Abstract

A machine for shredding plastic container including a pressing device having a main housing having an interior space, a first opening for feeding container and a second opening for disposing the shredded pieces, a fixed plate position at one end within the housing and having slits arranged in matrix pattern, facing the interior of the housing, and having sharp edges, a movable plate having plurality of blades connected to at least one arm. The movable plate can move along a central axis within the housing and the blades have edges facing the sharp edges of the fixed plate. The containers are placed between the plates, such that when the movable plates moves along the central axis of the housing toward the fixed plate, the blades crash and cut the container into flakes. Pegs protrude from the blades, such that when the arm moves forward, the pegs punch the container.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a machine for shredding plastic container. The machine comprises a pressing device, a fixed plate having slits arranged in matrix pattern, where said plate is positioned at one end within the housing and said slits face the interior space of the housing, a movable plate having plurality of blades connected to at least one arm, wherein said plate is arranged to move along a central axis within the housing and said blades edges facing the sharp edges of said fixed plate where the blades configuration correspond to slits matrix pattern. When operating the machine the containers are placed in-between said movable plate and said fixed plate, such that when the movable plates moves along the central axis of the housing toward the fixed plate, the blades crash and cut/shear the container into flakes of predefined size suitable for recycling.
