Wet Plastic Crusher for Enhanced Recycling
The wet plastic crusher combines crushing and pre-washing in a single stage, helping recyclers reduce contamination, cool the cutting chamber, and improve final flake consistency.
It is especially effective for dirty rigid plastics, films, bottles, and mixed scrap that would otherwise generate excessive friction and heat in a dry crusher.
- Built-in water spray helps clean material during crushing.
- Blade cooling reduces heat build-up and plastic smearing.
- Suitable for PP, PE, HDPE, ABS, and other dirty thermoplastics.
Key Advantages
Use wet crushing to reduce contamination early, protect blades, and support more stable washing-line performance.
Integrated Pre-Washing
Water rinses material during crushing, helping remove loose dirt and residues before downstream washing.
Lower Friction Heat
Blade cooling reduces the risk of melted plastic build-up and improves crushing consistency.
Improved Blade Life
Cooling and lubrication help reduce wear and extend maintenance intervals.
More Versatile Input
Handles bottles, films, rigid plastics, and mixed dirty scrap more effectively than many dry-only units.
Typical Applications
Wet crushing is well suited to plastic waste that benefits from simultaneous size reduction, blade cooling, and an initial rinse before downstream washing.
Dirty PP/PE Film
Agricultural film, packaging film, and post-consumer film with loose soil, labels, or surface contamination.
PET & HDPE Bottles
Beverage bottles, detergent containers, and blow-molded packaging that require crushing before separation and washing.
Rigid Plastic Scrap
PP and HDPE crates, containers, injection-molding scrap, and ABS parts with dirt or processing residue.
Washing Line Pre-Processing
Primary crushing and pre-rinsing before friction washing, sink-float separation, mechanical drying, or thermal drying.
