Significant Differences Of Plastic Shredders And Plastic Crushers

Plastic shredders and plastic crushers are widely used in the field of plastic waste treatment, but they have significant differences in many aspects. This article will focus on the differences between the two devices from five aspects: working principle, application field, processing capacity, use effect, and maintenance and care.

1. Working principle of Plastic shredders and plastic crushers 

Plastic shredder: It mainly uses the principle of shearing and tearing to tear large or irregular plastic waste into smaller pieces. The shredder is usually equipped with sharp blades or teeth, which crush the material through high-speed rotation or reciprocating motion.

Plastic crusher: It mainly crushes plastic through extrusion, shearing and impact. There are crushing chambers and crushing knives inside the crusher. When the plastic enters the crushing chamber, it is sheared and impacted by the knives, and is broken into smaller particles.

2. Application field of Plastic shredders and plastic crushers 

Plastic shredder: It is more used to deal with large, heavy or difficult-to-crush plastic waste, such as waste furniture, plastic barrels, large plastic packaging, etc.

Plastic shredder: It is more commonly used to process smaller and thinner plastic waste, such as plastic bottles, plastic films, plastic pipes, etc.

3. Processing capacity of Plastic shredders and plastic crushers 

Plastic shredder: Since it mainly processes large materials, its processing capacity is relatively large and it can process larger plastic waste.

Plastic shredder: Since it processes smaller materials, its processing capacity is relatively small, but its crushing efficiency is high, which is suitable for processing a large amount of small plastic waste.

4. Use effect of Plastic shredders and plastic crushers 

Plastic shredder: The size of the shredded material is relatively large, and the degree of crushing is low, but it is more conducive to subsequent crushing or reuse.

Plastic shredder: The size of the shredded material is small, and the degree of crushing is high, which can be directly used in the production of recycled particles or other reuse fields.
