Our Disk Separator is a highly efficient machine designed to separate material streams based on size. Whether you're dealing with plastics, paper, metals, or other mixed materials, this machine ensures precise separation tailored to your needs. Its customizable features and robust construction make it a top choice for various industrial applications.
Maintaining the efficiency of your plastic recycling line depends on timely shredder blade replacement. Our replacement blades for plastic shredders are custom-machined from D2, DC53, and SKD-11 tool steel for durable, precise cutting — sized to fit your shredder's rotor and bed-knife geometry.
Key Features of Our Replacement Shredder Blades
- Tool-steel construction: machined from D2, DC53, or SKD-11 and heat-treated for hardness and wear resistance in tough shredding.
- Precise, repeatable cut: tight tolerances keep cut size consistent and reduce load on the rotor and motor.
- Custom fitment: made to your shredder's blade dimensions, bolt pattern, and clearance — including blades for other brands.
- Lower cost per ton: longer edge life and fewer changeovers cut blade spend and downtime.
Tool Steel Grades: D2, DC53 and SKD-11
The right steel depends on your feed. D2 balances wear resistance and toughness for general rigid plastics; DC53 adds toughness for abrasive, glass-filled material; SKD-11 suits hard plastics needing a fine, durable edge. For a full breakdown of blade steel grades and how to match them, see our guide to plastic recycling blade steels.
Shredder Blade Applications
- Plastic bottles: PET and HDPE bottles into uniform, recyclable pieces.
- Plastic film: PE/PP film and woven bags reduced to manageable size (anti-wrap geometry available).
- Rigid plastic and pipe: large-diameter HDPE/PVC pipe, profiles, and purgings.
- Mixed and bulky waste: drums, crates, and post-industrial scrap.
Custom-Machined to Fit Your Shredder
Send your blade drawing or sample, or your shredder make and model. We machine replacement blades to the exact length, width, thickness, bolt holes, and edge angle — so they drop in without modification and hold the clearance your cut quality depends on.
When to Replace Shredder Blades
Replace blades before a rounded edge starts costing you throughput. The practical signs:
- Cut size drifts larger or becomes inconsistent.
- More fines, strings, or uncut pieces in the output.
- Higher motor amp draw and more frequent jams.
- Visible rounding, chipping, or cracks on the cutting edge.
Where the edge is only dulled and the body is sound, many blades can be reground rather than replaced — see how to replace and maintain shredder blades.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should shredder blades be replaced?
It depends on material and runtime, not a fixed interval. Abrasive or contaminated feed such as glass-filled plastic or mixed waste dulls edges faster than clean plastic. Replace when cut size drifts, fines increase, or amp draw climbs — and regrind earlier to extend total blade life.
Can I get replacement blades for another brand of shredder?
Yes. We machine blades to your drawing, sample, or shredder make and model, so they fit existing rotors without modification.
What tool steel are the blades made from?
Typically D2, DC53, or SKD-11, selected and heat-treated for your feed — abrasive material favors DC53, hard plastics favor SKD-11.
Should I replace or resharpen worn blades?
Resharpen while the blade still has usable steel above its minimum dimension and no cracks; replace once it reaches the wear limit or develops structural damage.

Vertical Mixing and Drying Machine
Vertical Mixing & Drying Machine
A compact, high-efficiency unit that blends powders or granules and removes moisture using controlled heating and airflow—ideal for plastics processing and industrial material preparation.
Key Features
Designed for stable mixing, efficient drying, and easy operation—built with industrial durability in mind.
- Vertical Tank Design
Vertical cylindrical tank with conical bottom for efficient mixing and discharge, with a compact footprint.
- Durable Materials
Commonly built with corrosion-resistant stainless steel to withstand demanding industrial environments.
- Heating & Drying
Integrated heating system supports moisture removal and stable processing for temperature-sensitive materials.
- Control System
Set and monitor parameters like temperature, mixing speed, and time for repeatable results.
- Safety Protection
Emergency stop and safety interlocks help protect operators and reduce operational risk.
- Optional Accessories
Options like spray nozzles for liquid dosing or vacuum support for deaeration can be added.
How It Works: Mixing + Drying in One
A simple 3-step workflow that blends materials uniformly, removes moisture using heating + airflow, and discharges cleanly for the next process.
- 1) Feeding
Load powder, granules, pellets, or flakes into the vertical chamber—optional dosing supports stable batch control.
- 2) Mixing
The mixing system circulates materials throughout the tank to improve uniformity, ideal for blending additives or masterbatch.
- 3) Heating, Drying & Discharge
Controlled heating with hot-air circulation removes moisture, then the conical bottom supports fast, clean discharge to downstream equipment.
