In today’s fast-growing plastic recycling industry, the performance of shredding equipment directly impacts both the quality and cost-efficiency of resource recovery. Facing a wide range of plastic waste—from soft packaging films to hard and thick materials—many traditional shredders fall short due to limited adaptability, high energy use, and complex maintenance.
Leveraging years of experience in solid waste processing, GEP ECOTECH introduces the GS Series Single-Shaft Shredder, designed to offer high-efficiency, low-maintenance plastic shredding—an ideal upgrade or replacement solution for aging or underperforming machines.
Key Features
Hydraulic Pusher System for Smooth Feeding
The GS shredder includes an advanced hydraulic pusher to assist material entry into the shredding chamber—essential when handling bulky, high-density plastics. This system reduces the need for manual intervention, improves throughput, and ensures stable performance under tough conditions.
Customizable Output Size with Quick-Swap Screen
Equipped with an adjustable screen system, the GS shredder allows precise control over discharge size based on your production needs. The hydraulic screen lift makes size changeovers fast and easy—minimizing downtime and supporting diverse recycling applications.
High-Strength Cutter System for Demanding Materials
The cutter (blade) assembly is made from wear-resistant alloy steel, heat-treated for extra durability. It’s built to process a wide variety of rigid or tough plastic materials. The modular cutter system is also easy to maintain and replace, perfect for users seeking a robust alternative to worn-out components in their existing shredder.
Smart Control for Safer, Lower-Cost Operation
With an intelligent PLC system, the GS shredder offers features like automatic lubrication, load monitoring, and overload protection. This reduces manual maintenance, enhances equipment lifespan, and ensures long-term, stable operation—whether you’re upgrading from a less advanced shredder or expanding your current line.
Application Scenarios
Plastic Bottles, Films, FIBC/Jumbo Bags
The GS series can efficiently shred various plastic packaging waste into uniform chips for granulation and pelletizing—ideal for producing recycled pipes, sheets, and films. Its strong cutter-shaft combination ensures clean cuts even with thick-walled FIBC bags or bundles.
Industrial Plastic Scrap
Suitable for direct feeding of rejected sheets, trimmings, or leftover parts from injection or extrusion processes. Shredded materials can be directly reintroduced into production, maximizing yield and reducing overall waste.
Mixed Material Waste (Plastic-Rubber-Metal)
Mixed or contaminated plastics (e.g. rubber-plastic blends or plastic-metal laminates) can be shredded for RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) production, used in cement kilns or boilers—achieving both economic and environmental value.
