This guide compares plastic shredders and crushers in 225 recycling operations. Shredders (25k−8k) handle high-volume mixed waste with output sizes of 2-2mm, consuming 22-45 kWh/ton. Crushers (8k−35k) specialize in clean post-consumer materials, producing 4-12mm granules at 12-28 kWh/ton. Case studies show shredders achieve 18-month ROI in Mexico after $2k annual blade sharpening, while Bangladesh-based crushers reach ROI in 14 months despite 25% higher energy costs. Market trends highlight 4% shredder adoption of chemical recycling units and 6% AI-equipped crushers improving purity by 98%. Steel price surges add 3k−8k to blade costs, while EU regulations mandate <25 kWh/ton for 5 kg/hr+ machines. For 2-5 kg/hr operations, budget 28k−41k including installation and first-year costs, emphasizing throughput capacity over initial price.
