A few days ago, some potential customers consulted online about this issue. In fact, there is no substantial difference in basic functions between the two. Both are aimed at crushing or shredding various plastic and rubber materials such as plastic profiles, pipes, rods, wires, films, and waste rubber products. In short, the working principle of the machine is the same.

The difference lies in the thickness of the crushed material blocks. A crusher breaks large block shaped materials into smaller particles, while a crusher breaks small block shaped plastic materials into finer particles. Granular materials can be directly used for extruders or injection molding, or can be regenerated through basic granulation. There is another type of plastic crusher that is a peripheral equipment of injection molding machines, which can directly crush and recycle the defective products and nozzle materials produced by injection molding machines.
