Generally, the terms shredder and crusher can be used interchangeably. What’s the difference? When you need to break materials into small pieces, you may need such a machine to meet your needs. How to choose? This article will give you a brief introduction.

1. Shredder

Shredder, called “Shredder” in English, is a low-speed and high-torque machine with a knife roller. It can break large materials into irregular pieces. The shredder pieces are usually 20mm-200mm or larger in size. It is mainly suitable for recycling the treatment of plastic, paper, wood, fiber, rubber, domestic garbage, etc. There are many kinds of recyclable materials.

Ø Common application scope of shredders include:

1. Reduce the space occupied by garbage, thereby reducing garbage consignment costs;

2. Shred into pieces such as old tires for use as fuel or filler;

3. Shatter paper or confidential documents so that they can’t be identified and read;

4. The crushing of waste plastics before cleaning and regeneration;

5. Destruction of counterfeit products and defective products;

6. To prepare for the next process during the production process, materials need to be refined.

The above only includes the most common shredding applications, you can also see various crushers and more technical information about the process on the official website of Lantai.

2. Crusher

Crushers generally crush larger pieces of material, and the product size is coarser, usually larger than 8 mm. Its structural feature is that there is a certain gap between the broken pieces and they do not touch each other. The crusher can be divided into LTPC series crusher, LTSWP series crusher, LTQL series superpower crusher.

2.1 LTPC series crusher

It is mainly used for crushing small and thin-walled products, such as injection-molded basins, bottles, small electronic products, etc. It is very suitable for recycling unqualified products by product factories.

2.2 LTSWP series crusher

It is mainly suitable for crushing various plastic profiles and pipes, including plastic doors, plastic plates, window frames, wire grooves, sheets, and plastic pipes.

2.3 LTQL series superpower crusher

It is mainly used to crush hollow products such as large mineral water bottles and various daily packaging buckets. It can also crush small injection molded parts such as pots, flower pots, car battery shells, and various waste materials such as die, pallets, and car bumpers.

Ø Noted:

When you consider buying a crusher and need to make a choice, you need to determine the answer to the following questions:

1. What material should you crush? Soft or hard, thick or thin, tough or brittle? It is best to have photos and real objects provided to the crusher manufacturer.

2. What is the size of the material to be crushed? Is the material loose or compressed?

3. What is the size of the crushed material? Is the uniformity of particle size important?

4. How many hours does the crusher need to work every day? Is the feeding intermittent or continuous?
