Optimal Motor Power for PET Water Bottle Crushing
For crushing PET water bottles, the recommended electric motor power is no less than 22KW, with 30KW and above being the ideal choice for stable, high-efficiency industrial operations.
22KW minimum baseline: This power level supports a continuous processing capacity of around 200kg/h-600kg/h, perfectly suited for small to medium-scale PET recycling lines. It delivers sufficient torque to handle loose whole PET bottles without frequent stalling or motor overload, making it a cost-effective entry-level configuration for new recycling facilities.
30KW+ preferred industrial standard: This power tier typically delivers a throughput of 500-1000kg/h, with extra power margin to process pre-baled compressed PET bottle bricks without jamming. It ensures long-duration non-stop operation with stable energy efficiency, keeping unit power consumption at 60-100kWh per ton of crushed PET flakes, which is the most widely adopted configuration in professional recycling plants.
Large-scale production upgrade: For high-volume lines targeting 1000kg/h or higher, 45KW-110KW heavy-duty motors are available to meet processing demands.
