Choose a Plastic Shredder by Material and Output Requirement

Start with the material form, largest feed dimensions, contamination, required discharge size and downstream process. Motor power and cutting-chamber dimensions are reference specifications; they are not guaranteed throughput figures. AMIGE confirms hourly capacity only after reviewing representative material information or a material test.

Send material photos or samples, required kg/h and operating hours so the cutter, motor, screen and feeding system can be checked together.

How AMIGE Confirms Shredder Capacity and Output Size

Shredder capacity changes with material strength, bulk density, feed dimensions, cutter engagement, contamination, screen opening, reversal frequency and downstream restrictions. A preliminary model can be selected from the tables above, but the final kg/h figure requires project data.

  • Material: resin or waste type, rigidity, moisture, dirt, metal and other contamination.
  • Feed size: maximum length, width, thickness, diameter and piece weight.
  • Capacity: required kg/h, daily operating hours and peak loading condition.
  • Output: acceptable discharge range and whether a crusher, granulator, washing line or separator follows the shredder.
  • Site conditions: voltage, frequency, floor space, loading method and installation country.

Plastic Shredder FAQ

Should I choose a single-shaft or double-shaft shredder?

Choose a single-shaft shredder when rigid plastic requires a more controlled discharge through a screen. Choose a double-shaft shredder for high-torque primary reduction of bulky, irregular or mixed feed where coarse output is acceptable. Flexible film and nets may require a double-roll configuration designed to reduce wrapping.

What output size can a plastic shredder produce?

WPS single-shaft reference configurations use 30–80 mm or 30–120 mm screen ranges. WPT double-roll references use 50–100 mm screen openings. WT double-shaft machines do not use a sizing screen; output depends on cutter width, hook profile and the feed material. Final output size must be confirmed for the selected configuration.

What is the capacity in kg/h?

There is no responsible single capacity figure for a model without knowing the material and feed condition. Required kg/h is an RFQ input. AMIGE reviews the material, largest piece, bulk density, cutter, screen, feeding system and downstream equipment before confirming capacity.

Can one shredder process rigid plastic and film?

Not necessarily with the same rotor, cutter, screen and feeding arrangement. Rigid plastic and flexible film behave differently in the chamber. Send representative photos or samples so bridging, wrapping and screen-loading risks can be evaluated.

Can these machines shred tyres, metal or e-waste?

Some WT models can be assessed for tyres and selected metal-bearing or electronic scrap, but the material must be reviewed first. Batteries, pressurised vessels, explosive material, hardened steel and unknown hazardous feed must be removed. Cutter design, overload protection and downstream separation are project-specific.

When is a material test recommended?

A test is recommended when the feed contains reinforcement, mixed materials, flexible bundles, unusual contamination or an uncertain output requirement. Test results should record the material, feed size, cutter and screen configuration, observed throughput and discharge range.

What information is required for a quotation?

Provide material photos or video, composition, maximum feed dimensions and piece weight, contamination, required kg/h, target output size, operating hours, loading method, voltage and installation country.
