In early 2025, a client from Nairobi successfully installed our industrial plastic shredder in Kenya for processing large volumes of packaging and rigid plastic waste.
Background: Growing Demand for Waste Volume Reduction
With the rapid growth of the packaging and plastic goods industry in Kenya, many manufacturers and recyclers are now facing the challenge of managing large volumes of post-industrial plastic waste. Most of this waste—such as used containers, packaging film, and foam—occupies significant space and is difficult to handle manually.
To solve this, a Nairobi-based recycling company approached us in early 2025, looking for a durable, high-capacity industrial plastic shredder to improve processing efficiency and reduce material volume for storage and transport.
Why Model-1000 Double Shaft Shredder?
After evaluating several solutions, the client selected our Model-1000 double shaft industrial plastic shredder in Kenya, known for its ability to handle mixed and tough plastic materials with stable output and low maintenance requirements.
Model-1000 is a high-capacity, industrial-grade twin-shaft shredder, built with durability and power in mind. It is capable of crushing a wide range of materials, including rigid plastics, foam, films, drums, wood, and light metals.
Why Model-1000 is Ideal for Plastic Pipe Shredding in Africa
One of the main challenges in plastic recycling across many African regions is dealing with bulky and hard plastic pipes, especially HDPE and PVC types, commonly used in water supply and drainage infrastructure. These pipes are rigid, tough, and often come in mixed sizes.
The industrial plastic shredder in Kenya is specifically built for such materials. With two 30kW motors, alloy blades, and a heavy-duty gearbox system, it offers outstanding torque and stability. The wide feeding port also allows the machine to accept large-diameter pipes without manual pre-cutting.
Key Specifications of Plastic Crushing Machine
Dual motor drive with alloy steel knives, so that the equipment has a strong cutting ability, can efficiently crush plastic drums, foam boards, packaging film, hard plastic parts, and other materials. The processed materials can be directly fed into the washing or pelletizing process.

Cooperation Process of Industrial Plastic Shredder Machine
After discussing the customer’s material type, space layout, and voltage requirements (415V, 3-phase), we tailored a Model-1000 solution. The machine was produced and tested within 25 working days, and it was delivered to Kenya as scheduled.
To ensure the equipment arrives safely and in good condition, the Model-1000 shredder was carefully packaged and loaded into a 20-foot container using a forklift and steel reinforcements. Our team provided detailed loading photos and real-time logistics tracking for the customer.
Client Feedback on Industrial Plastic Shredder in Kenya
Since commissioning, the customer has significantly improved their processing capacity, reducing foam, barrels, and film waste volume by over 70%, and cutting labor costs.
“The industrial plastic shredder in Kenya is powerful and reliable. We were surprised how it handles both soft and rigid plastics with ease.”—-Joseph Mwangi, the project manager in Kenya.
Encouraged by the results, the customer plans to expand the line with a 塑料洗衣机, a plastic pelletizing machine, and a 塑料带切割机, building a fully integrated recycling system.
Conclusion
The Model-1000 industrial plastic shredder in Kenya stands as a strong example of how durable, efficient recycling equipment can solve real-world waste challenges in emerging markets.
As more African countries invest in circular economy initiatives, we’re committed to providing localized solutions with global-standard quality and service.
