Plastic crusher blades with slotted mounting holes

Built around the complete cutting relationship

A plastic crusher blade is a steel cutting component used inside a machine that reduces plastic feedstock. It is not a blade made from plastic. Moving knives, fixed knives, mounting seats and cutting clearances work together inside the machine.

Reference formats250–650 model configurations + common sizes
Blade rolesMoving knives and fixed knives
Supply routeReference sizes or custom fitment
01 / Material being processed

Plastic feedstock

Discuss ABS, PE, PP, bottles, film, sheets, pipes or production scrap together with feed size and contamination. The blade material is selected separately.

02 / Position

Moving or fixed

Confirm whether the part is a rotor knife, fixed knife or a complete matched set before comparing dimensions.

03 / Geometry

Mounting and clearance

Hole pattern, seat, cutting direction, thickness and rotor-to-fixed-knife clearance determine the practical fit.

Applications for plastic crusher blades

Start with the material form and working condition, then confirm the machine, blade position and mounting details before choosing a replacement.

01 / Rigid plastics

Pipes, profiles and sheets

For rigid plastic pipes, profiles and sheets where feed size, thickness and cutting clearance must be checked together.

02 / Molded parts

Crates, containers and housings

For rejected molded parts, crates and hard plastic housings that need a suitable moving and fixed knife arrangement.

03 / Flexible plastics

Film and woven bags

For film, woven sacks and flexible plastic feedstock where feeding behavior, wrapping risk and rotor geometry matter.

04 / Containers

PET bottles and hollow containers

For empty plastic bottles and containers prepared for size reduction; confirm the machine opening and feed arrangement first.

05 / Factory scrap

Production offcuts and rejects

For injection-molding runners, extrusion trim and production rejects where the actual piece size controls the blade review.

06 / Mixed plastic

Post-industrial plastic components

For sorted mixed hard-plastic pieces and recycling feedstock; remove metal contamination and confirm the working duty before quotation.

Choose the blade role before comparing dimensions

Plastic crusher blades are selected by the job they perform inside the machine—not by the word “plastic” alone.

01 / Moving knife

Rotor knives

Mounted on the rotor and working through the cutting chamber. Confirm the rotor position, quantity, length, width, thickness, hole pattern and cutting direction.

02 / Fixed knife

Bed or counter knives

Stationary knives that work with the rotor knives. Confirm the seat, hole spacing, edge position and rotor-to-fixed-knife clearance.

03 / Matched set

Moving and fixed blades together

When both sides are replaced, review the pieces together so the profile, effective height and working gap remain compatible.

This page covers plastic crusher and granulator knife configurations for plastic size reduction. If your equipment uses a different low-speed shredder or shaft system, send a machine photo before choosing the blade family.

Reference configurations and common size formats

The HTML table below shows paired blade configurations for 250–650 model references. The common-size table below is a separate size and hole-spacing format. These are reference formats, not a universal cross-reference table. Dimensions and hole spacing must be confirmed against the machine or old blade.

Material and hardness reference

The available product information gives several material references. The final grade and treatment must be tied to the selected configuration and working duty.

Material options

65Mn · 9CrSi · SK5 · T10

These grades are reference options for review. They should not be treated as one interchangeable material family.

Hardness reference

HRC 52–55

This range is shown as a product reference. Confirm whether it applies to the selected grade, construction and order.

Special construction

Confirm before quotation

Any special edge, insert or construction requirement should be recorded on the approved drawing or written quotation.

08 / PACKING

Protective Packing and Dispatch

Protect inspected blades with suitable wrapping and packing before dispatch.

Typical workflow for reference only. Confirm the actual process and inspection scope with the quotation.

When should a plastic crusher blade be replaced?

Use the operating symptoms as a prompt for inspection. The correct replacement decision depends on the machine, feedstock and approved blade reference.

01 / Cutting quality

Edge wear and rougher output

A rounded or damaged edge can change cutting quality. Check the edge geometry, effective height and required output size.

02 / Structural damage

Chipping or cracking

Inspect corners, hole areas and the full cutting edge. Also check shock load, hard contamination, material selection and hardness.

03 / Mounting condition

Hole or seat damage

Elongated holes, burrs, damaged countersinks or seat wear can affect clamping, alignment and the working position.

04 / Machine condition

Unstable clearance

Vibration, noise or uneven cutting can come from the rotor-to-fixed-knife gap, mounting condition or an incorrect replacement profile.

What to confirm before dispatch

Use this checklist before approving production and protective packing.

Check 01

Dimensions and thickness

Match the approved drawing or sample and record the finished length, width, thickness and effective cutting height.

Check 02

Hole pattern and spacing

Confirm hole or slot count, diameter, centre spacing, countersink details and mounting orientation.

Check 03

Knife role and quantity

Record whether the order is for moving knives, fixed knives or a matched set, together with the required quantity.

Check 04

Edge and flatness

Review cutting geometry, effective edge height, flatness and the clearance needed in the machine.

Check 05

Material and hardness

Record the selected steel reference and target hardness against the approved quotation or technical reference.

Check 06

Packing and identification

Protect the cutting edge and identify the machine reference, blade role, quantity and approved drawing before dispatch.

From an old blade to a matched replacement

Keep the quotation tied to a clear technical reference from the beginning.

Send the reference

Share the machine model, blade position, old blade photo, drawing or measured dimensions.

Review fitment

Check geometry, hole layout, material, hardness requirement and working clearance.

Approve the quote

Record the approved dimensions, material, quantity and inspection requirements.

Produce to approval

Use the approved reference for production, inspection and protective packing.

Plastic crusher blade questions

Short answers for replacement and custom-supply buyers.

What does “plastic crusher blade” mean?

It is a steel cutting component used to reduce plastic feedstock inside a crusher or granulator. It is not a blade made from plastic.

Are these blades suitable for every plastic crusher?

No. The listed configurations are reference options. Confirm the machine model, blade position, mounting details, profile, hole layout and clearance before production.

Which reference formats are shown?

The page shows paired 250, 300, 400, 500 and 650 model configurations, plus a separate common-size and hole-spacing reference. These formats are not a universal cross-reference; confirm the actual machine fit before production.

Which materials and hardness are referenced?

The current references include 65Mn spring steel, 9CrSi, SK5 and T10. HRC 52–55 is shown as a reference range. Confirm the exact material and hardness for the selected configuration.

Why are there several 500-model combinations?

Different 500-model rows represent different moving/fixed-knife arrangements and hole layouts. They should not be treated as interchangeable without checking the machine and old blade.

Can you make a custom blade?

Yes, subject to a drawing, sample or complete fitment information. Send the machine model, blade position, dimensions, hole layout, material and quantity for review.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide the machine brand and model, old blade photos, dimensions, hole or slot details, material being processed, quantity and destination. A drawing or sample is preferred.
