What is plastic crushing?

Plastic crushing refers to the process of transforming plastic products into small particles or small pieces of material through a series of processing methods. The purpose of this process is to transform waste plastics with complex shapes and varying sizes, especially bulky waste products, into materials that are easy to recycle or further film mold.

The principle of plastic crushing

Plastic crushing is mainly achieved through shear and friction. During the crushing process, various types of crushing machinery are used to apply different mechanical forces to the material, such as tensile force, extrusion force, impact force, and shear force, in order to reduce the material size to the desired size.

Methods for crushing plastics

At present, commonly used plastic crushing methods include mechanical crushing, thermal crushing, and chemical crushing. Among them, mechanical crushing is the most common method, which uses crushing machinery to physically crush plastic products without adding other chemicals, and has the characteristics of environmental protection and high efficiency.

The purpose of plastic crushing

The crushed plastic material has a wide range of uses. Firstly, it can be used as a production raw material directly for extruders to manufacture new plastic products such as toys, tableware, household items, etc. Secondly, the crushed plastic particles can also be used to produce recycled plastic particles, which can be further processed into various plastic products. In addition, the crushed plastic can also be used in fields such as road construction and soil improvement to achieve resource recycling.

Characteristics of plastic crusher

Plastic crusher is a key equipment for achieving plastic crushing. It adopts alloy steel blades, which have the characteristics of long service life, easy maintenance and cleaning. At the same time, the plastic crusher also adopts a separation design, with low noise and easy movement, which can meet the crushing needs of different occasions.

Regeneration and utilization after crushing

• Manufacturing recycled plastic pellets: Clean, dry, and melt the crushed plastic pellets, and then extrude them into recycled plastic pellets. These particles can be reused as raw materials to manufacture various plastic products, such as packaging materials, furniture, building materials, automotive parts, etc.
• Direct reuse: In some cases, broken plastic fragments or particles can be directly used in specific manufacturing processes, such as injection molding or blow molding, to produce new products.

In summary, plastic crushing is an important process for converting waste plastic products into reusable resources. By crushing and processing, waste plastics can regain their value, achieving the dual goals of resource recycling and environmental protection.
