Crusher Prices

Plastic crusher prices in 2024 vary significantly based on technical specifications and service coverage. Mid-range units with 1, mm rotors cost $42,3 (9 kW motor, 1,2×900 mm feed opening), while heavy-duty 1,6 mm models reach $97,4 (16 kW motor, 25/12/8 mm screen options). Pricing disparities of up to $3, arise from differences in blade alloy durability, screen change speed, and regional repair access. Key hidden costs include PTFE-lined hoppers ($1,4), water-cooled chambers ($2,8), and annual blade maintenance ($48–$96). Industrial users with throughput over 800 metric tons/year achieve 7.8–1.2 month paybacks through reduced material costs ($.9/lb regrind vs. $0.4/lb baled film). Buyers should prioritize 3 mm thickness blades, rapid tool-free screen changes, and on-demand local parts availability (<48 hr response). Emerging technologies like AI-driven gap control and zero-interest lease-to-own options for models over $6k may also offer strategic advantages for operations preparing comprehensive budgets covering 12% of listed price in initial overheads.
