Equipment selection
Choose equipment for your material
Plastic size reduction equipment prepares bulky waste and production scrap for downstream recycling. Amstar manufactures shredders, granulators and integrated systems in China. Select the process according to the material dimensions, feeding conditions and required output size.
Choose between shredding and granulation
A plastic shredder provides primary size reduction for suitable bulky parts, film, pipes and lumps. A plastic granulator cuts feedstock into smaller, more uniform flakes or regrind. Some materials need both stages. An integrated shredder granulator combines them within one system.
Read the shredder vs granulator comparison for selection guidance. Avoid choosing only by motor power or nominal capacity: part dimensions, wall thickness, feed consistency and contamination also affect the cutting task.
Connect size reduction to the recycling line
Check what the next stage requires. A washing line needs suitable material flow, while an extrusion process needs prepared feedstock that can enter consistently. Include conveyors, discharge handling, knife access and replacement blades in the equipment discussion. Browse the machines below or send Amstar material photographs, maximum input dimensions and your target regrind size.
