Industrial-Grade Efficiency Meets Reliability in Film Recycling
Last week marked a significant milestone at Kitech Facility as the AGS1200 single-shaft shredder successfully processed LDPE film at a sustained throughput of 500-600 kg/hour. At the test site, the process was still running smoothly in the face of large volumes of LDPE film, and the output size was uniform. The shredded film is now ready for direct sale as recycled feedstock or further downstream processing.
I.Main Features
The AGS1200 tackles highly entangling materials like LDPE film through a combination of tearing, shearing, and compression forces. Its optimized design accommodates minor lightweight metal contaminants while maintaining low blade wear, minimal noise, and compact footprint.
II.Application Materials
1. Agricultural Film
2. BOPP Packaging Film
3. PET Film
4. LDPE Film
5. Woven Bags
6. Plastic Pallets
7. Plastic Scraps
8. Nylon Thread
III.Precision Engineering: Core Systems
1. Feed System
The optimized hopper design prevents material overflow, paired with a heavy-duty rubber conveyor belt (outlasting standard PVC belts) for continuous high-volume feeding. Kitech offers tailored hopper configurations for specific material profiles.
2. Rotor & Blade System
At the heart of the AGS shredder lies its robust Rotor and Blade System – the critical component responsible for efficient size reduction. Engineered for demanding plastic recycling applications, this system delivers exceptional durability and versatility:
High-Performance Blades
Constructed from Generation-II High-Strength Alloy Steel, a proprietary material developed by Kitech Machinery. This unique formulation delivers exceptional hardness and wear resistance, significantly extending blade life even under continuous operation.
Heavy-Duty Rotor
Features a Large-Diameter, Solid-Steel Flat Rotor. This substantial construction ensures maximum inertia and power transmission.
The large-diameter, flat design promotes even stress distribution across the blades during shredding, enhancing stability and reducing localized wear, contributing to consistent output quality and prolonged system life.
3.Hydraulic System: Ensuring Uninterrupted Operation
Kitech AGS shredder features an advanced integrated oscillating hydraulic pusher that actively prevents material bridging and blockages within the shredding chamber. This intelligent system simultaneously minimizes wear on internal guide rails, enhancing component longevity. Complementing this is a compact hydraulic power unit designed for simplified access and streamlined subsequent maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
4. Transmission System: Precision Power Delivery
The AGS shredder integrates a low-speed, high-torque gearbox engineered for industrial reliability. It is designed to convert motor power into optimal shredding force, the system ensures consistent performance under heavy loads while extending equipment lifespan and lowering operational costs.
5.Motor System: Reliable Power Core
Kitech AGS shredder is driven by high-quality WEG motors, ensuring consistent and efficient operation. This strategic configuration guarantees optimal energy efficiency and shredding performance under demanding industrial conditions.
6.Changeable Screens: Precision Output Control
Users can choose the type of screen installed under the rotor, Z-type or O-type (usually with a hole diameter of 10-50 mm), according to the processed materials to meet the use requirements of different recycling scenarios. Fragments that do not meet the size requirements will be sent back to the crushing chamber for reprocessing to ensure uniform output materials.
7.Bearing Assembly: Foundation of Stability
The AGS shredder utilizes premium imported heavy-duty guide bearings engineered to deliver exceptional radial and axial load capacity.
8. PLC Control & Safety: Kitech's advanced PLC system
Customizable shredding programs for different materials.
Intuitive diagnostics and modular maintenance.
Multi-lock safety protocols, Emergency-stops, and Auto power-cut during maintenance.
9. Transfer silo
The Transfer silo feeds accumulated fragments at a relatively constant and controlled rate to downstream equipment via its bottom discharge mechanism. It resolves the conflict between the intermittent output of the upstream shredder and the need for continuous, stable feed for subsequent processes. This hopper is a critical component for ensuring the smooth, efficient, and continuous operation of the entire production line.
IV.Unlock Your Recycling Potential
The AGS1200 delivers the reliability recyclers demand for scaling operations. Its validated 500–600 kg/h film processing capacity-coupled with robust hard plastic performance-makes it an ideal turnkey solution.
