2T/H Plastic Water Bottle Crusher in Vietnam

Customer Profile and Equipment Selection

The client is a plastic recycling operator specializing in post-consumer PET bottle recovery. Their operations involve:

• Collecting used plastic bottles from municipal waste streams, commercial suppliers, and recycling collection points
• Sorting and cleaning bottles to remove contaminants
• Reducing the size of bottles to uniform fragments for easier handling and downstream processing

Given a processing capacity requirement of around 2 tons per hour, the SSJ1000 plastic water bottle crusher was selected. This model was chosen because its dual-rotor system and heavy-duty build can efficiently handle both rigid and thin-walled plastic bottles without frequent downtime.

Technical Specifications of SSJ1000

• Power: 37 kW × 2 motors
• Rotor diameter: 400 mm
• Blade material: 55CrSi alloy steel, precision machined and forged
• Customizable number of blades and teeth to match material characteristics
• Machine dimensions: 3900 × 1800 × 2200 mm

This configuration ensures reliable performance, allowing the plant to achieve consistent output size and high throughput for its recycling processes.

Raw Materials and Local Processing Requirements

The facility handles:

• Post-consumer PET water bottles collected from urban centers and retail chains
• Thin HDPE bottles, sometimes blended with PET in mixed streams
• Irregular-shaped waste, including crushed, flattened, or partially compacted bottles

The SSJ1000 plastic water bottle crusher in Vietnam allows the facility to achieve a uniform fragment size of approximately 3 cm, ideal for:

1. Pellet production: Crushed PET is washed, dried, and converted into pellets for manufacturing secondary plastic products such as trays, packaging, and non-food-grade containers
2. Industrial applications: Some fragments are used in composite plastic products for construction and furniture industries
3. Optimized storage and transport: Smaller, uniform fragments reduce space requirements and improve handling efficiency

Operational Advantages and Workflow Integration

The SSJ1000 plastic water bottle crusher in Vietnam was integrated seamlessly into the facility’s workflow:

• Feeding mechanism: Can process bottles manually loaded or via conveyor
• Crushing efficiency: Dual heavy-duty rotors with replaceable forged blades reduce downtime
• Safety and reliability: Automatic overload protection and reverse rotation prevent motor damage when encountering hard objects
• Output consistency: Crushed fragments of uniform size ensure smooth pelletizing and washing operations

Key operational benefits include:

• High efficiency in reducing irregularly shaped plastics to 3 cm fragments
• Durable construction for long-term operation with minimal deformation
• Reduced maintenance and operating costs due to sealed bearings and robust rotor design
• Enhanced safety through automatic overload protection

Shipping and Logistics

The SSJ1000 plastic water bottle crusher machine was shipped from China to Hai Phong Port, Vietnam. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive installation guidance, commissioning support, and operator training, allowing the client to quickly integrate the crusher into their facility and commence operations without delay.

Versatility and Technical Features

The SSJ series plastic water bottle crusher in Vietnam is multi-purpose, adaptable machines suitable for:

• Plastic recycling: PET, HDPE, PP bottles, and irregular packaging
• Industrial waste processing: Light composite materials, mixed packaging, and containers
• Pre-processing for pelletizing: Preparing raw materials to uniform sizes for downstream processing

Key technical highlights of SSJ1000:

• Heavy-duty thickened housing with CO₂-protected welds and stress-relieved annealing
• Hexagonal rotor with replaceable, forged alloy steel blades for extended life and easy maintenance
• Sealed bearings resistant to dust and water for stable operation
• Automatic overload reverse function for motor protection

The client chose this plastic water bottle crusher due to its reliability, efficiency, and ability to handle irregularly shaped plastics without frequent downtime.

Customer Feedback and Operational Results

After one month of operation, the facility reported:

• Processing capacity: 2–2.5 tons per hour of mixed PET and HDPE bottles
• Output uniformity: Crushed fragments approximately 3 cm in size
• Maintenance efficiency: Hexagonal rotor and durable blades reduced time spent on replacements
• Enhanced safety and reliability: Automatic overload reverse prevented any motor damage

A production manager commented: “The SSJ1000 has dramatically improved our pre-processing workflow. Its crushing efficiency is excellent, and the support from RICHI Machinery during installation and training was outstanding. We can now process more material with fewer operational issues.”
