Yes, absolutely. Diesel-powered plastic crushers are a standard and crucial product offering, especially for applications where electricity is unreliable, unavailable, or where maximum mobility is required.
Customizing the foot stand (or base frame) is precisely correct and is a key part of the engineering for diesel models. Here’s a breakdown of what this entails and the typical features of such machines:
Key Features & Modifications for Diesel-Powered Plastic Crushers:
o Reinforced Base Frame / Stand:
o The stand must be designed to accommodate a diesel engine instead of an electric motor. This often means:
o A longer and heavier-duty base frame to support the engine's footprint and weight.
o Specific mounting points and brackets engineered for the vibration and torque of a diesel engine.
o Power Transmission System:
o Instead of a direct-coupled electric motor, a diesel crusher uses a pulley and V-belt drive system.
o This system includes:
§ A diesel engine (e.g., 20HP, 30HP, 50HP ).
§ A heavy-duty flywheel and clutch pulley on the crusher's rotor shaft.
§ Multiple V-belts to transfer power from the engine to the crusher. The number and type of belts are calculated based on the required horsepower and crushing force.
o Mobility (Optional but Common):
o Many diesel crushers are mounted on a single-axle or double-axle trailer with wheels.
o This creates a fully mobile crushing unit that can be towed directly to plastic waste sites (e.g., landfills, farms, large factories, remote recycling yards).
o Robust Construction:
o The entire machine is built to handle the higher vibrations and rugged use typical of diesel engines in industrial or outdoor environments.
Primary Advantages of Diesel-Powered Plastic Crushers:
· No Electricity Dependency: Perfect for remote areas, developing regions, or mobile recycling operations.
· High Torque & Power: Diesel engines provide excellent torque for starting under load and crushing tough, bulky plastic items.
· Mobility: Can be easily moved to the source of waste, reducing transportation costs for bulky plastics.
· Reliability: Simple, mechanical power source that works independently of the grid.
Ideal Applications:
· In-field recycling of agricultural film (wrap, silage bags).
· Construction site waste management (crushing pipes, sheets, barriers).
· Remote bottle collection and pre-processing centers.
· Municipal waste management in areas with unstable power.
· Mobile recycling businesses that service multiple locations.
XINYI MACHINERY, as a leading manufacturer would certainly offer these diesel-powered plastic crushers. Their customization process would typically involve:
1. Consultation: Determining the material type (PET bottles, HDPE drums, PE pipes, film) and required capacity.
2. Engineering: Designing the crusher (rotor type, screen size, chamber size) and pairing it with the appropriate diesel engine power.
3. Manufacturing: Building the crusher with the reinforced base frame, installing the power transmission system (pulleys, belts, guards), and integrating the diesel engine.
4. Testing: Running the complete unit to ensure performance, safety, and durability.
In summary, diesel-powered plastic crushers are not just available but are a fundamental solution for off-grid and mobile recycling needs. The modification to the foot stand and drive system is the critical engineering change that makes them possible.
