Plastic pipes, made from materials such as HDPE, PE, PVC, and PPR, are widely used across industries, including sanitation, construction, and telecommunications. However, the production and usage of these pipes lead to significant waste, including defective pipes, purgings, and long pipes no longer in use. Efficientrecycling solutions are critical to reduce environmental impact and recover valuable materials.
Our Pipe Shredder is specifically designed to break down large plastic pipes efficiently, helping to streamline the recycling process and contribute to a more sustainable approach in industries handlingplastic waste.

Why Do You Need Plastic Pipe Shredders?
- Problem: Waste plastic pipes are challenging to recycle due to their large size and tough materials. Disposal often involves landfills, burning, or long-term storage, all of which contribute to environmental pollution.
- Solution: The Amstar Pipe Shredder efficiently processes large plastic pipes, breaking them into manageable pieces that can be further recycled or disposed of properly, reducing environmental impact.

Our Pipe Shredding Solutions:
Our shredders are available in various models to meet different recycling needs. Below are the details of the Amstar shredders tailored for processing plastic pipes:

Model | Capacity | Diameter | Length |
Rigid Plastic Shredder Machines | 500 -1500kg/h | ≤ 500 mm | ≤ 1000 mm |
Extruded Plastic Pipe Shredder System | 800 – 2000kg/h | ≤ 1500 mm | ≤ 6000 mm |
Mobile Pipe Shredder | 800 -1500kg/h | ≤ 630 mm | ≤ 3000 mm |
How Does the Amstar Pipe Shredder Work?
Motor Power: The shredder is powered by high- torque motors that drive a heavy-duty shaft and cutting blades to process large plastic pipes.
Shredding Process: Pipes are loaded into the system and fed into thecutting area. The rotating and stationary blades shear the pipes into smaller sections.


Adjustable Output Size: The gap between the rotating and stationary blades can be adjusted to control the size of the shredded material, allowing customization for specific recycling processes.
Applications of Plastic Pipe Shredders
Waste Plastic Pipe Pre-Treatment: Breaks large pipes into smaller pieces, removing impurities and preparing the material for further cleaning or sorting.
Recycled Plastic Raw Materials: Shredded plastic pipes can be used as raw material for the production of new plastic products.
Energy Recovery: Shredded pipes serve as auxiliary fuel in waste-to-energy plants, improving combustion efficiency and reducing waste.
Landfill Space Reduction: By reducing the size of plastic waste, the shredder helps minimize landfill space requirements.
