A Plastic Shredder is a machine designed for the efficient reduction of various materials, such as metal scrap, plastics, rubber, and paper. It features two parallel shafts equipped with interlocking cutting blades or knives that rotate in opposite directions. This dual-shaft configuration enhances shredding performance and reduces the likelihood of material jams. Plastic Shredders are versatile and capable of processing a wide range of materials, breaking them down into smaller, more manageable pieces suitable for recycling.
Suitable of Application for Plastic Shredder
We deliver scrap shredders from 5hp to 500hp that offer world leading performance and reliability at industry leading low operating cost.
These are extremely robust versatile and high performance machine characterized by a low rotation speed which guarantee high cutting capacity even with tough materials.
With a unique geometry and disruptive automation solutions, our shredders can achieve a high output with low power consumption.
Our shredders are ideal to reduce the size of a wide range of waste types such as commercial and industrial waste, paper, plastics, cans, composite materials, electric cables, aluminum scrap, cardboard, biomass, wood, MSW waste, metal scrap, tyres, etc.
It is designed to manage the operating parameters through an integrated PLC and are equipped with a remote control.
A complete services is available to the scrap shredder operator, from turnkey design, manufacture and installation.

A Plastic Shredder Machine is a heavy-duty equipment engineered to reduce the size of plastic waste – such as PET bottles, HDPE/LDPE containers, film, and rigid plastic parts – into smaller, manageable pieces for recycling or further processing. Power Hydrotech’s shredders use robust cutting shafts/blades and a strong drive system to ensure consistent throughput and low maintenance.
The Plastic Shredder from Power Hydrotech is designed to handle a wide range of plastic materials — including PET bottles, HDPE drums, PP/PS rigid parts, LDPE film and mixed plastic scrap. Its high-torque, durable design makes it suitable for even tougher plastic variants.
Advantages of this shredding solution include:
High throughput and consistent output even for challenging plastic waste.
Low maintenance and reliable operation because of durable construction and optimized blade geometry.
Efficient size reduction, enabling lower storage space and easier transport of shredded plastic.
Seamless integration into recycling lines or plastic processing workflows, keeping downtime minimal.
When selecting the appropriate model, consider:
The type and hardness of plastic material you will shred (e.g., film vs rigid parts).
Throughput requirement — how much plastic waste you need to process per hour.
Desired output size or shred length to match your downstream process (granulator, washing line, pelletizing).
Machine features and customization — for example, blade type, shaft design, drive power, automated features. Power Hydrotech offers models tailored for various plastic waste streams.
Key maintenance and safety features to look out for:
Over-load protection or automatic reverse to prevent jamming when large or tough plastic is fed.
Wear-resistant cutter blades, liner plates and heavy-duty bearings for long life and lower upkeep.
User-friendly controls (PLC, emergency stop, safety interlocks) to ensure safe operation in industrial settings.
Smooth integration capability with material feeding systems, conveyors, and subsequent recycling units for minimal manual handling.
