A crusher for an online APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate) sheet machine is typically used to recycle the trim or scrap generated during the production process. APET is a type of plastic commonly used in packaging, and recycling the waste material helps reduce costs and environmental impact.
Here’s how a crusher integrates into an online APET sheet machine:
1. Purpose of the Crusher
– Recycling Scrap: The crusher grinds the trim or defective sheets into small pieces, which can be reused in the production process.
– Efficiency: It ensures continuous operation by processing waste material on-site, reducing downtime.
– Cost Savings: Recycling scrap reduces raw material costs and minimizes waste disposal expenses.

2. Integration with the APET Sheet Machine
– The crusher is typically installed at the end of the production line, where it collects trim or scrap from the cutting or slitting process.
– It can be connected directly to the extruder or hopper of the APET sheet machine to feed recycled material back into production.
3. Key Features of a Crusher for APET Sheets
– Durable Blades: Made from high-quality steel to handle tough plastic materials.
– Adjustable Particle Size: Allows control over the size of the crushed material for optimal reuse.
– Noise Reduction: Designed to operate quietly in a production environment.
– Dust Collection System: Prevents dust from contaminating the workspace.
– Compact Design: Fits seamlessly into existing production lines.
4. Types of Crushers
– Single Shaft Crusher: Suitable for softer materials like APET sheets.
– Double Shaft Crusher: Handles tougher materials and larger volumes of scrap.
– Granulators: Produce finer particles for easier reprocessing.
5. Considerations When Choosing a Crusher
– Production Capacity: Ensure the crusher can handle the volume of scrap generated by your APET sheet machine.
– Material Compatibility: Verify that it is suitable for processing APET plastic.
– Energy Efficiency: Look for models with low power consumption to reduce operating costs.
– Maintenance Requirements: Choose a crusher with easy-to-maintain components.
6. Benefits of Using a Crusher
– Reduces waste and promotes sustainability.
– Lowers raw material costs by reusing recycled
