This is a project about a water bottle crusher machine in Indonesia. A medium-scale recycling facility located near Surabaya, specializing in post-consumer plastic recovery, decided to expand its capabilities in preliminary crushing to better manage irregularly shaped plastic waste.
This is a project about a water bottle crusher machine in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the largest consumers of single-use plastics in Southeast Asia, generating a tremendous amount of PET bottle waste annually.
A medium-scale recycling facility located near Surabaya, specializing in post-consumer plastic recovery, decided to expand its capabilities in preliminary crushing to better manage irregularly shaped plastic waste. The client sought to reduce PET bottles, detergent containers, and other non-uniform plastic packaging into smaller fragments of around 3 cm, making them suitable for secondary processing into pellets or composite materials.
After extensive research, the facility opted to purchase a single RICHI SSJ1000 water bottle crusher machine. Rather than investing in a complete recycling production line at this stage, the client required a standalone, robust crusher capable of handling higher volumes, improving efficiency, and complementing their existing sorting and washing systems. This unit was intended to replace aging crushing equipment while integrating seamlessly with their existing workflow.

The client is a plastic recycling facility that collects post-consumer PET bottles from urban municipalities and industrial partners. The facility focuses on:
Given the facility’s scale and waste intake of approximately 1.5–2 tons per hour, the SSJ1000 water bottle crusher machine was selected. Its technical parameters fit the operational demands of medium-to-large volume recycling, ensuring effective processing while avoiding over-investment in overly large equipment.
The water bottle crusher machine in Indonesia primarily processes:
The crushed PET output is intended for several applications:
With the SSJ1000 water bottle crusher machine in Indonesia, the facility achieves consistent fragmentation at around 3 cm, enabling uniform feeding to downstream pelletizing machines. The robust hexagonal rotor design allows for the crushing of both soft and rigid plastics without excessive downtime or wear.
The SSJ1000 water bottle crusher machine in Indonesia integrates smoothly with existing facility operations:
Advantages for the client include: enhanced throughput, reliable performance, low maintenance, and extended blade lifespan due to the durable 55CrSi material. The hexagonal rotor design ensures uniform cutting pressure, preventing bottlenecks and improving overall plant efficiency.
The SSJ1000 water bottle crusher machine was shipped from China via sea freight to Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya. RICHI Machinery provided full installation guidance, commissioning support, and operator training, ensuring the equipment became fully operational immediately after arrival.
The SSJ series water bottle crusher machine in Indonesia is widely used in:
Technical highlights include:
The client appreciated the robust build quality and versatility of the SSJ1000, which allows for handling diverse waste streams while maintaining uniform output size.
Post-installation, the facility reported immediate improvements:
A facility manager commented: “RICHI’s SSJ1000 is reliable, durable, and easy to operate. Our processing speed has improved significantly, and the service support from RICHI has been exceptional. We are confident this investment will pay off quickly.”
The water bottle crusher machine in Indonesia demonstrates RICHI Machinery’s expertise in delivering high-quality, efficient, and versatile plastic recycling solutions. The SSJ1000 provides the necessary preliminary crushing capacity to prepare irregular PET and HDPE bottles for further processing, supporting sustainable recycling initiatives.
RICHI offers clients professional guidance, installation, training, and ongoing support, ensuring every investment delivers long-term value, improved productivity, and reliability. This project underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing environmental sustainability through advanced industrial solutions.
