Looking for the right solution to recycle thick plastic pipes like HDPE and PVC? EFFICIENT Machinery offers a range of high-performance machines — from compact shredders to powerful rotary systems — built for different recycling scales and budgets.

Whether you’re running an industrial plant or starting a small pipe recycling unit, our PVC pipe shredder lineup includes rotary shredders, hard plastic crushers, and compact shredders — all optimized for HDPE, PVC, PE, and similar materials.

Solution 1: Rotary Pipe Shredder – For High-Capacity Industrial Pipe Recycling

This is our top-tier solution designed for heavy-duty recycling of thick-walled, large-diameter pipes. The rotary shredder can process pipes up to 800mm in diameter and 6 meters in length — without the need for pre-cutting.

Key Specs:

  • Motor Power: 160 kW
  • Cutter Diameter: 2000 mm
  • Feed Port: 550 * 550 mm
  • Weight: 6.3 tons
  • Blade Material: H13 alloy steel
  • Optional Add-on: Fine crusher for 5–12 mm granules

✅ Handles full-length industrial pipes without jamming, ideal for high-throughput recycling centers, municipal waste processors, and export-grade pellet production.

✅ Best paired with a secondary plastic pipe crusher to produce uniform flakes ready for washing or pelletizing.

2: Long Inlet Plastic Crusher – For Pre-Cut Pipes & Direct Shredding

This hard plastic crusher is designed for operations processing 1–3 tons/day. It accepts pre-cut pipe sections up to 2 meters long and is ideal for electric conduit, factory offcuts, and medium-thickness rigid plastic pipes.

Hauptmerkmale:

  • Extended feed opening for easy loading
  • Sound-proof double-layer casing for quiet operation
  • Replaceable blades and adjustable mesh size (10–40 mm)
  • Power range: 30–55 kW
  • Output: 500–1200 kg/h

✅ This HDPE pipe shredder offers simple operation, durable build, and flexible granule size — a smart investment for pipe producers and recyclers looking for consistent output and low maintenance costs.

3. SL-800 Shredder – For Small-Scale or Entry-Level Projects

If you’re recycling less than 1 ton per month — such as in small workshops, rural stations, or pilot plants — the SL-800 is an affordable and efficient choice.

Specifications:

  • Cutterhead Diameter: 300 mm
  • Blade Thickness: 50 mm
  • Blade Material: 55SiCr
  • Power: 22 × 2 kW
  • Output: 1000 kg/h
  • Note: Pipes must be pre-cut manually before feeding

✅ This compact PVC pipe shredder is perfect for occasional use, providing a low-risk entry point into the pipe recycling business.
