PET bottle crusher is a kind of equipment that processes plastic products into flakes by cutting, impacting and shearing. Its working principle is based on the action of mechanical force to physically crush waste plastics for subsequent reprocessing treatment.

Cutting tool set and motor drive

The core components of the plastic crusher include the electric motor and the cutter set.

The motor drives the knife set, which usually consists of fixed knives and movable knives, to rotate at high speed to cut the plastic products. When the plastic product enters the machine hopper, through the action of the transmission system, the knife set begins to operate at high speed and make the initial cutting of the PET bottles.

Cutting, impact and shearing process

Under the high-speed rotation of the knife group, the plastic PET bottles are first cut into small pieces by the blade.

Subsequently, the impact force generated by the cutting and the shearing effect of the tool set further breaks the plastic into smaller particles.

Throughout the process, cutting, impact and shearing are synchronized to ensure that plastic products can be crushed quickly and efficiently.

Screen controls the pulverizing effect

The crushed plastic particles will enter the screen inside the PET bottle crusher. The aperture of the screen determines the final size of the crushed material.

Larger particles are blocked by the screen and continue to be pulverized inside the machine until the particle size meets the requirements. The final particle size can be flexibly controlled by replacing the screens with different apertures.

Transmission system and pulverizing efficiency

The transmission system transfers the power from the motor to the knife set through pulleys and other devices. This ensures that the blades rotate at high speed.

A good transmission system can stably maintain the efficient operation of the PET bottle shredder, thus ensuring the rapid pulverization of materials.

Summarize

The PET bottle crusher drives the cutter set through the electric motor to cut, impact and shear the bottled plastics, and finally pulverize them into desired granules.

The screen further controls the particle size and the transmission system ensures the efficient operation of the machine. Thus, the plastic pulverizer realizes an efficient and controllable plastic pulverizing effect.
