In the plastic processing industry, the plastic crusher is an indispensable piece of equipment. It can crush waste plastics, defective plastics, etc., providing convenience for subsequent processing and reuse. However, facing the numerous brands and models of plastic crushers on the market, how can we choose a suitable one? Here is a detailed introduction for everyone.
I. Clarify crushing requirements
First of all, you need to clarify your own crushing requirements. This includes the types of plastics to be crushed, the hardness of the plastics, and the required crushing particle size. Different plastics have different characteristics. Some plastics are relatively soft and easy to crush, while some plastics are relatively hard and require stronger crushing capabilities.
-
Determine the plastic type
Understand which type of plastic you want to crush, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc. Different plastics may have different performances during the crushing process, and you need to choose a crusher suitable for that plastic type. -
Consider the hardness of plastics
If the plastic to be crushed is relatively hard, you need to choose a plastic crusher with greater power and stronger cutters. Conversely, if the plastic is relatively soft, you can choose a crusher with a smaller power. -
Clarify the crushing particle size requirements
According to the needs of subsequent processing, determine the required crushing particle size. If you need to crush the plastic very finely, you need to choose a crusher with high-precision crushing function.
II. Choose the appropriate crushing method
The crushing methods of plastic crushers mainly include blade crushing and hammer crushing.
-
Blade crushing
The blade crusher cuts and crushes plastics through high-speed rotating blades. This crushing method is suitable for plastics with lower hardness and greater brittleness, and the crushed particle size is relatively uniform. -
Hammer crushing
The hammer crusher crushes plastics by impacting them with high-speed rotating hammers. This crushing method is suitable for plastics with higher hardness and greater toughness, and has a higher crushing efficiency.
