ZL-PC700 High Throughput Plastic Shredder 22kW 900kg/h
When 15 kW mid-range shredders cannot keep pace with industrial-scale recycling lines, the ZL-PC700 High Throughput Plastic Shredder delivers 700-1000 kg/h continuous throughput. The 22 kW motor and 21 SKD-11 rotating blades give large industrial facilities the capacity they need to feed downstream wash, separation, and extrusion lines at full rated throughput.

The ZL-PC700 uses a 22 kW three-phase induction motor with a service factor of 1.15 (25.3 kW peak). Continuous-rated torque at 1480 rpm motor speed is 142 Nm at the motor shaft, which after the hardened steel gearbox reduction (5:1 ratio) reaches 710 Nm at the rotor hub. That is 47% more torque than the ZL-PC600 15 kW unit (484 Nm at the rotor hub).
The extra torque headroom matters most on dense, thick-walled materials. For example, 6 mm wall HDPE pipe requires approximately 380 Nm rotor torque to cut cleanly. The ZL-PC600 operates at 78% of its torque capacity; the ZL-PC700 operates at 54%. Lower torque utilization means longer bearing life, lower motor current draw, and higher throughput under continuous service.
The ZL-PC700 rotor mounts 21 SKD-11 rotating blades paired with 4 SKD-11 fixed blades, giving 42 active cutting events per rotor revolution. Compared to 18-blade designs that reach 500-600 kg/h throughput ceiling, the 21-blade rotor maintains 700-1000 kg/h across the full 6-12 mm screen range.
Each SKD-11 blade holds a working edge through 800-1200 hours of continuous PET crushing service before requiring re-sharpening (vs 600-900 hours for the ZL-PC600's 18-blade design). The longer edge retention is partly due to the higher chromium content in PC700-spec SKD-11 (12% vs 11% standard) and partly due to the lower torque-per-blade loading (33.8 Nm/blade vs 26.9 Nm/blade for PC600).
The jump from 500 kg/h (ZL-PC600) to 900 kg/h (ZL-PC700) is a capacity tier change that requires different support infrastructure. For example, a ZL-PC600 needs 30A breaker; the ZL-PC700 needs 50A breaker with 16 mm squared copper cable. Plants upgrading from ZL-PC600 to ZL-PC700 must verify electrical infrastructure can support the higher current draw.
For new plant installations, choosing the ZL-PC700 over the ZL-PC600 typically makes sense when annual throughput exceeds 4,500 tonnes per year (8 hours/day x 250 days x 900 kg/h x 2.5 throughput factor). Below 4,500 tonnes/year, the ZL-PC600 is more cost-effective. Above 6,000 tonnes/year, the ZL-PC800 (1,000 kg/h continuous) becomes the better choice.
The ZL-PC700 gearbox is rated for 25.3 kW continuous service with hardened steel helical gears (DIN 6 grade, surface-hardened to 58 HRC). The gearbox oil capacity is 8 liters of ISO VG 220 industrial gear oil, with a 2,000-hour oil change interval under normal service conditions.
For plants running the ZL-PC700 in continuous service (8,000+ hours per year), the gearbox oil temperature stabilizes at 65-75 degC under load, well below the 90 degC thermal limit. Plants in tropical climates (35+ degC ambient) benefit from the standard oil cooler that maintains oil temperature below 80 degC indefinitely.
The ZL-PC700 is the workhorse machine for large Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) processing 20,000-50,000 tonnes of mixed plastic annually. A typical 30,000 tonne/year MRF runs 2 ZL-PC700 machines in parallel processing 60-70% of the plastic stream (the remaining 30-40% goes through smaller machines for specialty streams).
For a 30,000 tonne/year MRF, the 2 ZL-PC700 machines process approximately 20,000 tonnes/year, recovering 14,000 tonnes of sorted PET, HDPE, and PP for resale at USD 600/tonne average. Annual revenue: USD 8.4 million against USD 4.5 million operating cost, yielding USD 3.9 million net revenue shared between the MRF operator and material suppliers.
Q: What is the electrical infrastructure requirement?
22 kW at 380V three-phase draws approximately 42 amps per phase. A 50A breaker with 16 mm squared copper cable from the distribution panel is the minimum specification. Step-up transformer required for 220V infrastructure installations.
Q: Can the ZL-PC700 handle ABS automotive scrap with glass fiber reinforcement?
Yes, at 500-600 kg/h throughput (vs 900 kg/h for non-reinforced materials). Glass fiber content above 30% reduces throughput by an additional 20%. Carbide-tipped blade upgrade (USD 580) extends blade life from 800-1200 hours to 2400-3600 hours on glass-filled materials.
Q: What is the noise level during operation?
90 dB at 1 meter under full load. Acoustic enclosure (USD 2,200) reduces noise to 80 dB for factory-floor installation near workstations. Outdoor installation does not require enclosure.
Q: How does the ZL-PC700 differ from the ZL-PC800?
The ZL-PC800 (30 kW, 1000 kg/h continuous) handles larger feed openings (800x470 mm vs 710x420 mm), more blades (24 vs 21), and heavier materials (1800 kg vs 1000 kg machine weight). Choose ZL-PC800 for throughput above 25,000 tonnes/year or for large-diameter pipe processing above 500 mm diameter.
Q: What is the typical delivery time for a 5-unit order?
25-35 days from deposit for 1-5 units, 40-60 days for 10+ units. Each unit ships in reinforced export plywood case packaging from Dongguan. FOB Shenzhen, CIF, and DDP pricing available.
