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 toughness. The problem was solved then he is still happy with the fixed crusher.

Understand your Requirement

Manufacturers need to have a clear goal for themselves. What is the production requirement? Do you have enough power supply to run all machines? Do the current materials smaller than your infeed hopper? For crushing large pieces or small edges?

When buying recycling equipment like an industrial shredder or plastic granulator, Wiscon recommends going for upsize and never downsize, unless you expect your business will not grow.

Wiscon suggests buying a bigger crusher because it allows you to process more different and bigger sizes of materials. It means to leave your recycling plant a bigger margin for unexpected materials like purgings and rolls of films. Of course, there are different series for different types such as pipes, plates, profiles and so on.

Recognize the Degree of Automation

In this era of automation, labour is undoubtedly the most expensive investment. Although recycling equipment investment incurs a large upfront cost, a smoothly running recycling system can at least save 1 labour per day. In a long term, that is saving more than $60,000 a year, assuming $200 a day for one labor.

A more advanced and automated workshop brings a reduced possibility of work injuries and reduced labour costs and higher productivity. Always keeps automation in mind. One-time investment may cause a lot for your recycling business at the beginning but it will be better off in a long term.

The Composition of Plastic Waste – Latest Analysis Year 2020

Image
  What source of the industry creates most of the plastic waste? There is a huge increase in plastic consumption in our daily lives. Plastic waste can be divided into commercial and industrial wastes. Many of these plastic products are single-used. That is, they are thrown away after one-time usage. For example, disposable plastic packaging, food container, cup, tablecloth and hand gloves are the regular items. The Composition of Plastic Waste: Pre-use and Post-use Plastic Other types of plastic waste include pre-use and post-use plastic. Pre-use plastic is mainly rejected products that do not meet the criteria in terms of size, colour, hardness and other properties. This also includes the byproducts like flesh and sprue during the process of plastic product manufacturing (e.g. molding, blow molding, thermal forming). Post-use plastics include plastic bottles, pails, casing; rigid plastics such as pipes and moldings, plastic foams or expanded polystyrene; and flexible plastics such as

What is ocean plastic pollution?

  Where does the plastic pollution in the ocean come from? What is ocean plastic pollution? Marine pollution is a combination of solid waste and chemicals that originate from the land. With the help of rainwater and wind, the pollutant is driven into the ocean. 3% of the worldwide plastic waste goes to the ocean according to the study. As more than 80% of the global plastic waste is not recycled, it is not surprising that abundant waste is accumulating in the ocean. In 2010, this was about 8 million tonnes. Before we dive into the question of where does ocean plastic waste comes from, we need to know about mismanaged plastics in the globe. The definition of mismanaged plastics is plastic waste that does not properly collect and recycle, instead, it ends up in landfills and scrap yard and directly pours into the river, lake and ocean. The graph shows more than half of the mismanaged stems from East Asia and the Pacific. The rest of the regions account for 40%. North America scores the l

3 Differences between One and Two Shaft Shredder

Image
  When choosing an industrial shredder, the first question lots of the customers ask is what is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder. One may not see the difference except their outlook, but they are very different in 3 points. In this article, we explain the differences between One shaft shredder and Two Shaft Shredder. Machine Structure Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft welded with rotary blades. The rotor a hydraulic-actuated pusher arm. and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. Its rotor consists of multiple disks of blades. The 2 rotors counter-rorate. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. Single Shaft Shredder Rotor Application Single Shaft Shredder  is suitable to process thick and solid materials such as molding purgings, runners, sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bon
