Plastic Shredder
(Redirected from Shredder)
The shredder is the first machine we are building for the Precious Plastic project as all the other machines require small, somewhat uniform pieces of plastic as their raw material.

This shredder is used to convert plastic waste into flakes that can be used in Precious Plastic projects.
We have a small selection of perforated metal plate (Lochblech) that could be adapted (cut and perhaps re-drilled) to be the "sieves" determining the particle size that comes out of the shredder.
