How to crush plastic water bottles?

Our plastic crusher has 6 moving knives and 4 fixed knives. Firstm you need to put the plastic bottle into the feeding port of the plastic bottle crushing machine. Then the machine drives the moving cutter head to rotate at a high speed through the motor. In the process of high-speed rotation of the moving knife, a gap will be formed between the moving knife and the fixed knife under the action of the relative movement trend of the moving knife and the fixed knife. This will increase the size of the plastic crushing shear notch. Then the knife will crush the plastic into pieces. The crushed plastic is filtered out of the plastic sheet through the screen.

What we need to do is pour the waste plastic bottles into the feeding port of the plastic shredding machine. And then turn on the switch.
