Choosing the right PET bottle crusher setup can determine your plant’s maintenance costs for years to come. At Shuliy Machinery, we strongly advocate for wet crushing technology in the bottle recycling line. But what makes it superior?

In a wet crushing system, water is introduced into the crushing chamber. This serves three vital purposes:

  1. Cooling: It prevents the friction-generated heat from melting the plastic onto the SKD-11 blades, extending blade life significantly.
  2. Pre-washing: It initiates the cleaning process by removing surface dirt and sand before the flakes reach the tanks.
  3. Dust Reduction: It eliminates airborne plastic dust, creating a safer and cleaner working environment.

While dry crushing might seem cheaper initially, the increased crushing efficiency and reduced wear-and-tear of a wet system make it the smarter long-term investment for any serious recycling facility.
