The VihoX 700 Offline Plastic Crusher is an industrial-capacity scrap granulation system built for medium to large-scale thermoforming plants, blow molding shops, and sheet extrusion facilities. Featuring an expanded 700 mm chamber width (crushing chamber dimensions: 700×320 mm) and a wide 750×500 mm feed throat, this unit readily digests wide edge-trim rolls, nested takeout food containers, heavy cup lids, and thick plastic scrap parts.
Equipped with an energetic 15–22 kW drive and a 21-blade rotary claw cylinder shearing past 4 stationary anvils in SKD-11/DC53 tool steel, the VihoX 700 produces 450 to 500 kg/h of dust-free flake. It operates with manual or conveyor feeding, low 75–95 dB noise emission via double-walled acoustic baffles, and an optional high-volume cyclone collection hopper for closed-loop transport back to production lines.

The rotor assembly of the VihoX 700 features 21 precision-ground claw blades arranged along a triple-helix contour. As the rotor turns, each knife contacts material at a distinct micro-second interval, ensuring uniform power absorption and preventing sudden motor overloads. The dynamic scissor-action cuts cleanly through tough oriented polystyrene (BOPS) and high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) without shattering parts into irregular chunks or creating excessive static dust.
Equipped with an oversized dynamically balanced cast iron flywheel, the VihoX 700 stores kinetic energy that drives the rotor through dense container bundles and thick sheet slugs without hesitation. This mechanical design reduces thermal buildup in the cutting chamber, keeping polymers well below their heat distortion temperatures and ensuring that recycled flakes maintain pristine bulk density for automated vacuum loader transport.
The 450–500 kg/h capacity of the VihoX 700 offline crusher complements complete extrusion and thermoforming workflows:
The 21-knife staggered rotor configuration provides higher cut frequency per revolution, delivering roughly 30% higher hourly capacity and smaller initial flake size.
Yes. The 750×500 mm feed throat and wide 700 mm cutting chamber easily swallow bulky coils of skeleton scrap without requiring manual pre-cutting.
For abrasive APET and RPET materials, we recommend our premium DC53 tool steel blades, which feature superior edge toughness and high resistance to temper softening.
The feed hopper tilts back via a manual mechanical screw jack or gas-spring assist, providing wide-open access to the cutting chamber and quick-drop screen cradle.
Operating noise levels stay within 75–95 dB thanks to sandwich-construction sound insulation plates on the feed hopper and anti-vibration elastomeric machine feet.
Yes. The hopper inlet is designed with vertical splash baffles that allow direct discharge from rubber or modular plastic belt conveyors without scrap ejection.
The standard 22 kW motor operates on 380V / 50Hz 3-phase power, with a recommended electrical supply line rated at 60 Amps for peak startup demand.
VihoX offers a 12-month structural and drive warranty, pre-aligned replacement blade kits, and express DHL air courier dispatch for critical wear components.
