance Today, Wiscon will briefly describe how to maintain a granulator for beginner and how to service a granulator. Locations Granulator should be installed in a well-ventilated position to ensure that the heat dissipation of motor and gear reducer. Lubrication Regularly fill bearings with lubricant to ensure the lubricity between bearings. Once the transmission oil is not clear or use over 3 months, we suggest changing oil. Drive Belts Regularly check whether the belt of the shredder is slack and tighten it in time. Tighten them in the first 24 hours of use. Blades Check the fastening screws of blades regularly. after 1 hour of using the new granulator, tighten the screws of the rotary knife and fixed knife to retain the blade and the knife frame. In order to ensure that the sharpness of the b

What is a plastic granulator?

  A plastic granulator is an efficient machine used for compact size reduction, an integral part in plastic recycling. Plastic granulators are able to break down plastic objects like plastic bottles, cans, and drums into uniform pieces known as ‹regrinds› or ‹flakes›. Plastic granulators have a large rotor, known rotary blades, that is mounted on a base rotor. It breaks up smaller pieces into larger ones. There are different ways that a plastic granulator can work. Some require more pressure while some rely more on the speed of the rotor. Plastic granulation requires a constant rotation of the drum on the base, which causes the plastic to break up. Since the plastic is broken into smaller pieces, it must be re-rolled into the next level of plastic recycling. Plastic granulating is more effective when it uses a dry crusher machine. In order to achieve the best results, plastic is mixed with a solvent before being broken down.   Plastic recycling programs use both types of plastic granul
