In plastic recycling, the crushing of large, hard plastic materials such as sprue, gate residues, and thick-walled blocks has always been a bottleneck. These materials are large in size, high in hardness, and tough in texture, making traditional twin-shaft or hammer-type equipment prone to jamming, uneven particle size, and excessive dust.
Recently, one of our European customers faced such a challenge. They needed a compact machine capable of crushing plastic sprue materials to 40mm in a single pass. To meet their requirements, we recommended our GSS Series Single-Shaft Shredder, which is perfectly suited for their needs.
Why Choose the GSS Single-Shaft Shredder?
1. Built-in Horizontal Hydraulic Pusher for Easy Feeding
The GSS Single-Shaft Shredder is equipped with an intelligent horizontal hydraulic pusher that uniformly and continuously feeds and compacts materials toward the rotor. This prevents materials from idling in the crushing chamber, ensuring full contact with the rotor and significantly improving shredding efficiency.
2. High-Speed Rotor for Powerful Shearing & Crushing
The machine features a high-speed rotor design combined with replaceable wear-resistant blades and adjustable stationary blades. Together with the compacting effect of the pusher, it enables efficient shearing and shredding of hard materials like plastic sprue, ensuring thorough crushing and uniform particle size.
3. Hydraulic One-Touch Screen Opening for Controlled Discharge
The discharge screen can be opened hydraulically with a single touch, making operation simple and maintenance easy. By adjusting the screen aperture, different particle sizes can be achieved, facilitating subsequent conveying, cleaning, or pelletizing processes.
4. Compact Structure & Stable Operation
The machine adopts a modular design, integrating the hydraulic feeding system and crushing system into one unit. It is equipped with an intelligent control and monitoring system for easy operation and stable performance.
In addition to plastic sprue, the GSS Single-Shaft Shredder can also process various thick-walled plastic sheets, plastic barrels, rock wool insulation materials, rubber products, and other tough materials.
