101 Guide: Proper Selection of Industrial plastic crushers

 Plastic crusher is mainly applicable for breaking down solid plastic so that the waste plastic can be easily and efficiently recycled without any inconveniences or unwanted hazards. Waste plastic materials include purgings, sprue, gates, reject.

Other than used for secondary size reduction, they’re also utilized to crush and clean material if add a water sprinkler system.

In this article, we show you how to choose plastic crushers.

1. How to Feed

There 3 ways of feed a crusher by hands, by conveyor and by forklift.

The latter 2 options concern machines so they can transport heavy materials in a bulk. Still, take special care of no metal can mix with the infeed materials.

Manual feed is direct and simple. With manual inspection, infeed materials usually can be sorted out metals. However, unlike machines, humans cannot lift heavy objects.

2. What are your materials?

Usually, a crusher cannot process metal-inclusive materials. Pure plastic and wood are ideal materials for plastic crusher. In some rare cases, hard plastics like PA(nylon) are too hard for a standard crusher. This requires a special rotor. Plastic film roll and raffia are not directly process by crusher, because they significantly decrease crusher output.

3. Output Size

Screen opening size determines output size. In general, the output size is around 10-12mm. If you want smaller, go for a plastic pulverized, which can further size reduce to 1-5mm.

For film and hard plastics, Wiscon offers a unique design. For other general plastics, a standard screen is sufficient.

4. How to Collect

Cyclone collection or conveyor? If your end products contain excessive powder, cyclone removes the powder and collect regrind. A metal detector in between crusher and cyclone can remove metals.

A conveyor is rarely used unless a second crushing is required.

Some other points regarding choosing a plastic crusher

Can crusher deal with the biggest lump size of this infeed substance?

Is your machine constructed with high-quality workmanship and materials?

Can the device’s functioning mechanism manage the properties of this substance: i.e. corrosive, hard, soft, abrasive?

Does the crusher need a conveyor?

Does it create excessive powder?

Can it be appropriate for your working conditions and temperature?

Can the device meet the need for the simplicity of maintenance and inside accessibility?

Conveyed, dropped or manually tossed?

Can the crusher fit the link settings?

Run with minimal vibration or noise?

How is the substance be transport and fed?

Are skilled field service and client services available from the provider?

Can the crusher create the output size required?

How to Choose Plastic Crusher Conclusion

In conclusion, plastic crusher model selection involves the ways of feed and collect materials, capacity, material composition and output size. How to choose a plastic crusher is not a challenge. All customers can follow this guideline to select an ideal machine for plastic recycling.

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
