About this video

This video shows a Gangsu plastic crusher processing PE buckets. The crusher cuts material between rotating and fixed knives and keeps it in the chamber until the pieces can pass through the screen.

Buckets, bottles and other rigid containers of manageable size can often be crushed directly, without a shredder. The crushed material is then ready for washing or pelletizing.

Key points

  • Rigid PE buckets crushed in one step
  • Moving knives cut against fixed knives
  • The screen controls the output size
  • Output ready for washing or pelletizing

Questions buyers ask

Can whole PE buckets go into a crusher?

Medium-size buckets usually can. For very large or thick-walled containers, a shredder in front of the crusher keeps feeding stable.

What sets the size of the crushed pieces?

Mainly the screen opening, together with knife sharpness and how long material stays in the cutting chamber.
