- NEW - Lots of people have been asking me for plans for this machine, so I have now uploaded these to Patreon- / andysmachines These are plans to build the shredder box you see me make in this video, starting at 04:00. You can join my Patreon for just $1.
This is a machine I built for shredding plastic bottles so I can recycle them, using the flakes for injection and compression moulding new items.

man all the order you must be getting for this.. I guess you make a good living doing your daily job that you dont have any need to make these for the viewers... the $1.50 for the one month membership for your patreon is a bargain to get your plans for this. You should get a gofundme in the works for producing these on a mass scale. Many of us want this shredder!
This is by far the best plastic shredder I’ve seen yet. Thanks for sharing.
@anusuya k recycling it back to new projects or any needs like mold injection or 3D printing and etc.
Inside small percentage oil have possible for recycling.??? Oil can need washing ???
All i can say i Wow! I was so amazed! Beautiful machine, loved the sound of the shredded plastic.
@@sarathchandran5088 Plastic has to be perfectly cleaned, oils produce toxic smokes during melting and the new plastic part becomes contaminated.
Absolutely beautiful job!! I have wanted one of these for so long. 👍👍👍👍
great build. useful trick with installing bearings. put them in the freezer the night before install and they slide right in.
Too date the best I have seen. I specifically require one to tackle the problem of the enormous amount of plastic bottles on hundreds if not thousands of Construction sites here in Melbourne Australia. As I have many clients my job is setting up my team to clean up Construction waste. So rather than a machine in a fixed environment I require the machine to be portable and operating off the tray of my truck (s). I am hopeful you will build and sell this machines and inclusive do mobile machines.
Impressive build.
Nice video !!
Nice job.
You have a WINNER there Andy when you going to start production because they would sell like hotcakes if the price was set right. Cheers for the video. mike from the UK
you could skip the gear part since they could be bought at around 3-4$ ready from ebay china, but what you can buy are these theeths.
@@hyperhektor7733 do you have links?
@@crapjuice470 yes i recomment mod1 or bigger like mod 1,5 or mod 2 (google gears on wiki if you dont know what that means)
ebay.com (international shipping) (show all results ) (from low to highest price) www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313.TR9.TRC1.A0.H0.Xsteel+gear+mod.TRS1&_nkw=steel+gear+mod&_sacat=12576&LH_TitleDesc=0&LH_PrefLoc=0&_sop=15&_osacat=12576&_odkw=steel+gear&LH_BIN=1&LH_FS=1&_blrs=recall_filtering

You'd never need to put your recycling bin out all year with this :)
This ranks up high on the "satisfying to watch scale":
1 - Botfly Removal
2 - Zit Popping
3 - Plastic Shredding Machines.
Nice work! This machine looks great
Hey Andy Well done ... great machine and detailed clear video .... previously I have seen DIY shredder from Precious Plastic but I think yours improves the simple recycling process ..... hardened cutters and steel gear work should last for years ... maybe let people know where you are at and if you plan to sell ... what cost ... I am from Australia and there are few fabricators who ship out of Europe ... Greg Brugman
I am very very very very impressed ! By far the most satisfying video of making plastic shredder.
well I am very very very very very impressed....LOL
Very professional- well done
Beautiful milling machine, wonderful lathe, excellent cutting tools... yet, no bandsaw?
They are actually quite small hobby machine tools and I've run out of space for a bandsaw!
*Lovely Gears!*
Great job
Nice bit of work with the Allen wrench driveshaft; I'll tuck that one in a grey cell.
Very nice job. Problem is most DIYers don't have a lathe or milling machine not for those that do here is a great project.
True, but if you're into making things and have even a small shed or garage I'd really recommend getting some basic machine tools and learning how to use them, it really opens up many possibilities and you can start small and cheap.
@@AndysMachines when I was young 50+ years ago I worked in a machine shop as a apprentice tool and die maker. Shortly after starting I go my draft notice from Uncle Sam.
If I was younger I might invest in a small lathe.
Hello I want to build one, where can I find the schematics thanks!!!
Thanks Andy... God bless you....
Okay, impressive machining skills. How much for a machine like that?
I love this little machine... I think you could have a few orders, as many of us are impressed with such a great little machine. Any idea of how much it will cost to purchase. Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas with the world more videos like this needed, and if you are going to be producing these I would be interested in the cost of the unit.
Got me a nice mini shredder, Just need the setup like yours. You did a pro job with your setup! Im still hand cranking it but I'll get there!
Do you sell the machines or the parts to build it myself?
Noice! Er, Noyes!
What a superb device!
“When it absolutely, positively has to be shredded … this.”
Hello! Can you share the blueprints including the electrical connection please? I plan to build this kind of machine for a half year and your design is briliant! This is amazing, and your machinery is awesome! This is a pure handmade. My respect for you !!!!
