The VihoX 1000 Offline Plastic Crusher is our flagship heavy-duty industrial granulator designed for high-tonnage plastics recycling in large-scale thermoforming plants, sheet extrusion factories, and central reclaim centers. Engineered with an expansive 1000 mm chamber width (crushing chamber dimensions: 1000×470 mm) and an extra-large 1050×800 mm feed throat, this massive machine pulverizes complete rolls of skeletal trim, bulky purge lumps, thick container stacks, and heavy structural parts without pre-shredding.
Powered by an industrial 22–37 kW motor turning 30 staggered claw knives against 4 stationary bed counter-blades in hardened SKD-11/DC53 alloy, the machine achieves heavy throughputs of 800 to 1,000 kg/h. Built on a rigid 2.5–3.5 ton vibration-damped steel chassis with double-wall acoustic insulation (75–95 dB), it easily pairs with automated infeed conveyors, heavy-duty suction blowers, and high-capacity cyclone storage silos for complete closed-loop plant recycling.

The cutting rotor on the VihoX 1000 features 30 precision-positioned claw knives arranged along an advanced multi-start helical pattern. Driven by a massive external flywheel, the cutting action shears progressively across the 1000 mm chamber width. To facilitate effortless blade inspection and screen changes on a machine of this scale, the heavy upper feed hopper is equipped with an electric-hydraulic tilting cylinder, allowing a single technician to open the chamber in under 60 seconds at the push of a button.
Delivering up to 1,000 kg/h of uniform regrind flakes, the VihoX 1000 crusher functions as the central recycling hub for large packaging manufacturing complexes. When coupled with our pneumatic air conveying blower and de-dusting cyclone system, clean granulated material is continuously returned to central storage silos, ready for automated feeding into the primary feed throats of high-output sheet extrusion lines.
The VihoX 1000 offline granulator serves as the central scrap engine across the entire plant:
Under continuous conveyor infeed of standard rigid packaging sheet scrap, the VihoX 1000 reaches hourly production rates between 800 and 1,000 kg/h (1 metric ton/hr).
Because the feed hopper on this large machine weighs several hundred kilograms, an integrated electro-hydraulic pump and dual cylinders tilt the hopper open effortlessly for blade changes.
Yes. The 1050×800 mm feed throat and 1000 mm chamber width easily accommodate entire rolls or large tangled coils of skeleton scrap without prior cutting.
For general thermoforming scrap, a 22 kW motor is standard; for heavy extruder purges, thick sheets, or tough engineering resins like ABS, we equip the machine with a 37 kW heavy-duty motor.
The spherical roller bearings are housed in heavy external pillow blocks isolated from the cutting chamber by labyrinth seals and open air gaps, preventing polymer dust contamination.
Yes. VihoX offers matched cleated belt conveyors with bridge metal detectors that automatically stop the belt if stray metal tools or fasteners are detected.
The 37 kW model requires AC380V / 50Hz 3-phase power with an electrical supply branch rated for at least 100 Amps to handle star-delta startup surge currents.
Weighing up to 3.5 tons, the machine is anchored onto heavy steel skids and crated in fumigated export timber cases, engineered for direct flat-rack or standard 20ft container shipping.
