Why Do You Need Size Reduction Line?

 By executing a complete shredder/granulator system that conveys the plastic waste from a conveyor to a shredder to a metal separator to the granulator and to a cyclone collection, a simple Size Reduction Line can ease lots of work when crushing materials.

​

Shredder Applications

Wiscon plastic Size Reduction system can be used for plastic such as:

Poly Ethylene (PE)

Polyamide (PA)

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

Polycarbonate (PC)

Thermoplastic polyesters (PET/PBT)

Polyacetals (POM)

HDPE (High-Density Poly Ethylene)

LDPE LLDPE  (Low-Density Poly Ethylene, Linear low-density polyethylene)

PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate)

 

Shredder Machine

A shredding machine processes metal contaminates and foreign objects more efficient than a granulator and costs less to repair. End-user can usually replace the single knife that is damaged for a small cost and much quicker than replacing the entire set of blades or rotors of a Wiscon granulator.  And, you can usually operate the shredder for a longer period of time with a single damaged knife.

By shredding the waste or recyclable materials, firstly one can detach the metal from large parts of the plastic making it easier to be separated. The smaller pieces from the shredder that feed into the granulator create less wear on the granulator components. In between, there is a metal detector or cross belt magnetic separator that removes the medium size of metals.

Crusher Machine

If you put metal-contaminated recyclables directly into your granulator, you can easily destroy granulator blades and crushing chamber. You then need to replace the entire set of blades or have them be sharpened or replacing inner wearing plates.  A large enough piece of metal can cause damage to the rotor or shaft which will be costly in both time and money. A new rotor is expensive and it takes time for even the best repair shops to repair.

Size Reduction System

A Size Reduction system is an expansive upfront and more involved to set up but if continual output, ease of use and versatile application are your main concerns, you shall talk with us. At Wiscon, we provide a full line of granulators, grinders, and shredders feature various models.

Here is a size reduction line/plastic recycling line of a working plastic recycling line.

In the long term, Wiscon makes your return worthwhile and makes profits quick.

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
