Industrial Plastic Shredder Machines for Recycling
Heavy-duty industrial shredders for film, pipe, rigid plastics, textiles, wood, metal and more. Start with your material below — we’ll match the right machine and capacity for your recycling line.
Shredding Is the First Step of a Complete Recycling Line
A shredder is typically followed by washing, separation, dewatering/drying, and pelletizing. If you’re planning a turnkey project, start with our line-level Recycling Solutions and we’ll configure the right shredder model as part of the full process.
What Are You Shredding?
Arrived from a general search like “plastic shredder” or “industrial shredder”? Pick your feedstock first. Each path opens the machine built for that material — not a one-size-fits-all generic unit.
Film, Raffia & Bags
PE/PP film, woven bags, soft packaging that wraps on standard rotors.
Film shredder →Pipes & Profiles

Crates, thick sheet, regrind lumps, dense injection scrap.
Rigid plastic shredder →Extruder Lumps & Purge
Head waste, purgings, thick start-up blocks from extrusion.
Lumps shredder →Textile, Carpet & Fibre

Single-Shaft Shredders
Screen-controlled chips for film, rigid plastics, textiles, wood and general recycling lines. Best when you need uniform output size.
Double-Shaft Shredders
High-torque primary shredding for bulky, tough or mixed feeds before secondary granulation.
Pipe Shredders (Fixed & Mobile)
Fixed systems can process HDPE, PVC, and PP; the mobile configuration is for HDPE and PP only.
Integrated Shredder-Granulator
One-step size reduction when you want shredding and granulating in a compact line footprint.

What Is a Plastic Shredder?
Working Principle
A single shaft shredder uses a rotating rotor fitted with cutting knives (moving knives) working against stationary knives (stator/fixed knives). A hydraulic pusher feeds material against the rotor, and a replaceable screen controls the final particle size. This design ensures steady throughput and uniform, controllable output.
At a Glance
- Uniform, controllable size with interchangeable screens
- Wide applicability: films, bags, pipes, profiles, lumps, wood, textiles
- Stable, safe operation with overload protection and low noise/dust

Solutions by Material
For Plastic Film & Woven Bags
Pain points: Soft, elastic materials tend to wrap on the rotor, causing blockages and low throughput.
Our solution: Anti-wrap cutter seats and V‑type rotor with optimized knife spacing prevent wrapping; large-diameter rotor and PLC auto‑reverse ensure continuous feeding and higher output.
Explore Film ShredderFor Plastic Pipes & Profiles
Pain points: Bulky, thick‑walled parts are hard to grip and feed; risk of stalling.
Our solution: Deep V feed hopper and powerful hydraulic pusher deliver steady bite; high‑torque gearbox and reinforced bearings handle start‑stop loads on thick sections. Choose a stationary HDPE pipe shredder for large-diameter plant lines, or a mobile pipe shredder for on-site processing.

For HDPE Lumps & Purgings
Pain points: Dense, impact‑intensive feed can shock the drivetrain and wear knives quickly.
Our solution: Heavy‑duty frame, high‑inertia rotor, wear‑resistant alloy knives, and smart overload/auto‑reverse logic sustain throughput while protecting the gearbox and motor.
Explore Lumps ShredderFor Textile & Carpet
Pain points: High‑tensile strength fibers easily entangle the rotor and jam standard shredders.
Our solution: Specialized rotor design with integrated fiber‑cutting technology and narrow clearances ensures precise shearing and prevents winding, maintaining high processing speed for even the toughest carpets.
