This plastic film shredder machine is ideal for cutting PP / PE plastic film, bags or any other flexible material. Depending on the condition of the raw material, the shredded plastic can be fed directly into a washing line setup. The addition of a moveable hopper allows for a jam-free experience.
FEATURES
The major advantage of this plastic film shredder machine include unlimited assisted feeding, high shredding efficiency, and no jamming;
The rotor is specially customized with a large rotating diameter to ensure increased surface contact to improve productivity;
The transmission is connected by a coupling to reduce vibration and to protect the main shaft and the reducer without the loss of power.
A fixed knife is equipped on the top and bottom of the main shaft. This effectively cuts the material without wrapping the shaft and results in smaller sized pieces after crushing.
The PLC electric control system is equipped with functions such as start, stop, forward rotation and automatic overload protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the plastic film shredder process?
It is ideal for cutting PP/PE plastic film, bags, and other flexible materials. Depending on the condition of the raw material, the shredded plastic can be fed directly into a washing line setup — making it a flexible first stage for both clean post-industrial film and dirtier post-consumer bales.
What does the moveable hopper do?
The moveable hopper provides unlimited assisted feeding of bulky, lightweight film into the cutting chamber. Because film tends to bridge and jam in fixed hoppers, the moveable design keeps material flowing steadily, which is what allows the jam-free experience this machine is known for.
How does the shredder prevent film from wrapping around the shaft?
A fixed knife is mounted on both the top and bottom of the main shaft, cutting material before it can wrap. The rotor is specially customized with a large rotating diameter for increased surface contact and productivity, and the coupling-connected transmission reduces vibration while protecting the main shaft and reducer without power loss.
What controls does the PLC electric control system provide?
The PLC system provides start, stop, and forward rotation functions plus automatic overload protection. If the machine encounters an unshreddable object or a jam, the overload protection stops the drive before damage occurs — an important safeguard for unattended or continuous operation.
Where does the film shredder fit in a recycling line?
It is typically the first machine in the line: it shreds whole bales or loose film into manageable pieces that then feed directly into the washing line (trommel, crusher, friction washers, sink-float tank) and onward to densifying and pelletizing. Proper shredding upfront keeps every downstream stage running at its rated capacity.
What maintenance does the film shredder require?
Inspect the fixed knives regularly for wear and replace them as needed — our shredder blade replacement guide covers the procedure. Check the coupling and transmission for vibration or play, confirm the PLC overload protection is functioning, and keep spare knives and wear parts on hand. The overload protection also serves as an early warning of blade dullness.
