Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator is a machine that crushes hollow plastic bottles, such as HDPE milk bottles, PET beverage bottles, and Coke bottles, into small flakes or scraps that can be recycled or processed. LIANDA MACHINERY, a worldwide famous plastic recycling machine manufacturer specializing in waste plastic recycling machine and plastic dryer, created and built the equipment. The Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator has a particular knife holding construction that allows it to better cut hollow plastics during crushing, as well as a hydraulic open mechanism that makes blade sharpening easier. The Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator has a high output, uses little energy, and is of great quality. It is also good for secondary cutting when placed behind recycling system pre-shredders.

In this article, we will go over the entire product process of the Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator, including how it achieves high efficiency, low energy consumption, excellent quality, and ease of operation.

The Hopper and the Cutting Chamber

The plastic bottles are fed into the hopper, where they are caught by the rotating blades and brought into the cutting chamber, as the first stage in the product process. The hopper holds the plastic bottles and directs them to the cutting chamber. To improve feeding efficiency, the hopper can be adjusted based on the size and shape of the plastic bottles, and it can be equipped with a conveyor belt or a blower.

The cutting chamber is where the plastic bottles are cut into small flakes or scraps. The cutting chamber is divided into two sections: the upper and lower sections, which are hinged together and can be opened by a hydraulic system. The hydraulic system can additionally tilt the cutting chamber to make discharge of flakes or debris easier. The cutting chamber is made of strong welded steel and can endure the shock and pressure of the plastic bottles.

The Knife Holder and the Blades

The second phase in the product process is to cut the plastic bottles with a knife holder and blades capable of handling hollow plastics during crushing. The machine’s major cutting tools are the knife holder and the blades, which are positioned on the rotor and the lower half of the cutting chamber, respectively.

The knife holder is built with a hollow knife construction, which provides a larger cutting surface and greater cutting force for hollow plastics. The knife holder can double the output of the same type regular crusher and is suitable for both wet and dry crushing. The knife holder can also be tailored to meet specific material needs, and it has undergone extensive dynamic and static balance testing to ensure machine dependability.

The blades are constructed of high-quality materials such as 9CrSi, SKD-11, D2, or tailored to meet the needs of the customer. The blades are specifically treated to extend their operating time and increase their performance. The blades are also reversible and adjustable, which can help to extend their service life and prevent material waste. Because the blades have two cutting edges, they may be sharpened and adjusted several times.

The Screen and the Discharge

The third phase in the product manufacturing process is to discharge the crushed flakes or scraps via the screen, which may separate the qualified from the unqualified. The screen is the component that filters the flakes or scraps based on size and purity specifications. For convenient screen access, the screen incorporates a hinged screen cradle and a hinged door. The screen can also be replaced with different sizes and forms based on the needs of the customer. The screen can ensure that the finished goods are homogeneous and of high quality.

Qualified flakes or scraps meet the size and purity requirements and are collected by a blower or a conveyor belt for further processing or recycling. Unqualified flakes or scraps are those that do not fulfill the size and purity specifications, and they are returned to the cutting chamber for further crushing until they do.

The Advantages of Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator

Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator has numerous advantages over conventional plastic bottle crushing devices. Among the primary benefits are:

•  High efficiency: Thanks to the innovative knife holder design and the hydraulic open system, the Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator can enhance production capacity by two times over the old equipment. Because of the hollow knife structure and the tiny distance between the screen and the blade, the Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator may provide 20-40% greater output than normal rotor arrangements.

•  Low energy consumption: The hollow knife shape of the Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator reduces power consumption while providing a better quality cut and lower noise levels. The Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator can also save energy by employing a hydraulic open system, which makes blade sharpening easier and reduces labor intensity.

•  High quality: The Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator can generate high-quality, uniform flakes or scraps that match the clients’ size and purity standards. The Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator can also handle hollow plastics that other machines find difficult to crush, such as HDPE milk bottles, PET beverage bottles, Coke bottles, and so on.

•  Easy operation: Because of the hydraulic open system, the Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator can be easily operated with a single button or a remote control. The Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator can also be readily maintained by employing the external bearing seat, which prevents material from being crushed into the bearing and prevents oil and water from leaking from the bearing. The reversible and adjustable blades on the Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator may also be easily modified, extending their service life and reducing material waste.

Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator is a strong and effective machine that crushes plastic bottles into small flakes or scraps that can be reused or recycled. Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator boasts a one-of-a-kind design that includes a hollow knife structure and a hydraulic open mechanism, which can boost production capacity and product quality. The Plastic Bottle Crusher/ Granulator also consumes little energy, emits little noise, and is simple to use. It is a must-have piece of specialized machinery in the plastic bottle recycling and processing business. If you are interested, please contact us.
