How to choose the grinder you need?

1. Blade shredders:

Blade shredders operate by rotating blades at high speeds to cut plastic materials into smaller pieces. They are commonly used for thin and flexible plastic products like polyethylene (PE) films and polypropylene (PP) pipes. Blade shredders require adjustments in blade spacing and rotation speed to achieve the desired shredding effect.

2. Edge grinder:

The edge grinder, also known as an edge shredder, is a machine used to shred various materials, including plastics, into smaller pieces. It is specifically designed to process materials with irregular shapes or sizes, such as plastic edges or trims. The edge grinder typically operates by rotating a set of blades or cutters that crush and cut the materials. It is commonly used in industries such as plastic recycling or manufacturing, where the efficient shredding of plastic waste or production byproducts is required. The edge grinder facilitates the reduction of material size, making it easier for further processing or recycling.

3. Disc screen shredders:

Disc screen shredders utilize high-speed rotating discs to cut plastic products into small pieces. They are suitable for larger and harder plastic items like plastic barrels and sheets. The number of cutting blades and the disc speed can be adjusted to achieve the desired shredding effect.

When selecting the appropriate shredder, consider the type of plastic, size, hardness, and desired output size. It is important to follow certain conditions and guidelines for efficient operation. This includes maintaining appropriate feeding speed, shredding time, and other relevant parameters. Proper maintenance and upkeep are also necessary to ensure the shredder’s efficient operation and extend its lifespan.
