This machine is purpose-built for recycling oversized HDPE/PE pipes where manual pre-cutting is unsafe and inefficient. With a wide horizontal infeed and PLC-controlled hydraulic pusher, it grips thick-walled pipes reliably and delivers stable, uniform chips for washing and extrusion lines.
Applications & Material Fit
Designed specifically for oversized thermoplastic pipes where conventional shredders struggle with feeding stability and wall thickness.
Materiales Soportados
HDPE / PE large-diameter pipes, thick-walled pipe scrap, long pipe sections, and bundled pipe offcuts. PVC can be processed, but for high-throughput PVC recycling we recommend dedicated granulation systems.
Accepted Pipe Forms
Straight pipes, short sections, and loose bundles. Horizontal infeed allows whole pipes to be loaded directly without manual pre-cutting.
Typical Feed Conditions
Handles dirty or slightly contaminated pipe waste. For metal inserts or heavy sand content, upstream inspection or magnetic separation is recommended to extend blade life.
Why Choose Our Pipe Crusher?
No Pre-Cutting Needed
Designed with an extra-wide chamber and horizontal infeed to handle full-length pipes up to 6000mm+ and diameters up to 1200mm directly.
Powerful Tearing Action
Equipped with high-torque rotors and hardened alloy steel blades that effectively tear through thick-walled HDPE pipes with ease.
Automatización inteligente
Features a PLC-controlled hydraulic pusher system that automatically adjusts feeding speed to prevent jams and ensure continuous operation.
Engineered for Large Pipes
Seguridad Mejorada
Horizontal loading eliminates the risks associated with manual cutting and vertical feeding of heavy, unstable pipes.
Consistent Granule Size
Screen-controlled discharge ensures uniform particle size, making the material perfect for downstream washing and extrusion.
High Durability
Robust structural design with wear-resistant components ensures a long service life even under heavy-duty continuous operation.
Key Engineering Components
Hydraulic Ram Feeding
A PLC-controlled hydraulic pusher continuously presses pipes into the rotor, preventing material bridging and idle running while maintaining stable cutting load.
High-Torque Rotor & Blades
Low-speed, high-torque rotor geometry combined with hardened alloy steel blades delivers aggressive tearing of thick walls while minimizing current spikes.
Adjustable Counter Knives
Precision-set stationary knives optimize shearing efficiency and can be re-adjusted as blades wear, extending service intervals.
Hydraulic Opening Hopper
The feed box opens hydraulically for fast access during maintenance and blade changes, reducing downtime.
Screen-Controlled Discharge
Interchangeable screens define final chip size and ensure consistent output for downstream washing or extrusion.
Solving Large Pipe Recycling Challenges
Common Issues
- Manual cutting of large diameter pipes is slow, costly, and dangerous.
- Standard shredders struggle to grip and fracture thick-walled HDPE material.
- Uneven shredding leads to jams and poor quality output for pelletizing.
Our Solution
- Large horizontal hopper accepts whole pipes, eliminating manual prep work.
- Specialized rotor geometry provides the aggressive torque needed for quick tearing.
- Automated load sensing prevents overfeeding and ensures uniform chip production.
Processing Flow & Line Integration
1. Whole Pipe Loading
Long or oversized pipes are placed directly into the horizontal feeding trough by forklift or crane.
2. Controlled Hydraulic Feeding
The hydraulic ram advances automatically, adapting feed speed to rotor load and preventing overload or jamming.
3. Shredding / Tearing
High-torque blades tear thick-walled pipes against counter knives, rapidly reducing them into uniform chips.
4. Downstream Processing
Material exits through the screen and can be conveyed to secondary crushing, washing lines, or extrusion pelletizing systems.
Typical recycling lines combine this pipe shredder with conveyors, secondary granulators, washing systems, and pelletizing units to form a complete HDPE pipe recycling solution.