Look up precious plastics, they have all the blueprints for different machines
hi!! very nice job :) Does your design work for it to be hand crancked? thanks!
It work work if you replaced the motor with a hand crank, but it would be very slow.
Can I buy one of these
Thanks Andy this is an eye opener for the environment and us. i would like to purchase one for a start and there after i will be able to come to the party by making more. (those that are selling please come up )
Great job, Andy!
The electric motor you used is single phase?
Yes, single phase (I've answered your full question on Patreon)
what is status of building more?
For shredding 3d prints would be amazing
Ok now I have to try and build one of these. I want to be able to shred aluminum cans as well. Awesome video
Yes it shreds cans as well, check out my other video shredding aluminium cans, if anything they shred even nicer than plastic.
I need this machine. where can I get it?
Cnc milling machine and hacksaw nice...
Good job
I've been cutting HDPE all morning then I turned on You Tube on and your video was the first one that came up. It made me laugh a little I would love to get my hands on your plastic shredder to make my it easy for me. Are you planning on making them for sale or just the one you have for yourself. Its very nice and I know it wouldn't be cheap to buy one like yours if you're planning on manufacturing them please send me a link to your webpage. Thank you so much for sharing your video with us.
Hey Vyran, I'm pretty new to recycling and looking to get a PET Shredder(for PET Bottles). You know anywhere i could purchase one?
the 'Precious Plastics bazaar' has similar designs and many forms of machine to shape the plastic into new products.
you could buy a used woodchopper, there are 2 types.
The fast and loud ones with spinning blades (good for thin material)
and the slow and more quieter ones which you need for more solid plastic (no foils) its the best option i found
"What you can make if you own a full machine shop" :P
Well I don't know about 'full' machine shop, it's a home hobby shop in a garage and much smaller and less well equipped than many you see on youtube (eg. about 10x smaller than Abom's)
Can we chip the polyethylene bags, Maggi covers etc. If so I need one. Send me quotation.
I am by this machine
Thanks for good machine's information
I would like to add shredded plastic to some concrete projects
Why is that? What benefit would adding shredded plastic to concrete accomplish?
I'm trying to learn metal working on lathes and mills at RUclips University, and noticed at 11:50-11:51 that as your last step you went forward with the tool, and then once you hit the center region of the cylinder moved it right to shave a bit off the center cylinder in one pass.. is this a common final step to do once you shaved it down to where you want it, to then continue to shave one last time on the center part as a way to make it all continuous and smooth at the crease? So basically dont shave down the center part to the exact measurement and save a little meat for when you finish shaving the outer ring that you will shave off that little extra meat on that last pass? Hopefully my question isnt too noob and you understand what Im asking. I still havent learned much of the terminology used for the parts and methods.
I had to re-watch the video to work out what was going on, but yes, this was a finishing pass, a final light cut taken usually at higher rpm to produce a good finish at the required dimension.
Where can I get or build one. I live in a complex of 90 units
شكرا لك عمل جاد.
Thank you, good job.
Love it! What is the cutter's width? 5-6mm?
Yes, they are 6mm.
Do you know “precious plastic “project....Dave Hakkens
thanks to sharing this video, i was looking for a good home made shredding machine and now i got it. Do you think your machine can shredd small wood?
Yes, I'm sure it will shred wood, but I'm not going to try it because I don't want it full of sawdust and splinters! (It would probably contaminate the clean plastic I usually shred). It has no problem shredding hard plastic and soft metal, check out my 'will it shred' playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL7T9LOrvm0qJlVS9kMZRf9sp3FPf89Huw
Safety system: you can isolate (electrically) cone from other device and add measure resistance circuit between cone and other parts of shredder. Plastic is not conductive. If conduction between the cone and the shredder is detected (human's hand 🙄), the motor will be turned off. I wish you success.
I've seen this done on table saws but it's really not necessary with the interlocked lid (I show this overridden for clarity) and it would be hard to electrically isolate the cutters from the frame of the machine.
Neat machine - if you could cut the bottles into smaller pieces first, then fill the hopper so you could do other things while the machine works. LDPE from milk bottles - about $120 per metric ton. (1,000 KG). IF any molding company would buy it. Plastic MUST be clean and contamination free - most molders would not TRUST an independent working from a garage.
this machine is great! where can i get plans?
Looking to buy something like this, have any links?
Very careful work
To mašino bi tudi jas imel doma, samo kje jo lahko kupil in koliko stane lp
I am interesting in buy this machine. Are you selling? From Ontario california.
Nice man!!! If it's not for sale... Have any plans for me to build my own?
Plans now here: www.patreon.com/AndysMachines
Great machine! Will it do hard plastics? (E.g. prescription vials, water jugs, etc)
Looks like an awesome machine. Can all plastics be melted and reused or do you need to separate and only use specific types of plastic? I assume you are working on an injection moulding machine next?!
