Design of the GP20 Plastic Shredder

GP20 Plastic Shredder Hopper

GP20 Hopper

The hopper is precisely designed for efficient and safe operation. Its robust design allows for smooth feeding of a variety of thermoplastics, making it ideal for high volume shredding jobs.

The optimised shape of the hopper minimises the risk of clogging, ensuring a smooth flow of materials into the shredder.
In addition, the plastic shredder has an intelligent feed system that automatically adjusts the feed rate for optimum performance.

GP20 Plastic Shredder - Shredder Unit

Shredder Unit

The shredder is engineered for precision and efficiency, making it an essential tool for recycling various thermoplastic materials. It features swappable blades with different numbers of teeth, allowing for efficient and effective cutting of plastics of various sizes.

With a total of 14 blades, the plastic shredder offers combinations of 2, 3, and 7 teeth blades to cater to specific shredding requirements.

GP20 Plastic Shredder - Granulator Unit

Granulator Unit

The GP20 granulator is a highly efficient unit designed to grind plastic waste into uniform flakes. Featuring a 3-blade rotor and a 3.5mm filter screen, it ensures that the granulated material is of optimal size for filament production.

The blades provide consistent particle size, making the material ideal for further processing or direct reuse in the Filament Maker.

The granulator operates seamlessly with the shredder or as a standalone unit, offering flexibility and versatility in recycling operations.

GP20 Plastic Shredder - Container

GP20 Container

The container is designed to safely hold and transport crushed and granulated materials. Its design and easy-to-use locking mechanism ensures that materials are stored safely during processing.

GP20 Plastic Shredder - Trolley

GP20 Trolley

The trolley is a convenient and mobile solution for transporting the shredder and the granulator unit. Designed with durable wheels and a sturdy frame, the trolley allows easy movement within your workspace.

GP20 Plastic Shredder - Motor

GP20 Motor

Both of the units are powered by two motor, each delivering 750 watts, for a combined total of 1500 watts.

One engine is dedicated to the shredder, while the other powers the granulator. This dual-engine configuration ensures that both units operate at optimal efficiency, providing consistent and reliable performance during brutal plastic recycling and production tasks.

Advanced Features

Dual Design

This dual design combines our intelligent plastic shredder with an integrated granulator, allowing you to focus on what you need. Recycling plastic of any shape and size into granulate-size 3D printing material. The functionality of the GP20 Plastic Shredder gives you the freedom and flexibility to incorporate it into any project within any industry.

Intelligent Settings

As the user, you can tailor the GP20’s settings specifically to your needs. The smart sensors work together to automate several manual operations:
