PET Bottle Crushing Machine

The PET bottle crushing machine is a piece of equipment specifically designed to crush and process discarded PET bottles, a common type of plastic bottle used to package beverages, food, and other liquid products. A PET bottle crusher cuts discarded PET bottles into small pieces or shards through mechanical force, making them easier to clean and reprocess at a later stage.

Our PET bottle crusher machine is made of high-quality steel, with sharp and durable blades and sturdy structure, which can run stably for a long time. Its design focuses on easy operation and maintenance, ensuring that users can easily use and maintain the equipment.

Raw Materials And Finished Products

The raw material for PET bottle crushing machines is waste PET bottles which can be empty bottles from various consumer products such as beverages, food, detergents, etc. PET bottles usually have a transparent, semi-transparent, or colored appearance, and they are collected and sorted before being fed into the PET shredder machine for processing.

The finished product of the PET bottle crushing machine is PET plastic chips, PET plastic chips usually have irregular shapes and sizes, they are processed by the crusher, and can be used for recycling, such as as raw materials for the manufacture of new PET bottles, textiles, building materials and so on.

Structure of PET Bottle Crushing Machine

PET shredder machine usually consists of main components such as a feed inlet, cutting tool, rotor, screen, reducer, motor, discharge port, and body. These components work together to enable discarded PET bottles to be processed through cutting, crushing, and screening, ultimately transforming them into renewable PET plastic fragments.

How Does The PET Bottle Crusher Works?

Plastic bottle crusher machine works by utilizing mechanical force to cut and crush waste PET bottles into small pieces or fragments. Its working process usually includes the following steps:

• Feed: Waste PET bottles are put inside the plastic bottle crusher machine through the feed opening. These bottles may be pre-treated, such as removing labels, caps, and other debris, for better subsequent shredding.
• Crushing: After the PET bottle enters the machine, the rotor begins to rotate, driving the knives mounted on it to perform cutting and crushing operations. The knives rotate at a high speed and cut the PET bottles into small pieces or fragments.
• Screening: The crushed PET chips are passed through a screen, which serves to ensure that only PET plastic chips of the right size pass through.
• Discharge: The screened PET bottle flakes are discharged from the PET bottle crushing machine through the outlet or into the next recycling step.
