Plastic Shredding Machine

A plastic shredder is a machine used to cut plastic into smaller pieces for granulation. Unlike plastic granulators, shredders are designed specifically for larger plastic waste, like car bumpers, pipes, drums, and other items too big for granulators. In the process, large plastic items are fed into the shredder.The shredding process produces a free flowing material ideally suited to subsequent pre-melting processes such as magnetic separation, heavy media separation or de-coating.
