Granulator for Recycling WPC Material (Wood-Plastic Composite)
Granulators for Hard Plastics
The Power of the Right Shredder
A single-shaft shredder is the heart of your plastic recycling operation. It's the machine that transforms large, bulky waste into valuable, reusable raw material. But how do you find the perfect match for your business? This guide will help you get started.
Why Choose a Single-Shaft Shredder?
When you're serious about plastic recycling, efficiency and reliability are crucial. A single-shaft shredder is a standout in this regard. It's specifically designed to perform consistently, even with the most challenging materials.
Benefits
- High throughput capacity: Processes large volumes without clogging.
- Extremely versatile: Suitable for hard plastics, film, pipes, and more.
- Energy-efficient: Modern design minimizes power consumption.
- Robust and sustainable: Built for years of intensive use.
Considerations
- Initial investment: Quality requires a higher purchase price.
- Regular maintenance: Meters must remain sharp for optimal performance.
- Required space: Industrial machines require ample space.
Key Features: What to Look Out For
Not all shredders are the same. The details make the difference between a good and a great investment. Focus on these five points:
1. Rotor & Cutting Technique
The rotor is the heart of the machine. A larger diameter and strategically placed, hardened blades ensure powerful and efficient cutting.
2. Motor and Drive System
Motor power determines processing strength. A smart drive system ensures the perfect balance between raw power and low energy consumption.
3. Design of the Cutting Chamber
The size and shape of the chamber should match your material flow. A well-designed chamber prevents clogs and maximizes output.
4. Maintenance Ease
Downtime costs money. Choose a model where blades and other wear parts are easily accessible and replaceable.
5. Safety & Automation
Modern shredders feature smart PLC control. Think of automatic overload protection and an emergency stop for carefree and safe operation.
Comparison of Our Models
To give you an idea of the possibilities, see below an overview of our most popular models. The choice depends on your capacity needs and the type of material.
| Model | Rotor Ø (mm) | Capacity (kg/h) | Power (kW) | Cutting Chamber (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTM-2455 | 275 | ~300 | 22 | 780 × 550 |
| RTM-3063 | 275 | ~500 | 30 | 780 × 670 |
| RTM-3980 | 275 | ~700 | 37 | 1000 × 870 |
| RTM-48100 | 315 | ~900 | 45 | 1200 × 1060 |
| RTM-57120 | 315 | ~1200 | 55 | 1400 × 1260 |
| RTM-75160 | 350 | ~1500 | 75 | 1800 × 1650 |
How do you make the right choice? Ask yourself these questions:
1. What material will I primarily process?
Large, hard objects such as HDPE pipes require a larger feed chamber than, for example, plastic film.
2. How many kilograms per hour do I want to be able to process?
Choose a model with a capacity that matches your daily volume. Allow some extra margin for future growth.
3. What is my long-term budget?
Don't just look at the purchase price, but also consider energy consumption and maintenance costs. An efficient machine often pays for itself.
