The VihoX 600 Offline Plastic Crusher is an economical, standalone industrial granulator engineered specifically for thermoforming facilities, cup making plants, and sheet extrusion operations. Featuring a heavy-duty 600 mm chamber width (crushing chamber dimensions: 600×320 mm) and an oversized 650×450 mm top feed hopper, this unit pulverizes rigid thermoplastic scrap into uniform, reusable regrind. It processes PP, PS, PET, PVC, ABS, PE, and HIPS across sheet skeletons, trimmed cup rims, thermoformed food containers, and thick plastic offcuts.
Driven by a high-torque 15–18.5 kW main motor operating with 4 fixed stator knives and 18 rotating rotor blades crafted from wear-resistant SKD-11 or DC53 alloy steel, the VihoX 600 delivers consistent throughput of 300 to 350 kg/h. Designed for flexible manual batch feeding or continuous inclined conveyor loading, the machine includes an interchangeable 12–18 mm discharge screen, optional air-conveying blower with cyclone collection, and sound-dampening acoustic enclosure maintaining operation within 75–95 dB.

The cutting rotor of the VihoX 600 offline crusher features a staggered multi-blade claw layout. Instead of impacting scrap along a single horizontal axis, the 18 rotor knives contact material sequentially in a scissor-shear action. This cutting dynamic substantially decreases peak electrical torque, prevents rotor stalling when bulky rejected container stacks are dropped into the hopper, and minimizes thermal degradation of heat-sensitive polymers such as PET and PLA.
Both rotating and stationary knives are manufactured from high-grade Japanese SKD-11 or DC53 cold-work die steel, heat-treated to HRC 58–62. This metallurgical standard offers exceptional resistance against chipping and abrasive wear when granulating highly filled mineral PP or brittle crystalline polymers. The cutter block features an external calibration jig, allowing technicians to pre-align blade clearances before bolting into the chamber, cutting changeover downtime in half.
The 300–350 kg/h output of the VihoX 600 crusher matches the throughput requirements of our core manufacturing lines:
The offline model operates independently to granulate batch scrap, defective cups, and bulky plastic parts, whereas inline models pull continuous sheet skeletons directly from thermoforming machines via motorized traction rollers.
When granulating clean unprinted PP, PS, or PET scrap, knives typically operate 300 to 500 production hours between regrinds. Each blade can be resharpened 4 to 6 times.
Yes. The high-inertia flywheel and staggered rotor knives easily shear thick extruder sheet purgings, runner channels, and molded container bases up to 10–15 mm thick.
Standard screens range from 12 mm to 18 mm. Smaller 8–10 mm screens are available for direct extruder hopper feeding where ultra-uniform particle size is critical.
Yes. Customers can select our optional blower fan and cyclone separator package, which conveys granulated flakes directly into storage silos or big-bag bulk stations.
The feed hopper and screen cradle are equipped with dual safety limit switches and mechanical stop pins that immediately cut motor power when opened for maintenance.
The machine operates on 380V / 50Hz 3-phase power with an installed motor rating of 15 kW (optional 18.5 kW for heavy-duty plastic scrap applications).
The crusher weighs approx. 1.0–1.5 T and is securely bolted inside a heavy-duty fumigated wooden case with anti-corrosion barrier wrapping for containerized ocean shipping.
