This is a project about tin cans and plastic bottle crushers in the Philippines. A medium-sized recycling plant, specializing in metal and plastic recovery, decided to upgrade its crushing capabilities to address the increasing volume of irregularly shaped waste.

This is a project about tin cans and plastic bottle crushers in the Philippines. The Philippines is facing a growing challenge with urban waste management, particularly in densely populated cities such as Manila and Cebu. The combination of high consumption of canned goods and bottled beverages results in a large volume of tin cans and plastic bottles that require efficient processing for recycling.
A medium-sized recycling plant, specializing in metal and plastic recovery, decided to upgrade its crushing capabilities to address the increasing volume of irregularly shaped waste. The client purchased a single RICHI SSJ1200 tin can and plastic bottle crusher machine to handle this task. Unlike acquiring a full-scale recycling line, this investment was focused on a standalone, high-capacity crusher that could complement their existing sorting and washing facilities, providing a cost-effective solution for preliminary size reduction.
The main goal was to process collected waste into smaller fragments, approximately 3 cm in size, enabling better handling for subsequent recycling stages such as pelletizing for plastics and compacting for metals.

The client is a recycling facility that collects tin cans from beverage companies and plastic bottles from municipal waste streams. Their operation focuses on:
Considering the facility’s processing needs of around 2–3 tons per hour, the SSJ1200 tin can and plastic bottle crusher machine was selected. Its robust design and dual-rotor system provide sufficient power for medium to heavy-duty crushing tasks.
This configuration was chosen to efficiently process both soft and rigid metals and plastics, offering flexibility for a variety of waste materials.
The facility primarily handles:
The crushed output is used for:
The SSJ1200 tin can and plastic bottle crusher in Philippines allows the plant to achieve a uniform fragment size of approximately 3 cm, optimizing efficiency in downstream processing while minimizing bottlenecks.
The SSJ1200 tin can and plastic bottle crusher in Philippines integrates seamlessly into the client’s workflow:
Key advantages include high reliability, low maintenance, and durable performance, making it ideal for mixed material streams. The hexagonal rotor ensures uniform pressure and reduces the risk of blockages, while the robust housing and reinforced structure maintain stability over long operational periods.
The SSJ1200 tin can and plastic bottle crusher machine was shipped from China via sea freight to Manila International Container Port. RICHI Machinery provided full installation support, commissioning guidance, and operator training, ensuring rapid deployment and immediate operation.
The SSJ series crusher machines are highly versatile, suitable for:
Technical highlights include:
The client chose this tin can and plastic bottle crusher in Philippines due to its durability, flexibility, and strong performance under mixed-material conditions.
After installation, the facility reported:
A site manager noted: “The SSJ1200 has exceeded our expectations. It’s powerful, easy to operate, and significantly improves our processing efficiency. RICHI’s support team guided us through installation and training, making the transition smooth and effective.”
