Different Plastic Waste Needs
Different Size Reduction
Material size, hardness, toughness and bulk density determine whether shredding, crushing or a combination of both is required.

Choose the
Right First Step
Both machines reduce plastic size, but they are designed for different feedstock conditions and process stages.
01Primary Reduction
Shredder
Low-speed, high-torque primary size reduction.
- Large or bulky material
- Thick, dense feedstock
- Lumps and long parts
- Rough shredded pieces
Typical rolePre-shredding
02Secondary / Fine Reduction
Crusher
Higher-speed size reduction for smaller flakes.
- Smaller or prepared material
- Bottles and containers
- Pre-shredded plastic
- Controlled flake production
Typical roleCrushing for washing
| Typical Comparison | Shredder | Crusher |
|---|---|---|
| Main role | Primary reduction | Secondary / fine reduction |
| Feed size | Large or bulky | Smaller or prepared |
| Operating profile | Lower speed, higher torque | Higher speed, lower relative torque |
| Typical output | Shredded pieces | Smaller flakes |
