About this video

This video shows a Gangsu crusher processing PE buckets. Rigid containers such as buckets are cut between rotating and fixed knives until the pieces are small enough to pass through the screen.

The crushed PE is then ready for washing and pelletizing. For very large or thick items, a shredder can be installed before the crusher to stabilize feeding.

Key points

  • PE buckets reduced to screen-controlled pieces
  • Rotating knives cut against fixed knives
  • Prepares rigid PE for washing
  • A shredder can be added for very bulky items

Questions buyers ask

Wet or dry crushing for PE buckets?

Wet crushing keeps knives cooler and starts the washing; dry crushing suits clean material. Both are available.

When is a shredder needed before the crusher?

When buckets or containers are very large or thick-walled. The shredder cuts them down so the crusher is fed evenly.
