This week, the AGS1600 heavy-duty single-shaft shredder was successfully tested at Kitech Machinery's facility! The trial run focused on processing various types of rigid plastics, demonstrating smooth operation, high recycling efficiency, and uniformly sized output material. The AGS series shredder is an ideal solution for large-scale recycling operations.
I. How It Works:
Materials are fed into the shredding chamber through an advanced feeding system. Through a combination of tearing, compressing, and shearing, the materials are broken down into small pieces and discharged through a screen mesh. It offers low blade maintenance costs, quiet operation, user-friendly controls, wide applicability, and a compact footprint.
II. Application Scenarios:
► Film Materials: Agricultural mulch film, BOPP packaging film, PET/LDPE film, mixed films
► Rigid Plastics: PP woven bags, PP/PE bottles, pallets, EPS foam blocks, plastic crates, and plastic Lumps

III. Core Technical Highlights:
1. Feeding System
The feeding system consists of a hopper and a rubber conveyor belt. Materials are transported via the conveyor to the hopper and then enter the shredding chamber. Kitech's optimized hopper design prevents material spillage and can be customized to meet specific client requirements. The rubber conveyor belt offers a longer service life compared to traditional PVC belts.
2. Blade System
The blades, located inside the shredding chamber, are driven by a large-diameter flat rotor. As the core component of the shredder, the blades directly impact both the machine's service life and shredding performance. The AGS series utilizes high-strength alloy steel blades, ensuring stable performance under heavy loads while minimizing wear.
3. Hydraulic System
A powerful swing type hydraulic pusher effectively prevents material blocking and reduces wear on internal guide rails. Kitech's compact hydraulic power unit simplifies future maintenance.
4. Transmission System
Kitech employs renowned brand gearboxes designed for low-speed, high-torque operation. These transmissions provide optimized power delivery for challenging plastic shredding tasks, featuring low noise levels, high energy efficiency, and minimal maintenance requirements.
5. Motor System
The shredder is powered by high-quality WEG motors, ensuring efficient and reliable performance. Motor power can be customized based on processing capacity and the types of plastics being handled.
6. Bearing Assembly with Water Cooling System
The machine is equipped with imported heavy-duty guide bearings that offer exceptional radial and axial load capacity. These ensure smooth, low-vibration operation even during continuous operation.The water cooling system circulates coolant to reduce the temperature of core components such as blades and gears, preventing issues like material melting and degradation of mechanical properties caused by high temperatures.
7. PLC Control System
Kitech's advanced PLC control system offers flexibility and programmability, allowing customization according to specific material types. Safety features include multiple interlock mechanisms, emergency stop functions, and automatic power shutdown during maintenance.
8. Replaceable Screen Mesh
Users can select between Z-type or O-type screen meshes (with apertures typically ranging from 10–50 mm) installed beneath the rotor, catering to diverse recycling needs. Undersized fragments are sent back to the shredding chamber for reprocessing, guaranteeing consistent output size.
