The plastic bag shredder is a machine specially designed to process plastic bags and films. Its main function is to efficiently and accurately crush waste plastic bags and film for subsequent washing or pelletizing.

The machine adopts a precise cutting mechanism, which can quickly cut the plastic bags into small pieces and improve the processing efficiency. The plastic film crusher is designed to be simple and easy to operate, users only need to put the plastic into the machine and start the equipment to complete the crushing process.

Raw Material For Plastic Film Crusher

Plastic film shredder machines are suitable for use with a wide range of plastic materials including, but not limited to, plastic film, PP non-woven bags, cement bags, waste agricultural and greenhouse film, industrial packaging film, and stretch film.

How Does The Plastic Bag Shredder Work?

The main internal structure of the plastic film crusher is composed of a feeding port, motor, special cutter, rotating shaft, discharge port, and shell body. Here is the working principle of a plastic bag shredder.

  • The material is fed from the conveying equipment into the crushing chamber of the crusher through the inlet.
  • In the working chamber of the plastic film shredder machine, the main body rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the motor and deceleration equipment, and the rotating shaft is mounted with fixed blades, so that the material is crushed through the torque force generated by the rotating shaft and the cutting ability of the knives, thus achieving the purpose of crushing.
  • Crushed plastic through the screen to the outlet, can not pass the screen particles, re-entering the crushing chamber for secondary crushing.
  • The crushed particles that pass through the screen are then fed into the storage bin through the outlet or can be fitted with a transfer device and fed into the plastic chips washing machine and plastic film granulator to be processed into plastic granules. The screen size of the plastic film crusher is usually 40-50 mm in diameter.

How To Recycle Plastic Film?

Shuliy Machinery offers complete PE PP film granulating lines to efficiently process waste plastic films and convert them into reusable pellets. Below are the steps of the entire recycling process:

  • Plastic Bag Shredder: Waste plastic film enters the plastic film crusher and is cut into small pieces.
  • Plastic Film Washing Machine: The cut small pieces of plastic film enter the plastic cleaning tank to remove impurities, dirt, etc. attached to the surface.
  • Plastic Film Scrap Dewatering Machine: The washed plastic film contains moisture, and to ensure the quality and stability of the final pellets, this wet plastic is de-watered using a plastic film scrap dewatering machine.
  • Plastic Film Granulator: Finally, the washed and dewatered plastic film fragments enter the plastic film granulator. Here they are heated, melted, and extruded from the pelletizer die into long plastic strips, which are then cooled and cured before being cut into small pellets by a plastic pellet cutting machine.
