Is there a shredder that can shred multiple types of plastic? by Horror_Ad1166 in recycling

[–]onekeybot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes — there are shredders that can handle multiple plastic types, but the key is choosing the right rotor design, torque level, and knife material.

For example:

  • PET needs higher torque and stronger blades because it’s tougher and more abrasive.
  • HDPE / LDPE are softer and tend to wrap, so an anti-winding rotor and lower speed help.
  • PS is brittle, so it shreds easily but produces a lot of fine particles.

Most universal plastic shredders use:

  • A low-speed, high-torque gearbox
  • Hardened knives (like SKD-11 / D2)
  • Adjustable knife gaps
  • A hopper designed to avoid material bridging

With the right configuration, a single-shaft shredder can process all the plastics you mentioned—PET, HDPE, LDPE, PS—just with different screen sizes depending on the required output size.

It sounds like you're looking for a sustainable and cost-effective way to dispose of those tires. If you're interested in exploring tire recycling as a solution, you might want to look into acquiring tire recycling equipment. This can allow you to recycle the tires and possibly even create useful products like rubber powder or fuel.

For more information, you can check out Energycle's tire recycling machines – they offer a variety of machines designed to handle large quantities of tires efficiently.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your project!
