Material Handling Capacity | Recycling facilities with mixed plastic waste | Processes 6+ plastic types (PET, HDPE, PP, PS, LDPE, PVC) ▲▲ (2x industry avg of 3 types) | Handles diverse waste streams without pre-sorting (e.g., post-consumer bottles + industrial scrap) | Requires sorting for optimal performance (non-plastic contaminants may damage blades) |
Processing Capacity | Large-scale recycling plants | 1,500 kg/h throughput (ISO 14083) ▲▲▲ (40% higher than industry average 1,070 kg/h) | Reduces labor costs by 30% in high-volume operations (e.g., municipal waste centers) | Higher energy consumption (requires 3-phase power supply) |
Automation Level | Factories needing precision control | PLC-controlled with real-time monitoring (IEC 61131-3) ▲▲ (Industry standard uses manual controls) | Ensures consistent output quality (e.g., uniform pellet sizes for manufacturing) | Requires skilled operators (training adds 10% upfront cost) |
Safety Features | Facilities with multiple operators | Dual safety interlocks (EN 60204-1) ▲ (Industry standard has single interlock) | Reduces accident risk by 50% (e.g., in busy industrial settings) | Adds 15% to equipment cost |
Customization Options | Businesses with variable feed sizes | Adjustable blade gap (0.5–5 mm) + conveyor speed (ISO 5080) ▲▲ (Industry standard has fixed settings) | Adapts to diverse feed sizes (e.g., thick HDPE pipes vs. thin film) | Custom setups may require 2–3 hours of downtime |
Environmental Impact | Eco-conscious facilities | 98% material recovery rate (ASTM D7209) ▲▲▲ (15% better than industry average 85%) | Minimizes landfill waste (e.g., converting 1 ton of scrap into 980 kg of usable pellets) | Higher initial investment for eco-tech (e.g., advanced filtration systems) |
