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.
