A shredder, also known as a cross cutter, is a cutting machine used in many types of cutting and material handling. A plastic shredder, for instance, is a machine utilized to cut large plastic pieces into small thin slices for processing. Unlike plastic cutters, shredders are mainly designed for large plastic pieces, such as car bumpers, drums, pipes, and whatever other things too large for simple granulated plastic. The main advantage a shredder has over other conventional machines is that it shreds both sides of a piece of plastic at the same time. This means the plastic will not be sliced into two parts by one side of the machine.

Wobide shredders are also popular with companies and recycling plants when it comes to crushing and separating large pieces of plastic. The process usually requires a large conveyor belt to move the plastic around, along with rollers and cutting blades at the end of the conveyor belt. These machines cut the plastic into strips and drop them onto a waiting chute at the bottom of the conveyor belt. The strips will then be sorted into smaller piles depending on whether they belong to plastic or metal. If metal, the pile will be melted down and the metal will be melted into plastic, while if plastic, the pile will be made into something else.

The best place to find a good plastic shredder would be in your local yellow pages under "plastic sheet shredders". But you can also look online. Shredders come in different sizes, shapes, and price ranges. Here are some tips to help you shop wisely.

- Size reduction. Shredders vary in size. While some shredders are small enough to be used in a single room, most are large enough to be used outdoors. Take note that some industrial shredders can shred very large pieces of hard plastic. Make sure to get the right size reduction for the job you need done.

- Material selection. A good plastic shredder will be able to handle two main kinds of materials - scrap plastic and metal. This is because most products like newspapers, plastic bags, cans, etc. also contain steel or iron fragments. These products can be shredded by a good shredder, but it is important to get a model that can handle such materials.

- Material specification. You should make sure to get a model that uses the appropriate type of particles for your project. For example, you should only get a plastic grinder that works best on plastics instead of papers. The same goes for any other product specification.

- Material availability. How many plastic shredder machines do you need? This can be determined by checking the stock in your garage or by visiting online shops selling these products. In most cases, you should be able to purchase the same amount of shredder machinery as what you have in stock. Otherwise, you might need to order more, or even get rid of some of your existing equipment. If you do run out, you can always buy more as soon as possible at Wobide Machinery.

Shredder price range starts from less than a hundred dollars to about five thousand dollars or even more. There are actually several models offered by different manufacturers that vary in features, speed, size, type of plastics to be shredded, and more. To help you get an idea of how much you should be spending for this kind of service, it is helpful to first know how much recycling a regular shredder can handle. Remember that a standard five.1 kg plastic bag can produce about five hundred pieces of plastic waste and one single shaft shredder can shred up more than two tons per hour.
