ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher for Recycling 2.2kW 120-150kg/h | ZILLION
Injection molding workshops processing production scrap require heavy-duty crushing reliability at compact-machine pricing. The ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher delivers 120-150 kg/h throughput with reinforced rotor assembly, hardened steel gearbox, and the SKD-11 blade system that handles injection molding scrap (sprues, runners, off-spec parts) day after day without premature wear.

For injection molding workshops, 'heavy duty' at 2.2 kW refers to the build quality that handles continuous operation on injection molding scrap, not the power class itself. The ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher features: reinforced rotor shaft (40 mm diameter vs 30 mm standard), hardened steel gearbox (surface-hardened to 55 HRC), and SKF-grade bearings (rated for 8,000 hours continuous service).
For injection molding workshops running 8-hour shifts producing 30-80 kg/h of sprue and runner scrap, the ZL-PC180 heavy-duty build matches the scrap generation rate. The reinforced rotor shaft handles the cyclic loading that lighter-duty competitor machines cannot sustain over multi-year operation.
The ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher uses SKD-11 blades with 58-60 HRC hardness that retain a working edge through 600-800 hours of injection molding scrap service. Each blade is reversible (two cutting edges per blade), yielding 1,200-1,600 hours of service per blade set. The blade replacement schedule for injection molding workshops: 1 set every 6-8 months (assuming 2,000 operating hours/year).
For injection molding workshops comparing ZL-PC180 SKD-11 blades to competitor machines using cheaper blade steel, the durability difference is substantial. Competitor blades typically require replacement every 200-300 hours (3-4 sets per year vs 1 set per year for ZL-PC180). The annual blade cost savings: USD 240-320 for injection molding workshops running the ZL-PC180.
Injection molding workshops generate three scrap types: sprues (the channel through which plastic enters the mold), runners (the distribution channels connecting sprues to part cavities), and off-spec parts (rejected finished parts). The ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher processes all three types at the rated 120-150 kg/h throughput with the 6-blade rotor geometry designed for clean cutting without overheating the plastic.
For sprues and runners, the 8 mm standard screen produces flake suitable for direct re-injection after color verification. For off-spec parts, color sorting may be required if the workshop runs multiple colors. The ZL-PC180's 260 x 210 mm feed opening accepts sprues up to 200 mm length without pre-cutting, simplifying the workflow.
For injection molding workshops, the closed-loop scrap recovery economics are compelling. The ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher processes sprues and runners into reusable flake that substitutes for virgin resin. The savings calculation: virgin resin cost USD 1,200-1,800/tonne vs recovered flake cost USD 200/tonne (electricity + labor) = USD 1,000-1,600/tonne savings.
For a small injection molding workshop producing 50 tonnes/year of scrap, the closed-loop savings are USD 50,000-80,000 annually. The ZL-PC180 capital cost (USD 630) is recovered in 3-9 days of closed-loop operation. Most injection molding workshops report full payback within 2-4 weeks of installation.
Injection molding workshops often have limited floor space dedicated to scrap processing. The ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher's compact 670 x 310 x 700 mm frame and 130 kg weight fit alongside the injection molding machine without requiring additional floor space. The footprint (0.21 m²) is smaller than a standard office desk.
For injection molding workshops in shared industrial spaces, the ZL-PC180's compact frame allows positioning adjacent to the molding machine with minimal disruption to other operations. The 78 dB noise level (without acoustic enclosure) is acceptable in most industrial settings but may require the optional USD 280 acoustic enclosure for workshops located near offices.
The ZL-PC180 Heavy Duty Plastic Crusher is designed for 5+ year continuous service under workshop operating conditions. Key reliability features: sealed-for-life bearings (8,000-hour rated service life), reinforced rotor shaft (20-year fatigue life), cast iron housing (corrosion-resistant), and SKF-grade seals on all rotating interfaces.
For injection molding workshops evaluating long-term equipment investments, the ZL-PC180's 5-year reliability record (with 95% uptime availability) makes it the cost-effective choice for heavy-duty workshop applications. Most workshops replace the entire machine after 8-10 years of service rather than performing major repairs, finding replacement more cost-effective than rebuilding.
Q: Is 2.2 kW sufficient for injection molding scrap?
Yes, for sprues and runners up to 80 kg/h generation rate. The ZL-PC180 matches this rate with 50% throughput reserve. For larger injection molding machines (500+ ton clamping force) generating 100+ kg/h of scrap, the PC250 (4 kW) or larger is recommended.
Q: How often does the rotor shaft require inspection?
Annual inspection is recommended for ZL-PC180 heavy-duty service. The rotor shaft inspection checks for: bearing alignment (within 0.05 mm tolerance), shaft straightness (within 0.02 mm), and seal condition (no oil leaks). Inspection takes 30 minutes with standard tools.
Q: Can the machine process glass-fiber-reinforced plastic?
Limited. Glass-fiber content above 15% accelerates blade wear and may cause rotor imbalance over time. For glass-fiber reinforced materials, the PC250 or larger with optional carbide-tipped blades is recommended.
Q: What is the warranty on heavy-duty operation?
1 year on motor, gearbox, and main structural components. Bearings and blades are wear items. Warranty is void if blades are run on incompatible materials or if the machine is operated without the specified screen installed.
Q: Can the ZL-PC180 be integrated with injection molding machine automation?
Limited integration. The ZL-PC180 accepts manual feed or simple conveyor feed. For automated integration with injection molding machine robots, the PC300 or larger with PLC interface is recommended. The ZL-PC180 is best suited for manual or semi-manual operation.
