Kitech Machinery is excited to announce the successful factory testing of its AGF series plastic crusher. Engineered specifically for efficient recycling of plastic films, small hollow bottles, and PET bottles, the AGF series employs customized rotor designs tailored to the unique characteristics of different materials. This "special machine for special use" approach ensures optimal crushing performance.
I. How the AGF Series Works: Precision Crushing
The crusher operates via a powerful electric motor driving a high-speed rotating cutter disc (rotor). As the rotary blades spin, they interact with fixed stationary blades (bed knives). The precisely calibrated gap between these blades creates a powerful shearing and cutting action, effectively reducing large plastic items into smaller fragments. The size of the output particles is controlled by interchangeable screen meshes.
II. Primary Applications: Versatile Recycling
The AGF Series excels at processing a wide range of plastic waste streams, including:
1. Plastic Film Recycling:
2. Large Plastic Crates:
3. PET Plastic Bottles:
3. PP/PE Plastic Tubes:
5. LDPE Trip Tape:
III. Key Advantages: Performance, Flexibility, Reliability
High Throughput: Demonstrating significantly improved efficiency, the AGF Series achieves an estimated 20% to 40% increase in processing capacity compared to conventional shredders. This enables both large-scale factories and smaller recycling operations to handle large volumes of plastic waste.
Wide Adaptability: The crusher capably processes diverse plastic types – from rigid pipes and profiles to soft, flexible films. This broad versatility makes it highly valuable across the plastic recycling industry.
Simplified Maintenance: Featuring a robust single-shaft design, the AGF ensures easier routine maintenance, leading to reduced downtime, increased operational efficiency, and lower overall maintenance costs.
VI.Engineered Features for Superior Performance:
High-Efficiency Feed Hopper: A uniquely designed rectangular feed opening simplifies the feeding of large plastic waste. Optional integration with suction fans and storage silos creates a highly efficient large plastic waste recycling system.
Robust Bearing System &Counterweight: Utilizes sealed bearings within heavy-duty guide bearings and oversized external bearing housings for extended service life. The main function of counterweight is to balance the main shaft, ensuring smooth, low-vibration operation during continuous use.
Reliable WEG Electric Motor: Equipped with high-efficiency, low-energy-consumption WEG motors known for stability. Integrated motor overload protection and electrical interlock systems provide essential operational safety.
Convenient Electric Hydraulic Control: This automated system allows for easy and safe opening of the machine housing and screen frame via a controller, significantly reducing operator effort and improving workflow. Its sturdy construction ensures long service life and high reliability in demanding industrial settings.
Durable High-Performance Blades: Blades are manufactured from high-hardness D2 alloy steel for longevity. Featuring V-cut technology and a staggered rotor blade arrangement, they are ideally suited for films and hollow plastics, delivering uniform output particle size and effective crushing results.
Advanced PLC Control System: Kitech's sophisticated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) offers flexibility and programmability, enabling customization to specific operational needs. Intuitive diagnostics and modular design simplify operation, ensure easy maintenance, and facilitate rapid troubleshooting. Critical safety systems include automatic power cut-off when access doors are opened.
Customizable Output Size (Screens): A key feature is the availability of interchangeable screen meshes. By selecting the appropriate mesh size, operators can precisely control the dimensions of the shredded plastic particles to meet the requirements of various recycling processes. This transforms waste plastic into reusable material, reducing the need for new raw materials and lowering production costs.
V.Essential Operation & Maintenance Guidelines:
Stable Installation: Place the shredder on a level, stable surface in a well-ventilated area to prevent movement and ensure adequate motor cooling for extended lifespan.
Pre-Operation Checks: Before starting, ensure the blade assembly moves freely and the crushing chamber is clear of obstructions. Verify rotation direction matches the machine's indicator arrow. Allow the machine to run idle for 1-2 minutes before feeding material.
Consistent Feeding: Maintain a steady, even feed rate. Avoid overloading the hopper, especially when processing tough, elastic plastics, to prevent blade jamming, motor overload, or potential damage.
Operational Monitoring: Maintain consistent feeding to avoid overload or running empty. Strictly exclude metals and other hard contaminants. Never operate under sustained overload conditions. Immediately stop the machine if excessive vibration, unusual noises, high bearing temperatures, or an overheated motor occur. Investigate the cause before restarting.
Restart Specifications: After stopping, clear any residual plastic fragments from the crushing chamber before restarting to reduce startup load. Regularly clean the dust discharge port to prevent powder from entering bearings.
Regular Lubrication & Inspection: During extended operation, periodically lubricate bearings according to manufacturer guidelines. Regularly check drive belt tension and adjust if loose.
Blade Maintenance: Regularly inspect blade sharpness. Sharpen or replace blades promptly when they become dull to maintain efficiency and prevent jams. Periodically check and adjust the clearance between rotary and stationary blades, and inspect blade mounting bolts to ensure they are securely tightened.
