Equipment selection
Choose equipment for your material
An industrial plastic shredder reduces bulky plastic waste before further recycling. Amstar manufactures plastic shredder machines in China for plants worldwide, including single-shaft, double-shaft and integrated shredder-granulator systems. Start with the size and form of your scrap, then select the cutting system and feeding arrangement that suit your process.
Which plastic shredder fits your waste?
Compare single shaft plastic shredders and double shaft plastic shredders for your material and handling requirements. Rotor design, knife arrangement, screen configuration and feed control affect the result. The shaft count alone does not establish which machine will perform best for every waste stream.
For flexible scrap, review our plastic film shredders and feeding options. Pipes and profiles need a suitable infeed: see the plastic pipe shredder system and mobile pipe shredder. For rigid parts, drums, lumps or production scrap, send the maximum dimensions and wall thickness so the cutting chamber can be matched to the waste.
Shredding and granulation in one process
A shredder provides primary size reduction. Where the next stage needs smaller, more uniform regrind, an additional plastic granulator may be required. An all-in-one shredder granulator machine combines those stages. Read our plastic shredder vs granulator comparison before choosing a stand-alone machine or a connected system.
For film wrapping and hard plastic jams, our plastic shredder troubleshooting guide explains feeding, cutting and overload considerations. Maintenance planning should also cover knife access and replacement shredder blades.
