HDPE Pipe Shredder
Engineered to shred large-diameter plastic pipes with unmatched efficiency and precision. Our shredders provide seamless, high-throughput operation for recycling facilities worldwide.
- Processes pipes up to 650mm in diameter
- Horizontal feed for long pipes
- Throughput up to 1500 kg/h
Key Features
Engineered for durability, efficiency, and superior performance in demanding plastic recycling environments.
Large-Diameter Capacity
Engineered to process pipes up to 650 mm in diameter and 5 meters in length, providing a robust solution for high-volume plastic recycling.
Horizontal Feeding Dock
The horizontal feeding dock streamlines the loading of long pipes, while a hydraulic ram ensures continuous material feed for uninterrupted operation.
High-Throughput Performance
Capable of processing up to 1500 kg of material per hour, ensuring optimal performance in busy recycling environments.
How the Pipe Shredder Works
A systematic process ensures large-diameter pipes are efficiently reduced to uniform, manageable pieces.
1. Material Loading
Whole plastic pipes are loaded into the horizontal feeding dock. This design eliminates the need for pre-cutting and streamlines material handling.
2. Hydraulic Ram Advancement
A powerful hydraulic ram automatically advances the pipe into the shredding chamber, ensuring a continuous and precisely controlled feed rate.
3. High-Torque Reduction
The material is shredded by a high-torque, slow-speed cutting rotor. The shredded pieces fall through a screen, ensuring a consistent output size.
Ideal Applications
Our Pipe Shredder is essential for various stages of the plastic recycling workflow to ensure high-quality results.
HDPE, PVC, PPR Pipes
Efficiently shreds large-diameter pipes from water, gas, and industrial applications into uniform flakes for recycling.
Plastic Profiles & Boards
Processes bulky plastic profiles, window frames, and boards, reducing them to a manageable size for further processing.
Customized Solutions
The shredder system can be tailored with specific rotor designs and screen sizes to meet unique facility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this shredder ideal for large-diameter pipes?
The machine features a long, horizontal feeding chamber and a powerful hydraulic ram. This design allows entire 5-meter pipes to be loaded at once and automatically fed into the cutting rotor, eliminating the need for manual intervention or pre-cutting.
What is the typical output particle size?
The primary shredder reduces pipes to rough flakes, typically around 120mm x 40mm. For finer regrind (e.g., under 20mm), this machine is often paired with a secondary granulator, which we can supply as part of a complete, two-stage recycling system.
Can the shredder process contaminated pipes?
The shredder is robust enough to handle pipes with minor contamination like dirt or residual liquid. However, to maximize blade longevity and ensure high-quality output, we recommend that pipes be reasonably clean. For heavily contaminated materials, a pre-washing stage is advised.
