Before operating the VEVOR Plastic Shredder Crusher, ensure proper setup and installation according to these guidelines.
1.1 Power Connection
This product operates on a 220V three-phase four-wire system. It does not come with a plug and requires professional wiring for use. Ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes and safety standards.
1.2 Machine Placement and Mobility
The unit is equipped with four wheels: two fixed front wheels and two rear 360-degree swivel casters. This design allows for easy movement and positioning of the machine. Place the shredder on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area.
2. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your plastic shredder.
2.1 Material Loading and Crushing Capacity
The shredder features a 5.5HP (4.0KW) pure copper motor with a 1750 RPM motor speed and an 8mm mesh size, providing a crushing capacity of 150-200 kg/h. It is designed to efficiently shred a wide range of materials including PC, PVC, ABS, PET, EPS, PU, HDPE, rubber, leaves, wood, and nylon. Use the convenient feed button for faster material loading and smoother feeding.
2.2 Blade System
The shredder is equipped with 8 SKD-11 alloy steel blades (6 rotating and 2 fixed). These blades are designed for high hardness and impact resistance, ensuring efficient crushing. The blades can be removed, polished, and reused when dull.
2.3 Safety Features
The machine incorporates dual safety protection for secure operation:
- Overload Protection: Automatic shutdown in case of motor overload.
- Power Interlock Protection: Automatic power cutoff when the lid is opened during operation.
2.4 Noise Reduction
The shredder features a double-layer soundproof design, consisting of double-layer steel plates and soundproofing cotton. This design minimizes noise and vibrations during operation. For optimal long-term ear protection, wearing earmuffs is highly recommended.

3. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your shredder.
3.1 Blade Care
The SKD-11 blades are designed to be removed, polished, and reused. Regularly inspect blades for sharpness and damage. If dull, remove and sharpen them. Note: Avoid shredding glass or metal, as this may damage the blades and the machine.
3.2 Cleaning and Inspection
The machine features manually removable lock nuts for quick disassembly, facilitating easy cleaning and regular maintenance. After each use, or as needed, clean out any accumulated material from the crushing chamber and the extended drawer. Ensure all safety mechanisms are free from debris and functioning correctly.
4. Troubleshooting
This section provides guidance for common operational issues.
4.1 Machine Not Starting
- Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and active (220V three-phase).
- Check if the lid is securely closed. The power interlock protection prevents operation if the lid is open.
- Verify that the emergency stop button, if present, is not engaged.
4.2 Reduced Crushing Performance
- Inspect the blades for dullness or damage. Sharpen or replace as necessary.
- Ensure the material being fed is within the recommended types and sizes.
- Check for any blockages in the feed inlet or crushing chamber.
4.3 Machine Stops During Operation
- This may indicate activation of the overload protection. Turn off the machine, clear any excessive material, and allow the motor to cool before restarting.
- Check for any foreign objects (e.g., metal, glass) that may have entered the crushing chamber and caused a jam.
