Recycling of plastic involves the collection and grinding of already used (used) products, followed by the technological process of grinding. For these purposes, special grinders (shredders) are used. Industrial plastic shredders are a special kind equipment in which:
- Chopping is performed by knives (discs) mounted on the rotor and stator.
- The rotor is rotated by a drive connected to the motor shaft.
- The speed of rotation of the shafts is selected taking into account the type of plastic being processed.
The performance of plastic shredders depends on the volume of the working chamber in which the shredding takes place and the power of the power unit used. High-tech devices are equipped with an additional reverse gear to start the reverse rotation of the shafts with knives (discs). This allows the process to be carried out more qualitatively, obtaining crushed fractions of the same size at the output.
Classification of plastic shredders
Taking into account the technical characteristics of various types of plastic (strength, plasticity) and their structure (film, thin or thick-walled products), the type of equipment for grinding required for recycling is selected. The type of knives (compressing discs) is important, they are:
- Straight or oblique.
- Cascading or V-shaped.
At the same time, the speed of rotation of the shafts is additionally calculated, as well as the available working clearances between the coaxial parts of the rotor and stator for each type of raw material. That is why the customers of the Mirovoe oborudovanie company, which supplies shredders for shredding plastic, have the opportunity to test the selected model. The customer only needs to provide the source material (the plastic to be shredded). A trial run will be conducted online or in the presence of the buyer, which will allow him to accurately determine the choice of suitable equipment.
All shredders presented in the World Equipment catalog fully comply with the declared technical parameters. They are available in stock, have all the necessary equipment for quick installation and operational start-up.
