Engineered for Profitability and Performance

Maximize Throughput

High-torque motors and V-cut technology process large volumes of bottles quickly, boosting your entire line's output.

Superior Blade Life

Utilizes premium DC53/SKD11 alloy steel, offering twice the toughness and wear resistance of standard blades.

Minimize Downtime

Designed for easy maintenance with external bearings and quickly replaceable wear plates and blades.

Turn a Bulky Problem into a Valuable Product

The Challenge of Whole Bottles

  • Whole bottles are bulky, costly to transport, and impossible to clean effectively.
  • Light-duty crushers jam, wear out quickly, and produce inconsistent, dusty flakes.
  • Frequent downtime for blade changes and maintenance hurts your bottom line.

The High-Performance Crusher Solution

  • Efficiently reduce bottle volume, preparing them perfectly for washing and increasing their value.
  • Our heavy-duty rotor and hardened blades power through material, producing clean, uniform flakes.
  • Robust construction and easy-access design ensure maximum uptime and a longer machine lifespan.

The 4-Step Crushing Process

1. Feeding

Baled or loose plastic bottles are fed into the crushing chamber via a conveyor belt.

2. Crushing

High-speed rotating blades work against stationary blades to shear and chop the bottles into small pieces.

3. Screening

A heavy-duty screen below the rotor allows only flakes of the desired size to pass through.

4. Discharge

Uniformly-sized flakes are discharged, ready for the next stage in the recycling line.

Engineered for Excellence

Heavy-Duty Rotor

A dynamically balanced, welded steel rotor ensures stable, vibration-free operation even with the toughest materials.

Precision Knife Blades

DC53 steel blades provide twice the toughness and superior wear resistance compared to standard D2/SKD11 for a clean cut and long life.

Reinforced Crushing Chamber

Welded with ultra-hard 40mm steel plate, the chamber is built to be wear-resistant and durable, handling demanding materials with ease.

Advanced Safety Controls

Equipped with motor overload protection and a safety limit switch that prevents startup unless the cover is 100% closed.

From Flakes to High-Value End Products

Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF)

Clean PET flakes are a primary raw material for producing fibers used in textiles, carpets, and stuffing.

PET Strapping

The high tensile strength of recycled PET makes it ideal for manufacturing durable packaging straps.

Bottle-to-Bottle Recycling

With further processing, high-purity flakes can be used to create new, food-grade PET bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of plastic can this crusher handle?
While optimized for PET and HDPE bottles, this versatile crusher can efficiently process other rigid plastics like PP containers, chemical barrels, and injection-molded parts with the correct screen configuration.
What is the final size of the crushed flakes?
The final flake size is determined by the interchangeable screen mesh. We offer various screen sizes, typically ranging from 10mm to 20mm, to meet the specific requirements of your downstream washing line.
Is this a 'wet' or 'dry' crusher?
This model is designed as a "wet" crusher. Water is continuously sprayed into the crushing chamber, which pre-cleans the flakes, cools the blades to extend their life, and reduces dust.
How long do the blades last and are they easy to change?
Blade longevity depends on the material, but our premium DC53 alloy steel offers exceptional durability. The machine is designed for quick blade access and changes, helping to minimize maintenance downtime.

What Our Clients Are Saying

We upgraded to this crusher six months ago and the difference is night and day. The throughput is incredible, and we've spent far less time on maintenance. The flake quality is also much more consistent.

Michael T.

Recycling Plant Manager

The heavy-duty construction is immediately obvious. This machine is built like a tank. It powers through baled bottles without any issues and has become the most reliable piece of equipment in our facility.

Elena Rodriguez

Operations Supervisor

The service and support were excellent. They helped us choose the right model and blade configuration for our material, and the easy-access design for maintenance has saved our team a lot of time.
