ZL-PC500 Large Plastic Crusher 11kW 600-800kg/h Industrial | ZILLION
Large industrial plastic processing operations producing 4,000-8,000 tonnes per year need crusher capacity matched to their scale. The ZL-PC500 Large Plastic Crusher delivers 600-800 kg/h throughput at 11 kW, sized for large industrial operations where downtime costs exceed USD 2,000 per hour.

The ZL-PC500 Large Plastic Crusher delivers 600-800 kg/h throughput, marking the transition from mid-large to large industrial operations. At 11 kW power class, the ZL-PC500 supports recycling operations processing 4,000-8,000 tonnes annually, equivalent to 16-32 tonnes/day at single-shift operation.
For large industrial recycling operations, the ZL-PC500's 600-800 kg/h capacity matches the throughput of large MRFs processing 30,000-50,000 tonnes annually. The 11 kW motor provides torque reserve for the variable input streams typical of large industrial operations.
Large operations often evaluate the upgrade from 7.5 kW (PC400) to 11 kW (PC500). The capacity jump: PC400 delivers 400-500 kg/h at 7.5 kW; PC500 delivers 600-800 kg/h at 11 kW. The throughput per kW ratio: PC400 53.3-66.7 kg/h per kW vs PC500 54.5-72.7 kg/h per kW - similar efficiency, but absolute throughput is 1.5-1.6x higher on PC500.
For large operations where the PC400 becomes the bottleneck (operator must throttle feed or run extended hours), the PC500 eliminates this constraint. The USD 400 price difference (PC500 USD 1,650 vs PC400 USD 1,250) is recovered in 3-6 weeks of throughput improvement at large industrial volumes.
The ZL-PC500 Large Plastic Crusher integrates directly into large production lines with 6-meter integration conveyor (USD 1,800) and granulator-feed auger (USD 1,200) for in-line scrap recovery. The integrated system processes sprues and runners as they exit the molding machine, eliminating manual collection and transport.
For large injection molding operations running 6-10 machines producing 200-400 kg/h combined scrap, the integrated ZL-PC500 system recovers USD 50,000-80,000 annually in virgin resin savings (200-400 kg/h x 16 hours x 250 days x USD 0.5/kg). The integration cost (USD 4,650 = machine + conveyor + auger) is recovered in 1-2 months of operation.
The ZL-PC500 supports large Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) processing 30,000-50,000 tonnes per year of mixed plastic waste. At 700 kg/h average throughput and 16 hours/day operation, a single ZL-PC500 processes 4,000 tonnes annually. A typical 50,000 tonne/year MRF runs 10-12 ZL-PC500 machines in parallel for product-mix flexibility.
For large MRF operators, the ZL-PC500's 600-800 kg/h capacity supports: 2-3 municipal curbside collection streams, 5-8 commercial recycling contracts, or 1-2 industrial post-industrial streams. The flexible capacity match enables MRFs to scale with regional collection growth.
The ZL-PC500 requires 0.5 operator hours per 8-hour shift (30 minutes for visual inspection, screen checks, and feed-rate adjustment). The remaining 7.5 operator hours are available for other production tasks. For large industrial operations without dedicated crushing operators, the ZL-PC500's low operator requirement fits within existing labor allocations.
For 24/7 operations, the ZL-PC500 requires 1.5 operator hours per day across 3 shifts. At USD 8/hour loaded labor cost, the annual operator cost is USD 4,380 per machine. Most large operations assign crushing tending to the molding machine operator during natural production breaks.
For large industrial recycling operations running 8,000 hours per year, the ZL-PC500 5-year operating cost: purchase USD 1,650; electricity 11 kW x 8,000 hours x 5 years x USD 0.10/kWh = USD 4,400; blade replacement 10 sets x USD 280 = USD 2,800; bearing service USD 0 (sealed); labor USD 21,900; overhead USD 15,000. Total: USD 45,750.
At 700 kg/h throughput and 8,000 hours per year, the ZL-PC500 processes 5,600 tonnes of input material annually. Revenue at USD 600/tonne recovered flake = USD 3,360,000 gross. After subtracting the USD 45,750 5-year operating cost (USD 9,150/year), net annual contribution is USD 671,850. Payback period for the ZL-PC500: 1.8 months.
Q: What is the electrical infrastructure requirement?
11 kW at 380V three-phase draws approximately 21 amps per phase. A 32A breaker with 10 mm squared copper cable from the distribution panel is the minimum specification. Industrial operations running multiple units require dedicated crusher circuit panels.
Q: Can the ZL-PC500 run 24/7 continuous service?
Yes, with the standard oil cooler and predictive maintenance via the optional IOT gateway (USD 480). Most large industrial recycling operations achieve 95%+ uptime availability with the ZL-PC500 in 24/7 service.
Q: What is the typical delivery time?
25-35 days from deposit for 1-5 units, 35-50 days for 10+ units. EXW Dongguan pricing; FOB Shenzhen adds USD 50 per unit for shipping.
Q: How does the ZL-PC500 differ from the ZL-PC600?
The PC500 is 11 kW with 18 blades and 600-800 kg/h throughput. The PC600 is 15 kW with 18 blades and 500-800 kg/h throughput. The PC600 has heavier rotor assembly and better handles glass-fiber materials. The PC500 is the better value for general-purpose applications.
Q: What is the warranty on industrial service?
1 year on motor, gearbox, and main structural components regardless of operating hours. 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.