Frank U need 2 separate the different types plastics.
Hi, just for curiosity how much 100 pounds of shredded plastic worth for sale to a plastic company ? How much will they pay for it ?
Nothing, they have no way to trust you one what types of plastics are in the batch. Even the same types of water bottle have different blends of the same type of plastic. Its much cheaper to just buy virgin plastic pellets for big companies like that
@@emersoncoelho7187 LDPE from milk bottles - about $120 per metric ton. (1,000 KG). IF they will buy it. Plastic MUST be clean and contamination free - most molders would not TRUST an independent working from a garage.

How many HP is the motor did you use?
Just 1/2 HP (370W)
Ok love it. But I would love to get some of your cutting blades but from what you posted on the update. I don't think you would be willing to make them. Cool thanks.
Very impressive, may i ask the cutting force of this shredder machine
Cómo hago para averiguar sobre el molino para envases plasticos
Nice piece of work! Do you sell it? At what price, including shipping cost? I am from Spain
nice one.
Is this shredder for sale? If so how much? What was the voltage used by the motor? Very talented making it from scratch!
No, sorry. It's not for sale, I just built it for my own use. It's a 230v single phase motor but it's standard frame size so could be changed for a different type.
Could you use this to shred cans? Like alumnium or tin cans?
Yes, in fact I did another video on that. It shreds aluminium cans very well, maybe even better than plastic.
Great video, and props on the machining skills to make all the parts into a fine product at the end. The only thing that I would like to see is a plunger used instead of a priceless hand when pushing difficult pieces through the shredder blades. You can always make another plunger . . .
I agree with using something other than a hand to push down on parts! Definitely a very useful machine. But gotta have some safety measure in place!
It does have a safety interlock which means it will only run with the lid closed, but I included a key-locked override for my own use (this was useful for filming with the lid open).
How much is this machine cost and can you demonstrate like syringe and needle to be shred.
How do you build the Auto Jam Detection? Or where did you buy it?
Do you have the blueprint.? What is the thick ness of shredder blades?
Would this work for carboard to make it like a powder
You would probably have to re-shred it multiple times and sieve it to get powder. I think you'd be better of with something like a high speed granulator.
Nice machine ....what is daily production and price ??
Pls reply i m interested to purchase it
Thanks n regards
Very good
Plz price
May I ask how you coupled the drive motor to the shredder gears?
With a 'jaw coupling' You can see it on the left of the screen at 3:40 it drives one of the shafts on the other side of the machine to the gears.
@@AndysMachines Yes, I can see what I think to be either an Anderson or perhaps a Lovejoy high torque shaft coupler on the left at 3:40 but in the shot at 0:09 the drive motor axis seems to be at 90 degrees to the shredder axis and I was wondering how you transferred the torque through that 90 degrees. But perhaps the shredder and drive axis are in line.
There is a worm gearbox between the motor and the shredder axle, this turns the output through 90°, you can see it on the left at 00:53
@@AndysMachines Ah. Thank you. I see it now. It's the arrangement on the left with the structural reinforcement fins. May I ask what the reduction ratio is?
Yes, it looks a little different to a normal gearmotor as this gearbox was originally for a different motor and the square box between the motor and gearbox is an adaptor I had to build to connect the two together. The reduction ratio is around 60:1
how did you add the auto reverse function
Hi there, I am actually looking for this type of shredder machine. Does it only shred plastic? How about cans, glass bottles? Regards.HLE
Check out some of my other videos where I've demonstrated it shredding cans, wire and other things. I doubt it would work well with glass, I haven't even tried it. ruclips.net/p/PL7T9LOrvm0qJlVS9kMZRf9sp3FPf89Huw
Interesting. How did you design this? How does the electrics work out?
3:18
ooops maybe should have went with a full horse power motor
but eh it probably doesn't jam enough to warrant spending the extra money for higher power motor
I think you've missed the point a little, this was to demonstrate the auto-reverse function. Yes I could use a bigger motor, but then I'd also need a bigger gear box, couplers, shafts, gears and everything else to avoid breaking something. This machine was designed to be small, light and efficient.
@@AndysMachines Hi :o) I think you read into things too far and/or didn't read all of my comment. My reply wasn't based on your motives of just doing your video as a demonstration.... my reply was just a general observance of seeing that it jammed sometimes and therefore would need a bigger motor or whatever else to overcome the jam. If you click "read more" under my initial comment, you would see that I followed it with saying "but eh it probably doesn't jam enough to warrant spending the extra money for higher power motor" and this would obviously include spending more time/work and replacing more parts just to overcome a jam that happens now and then
Hi! Sorry didn't mean to sound critical, yes I did see all of your message. My approach was to have the machine solve the jamming problem intelligently rather than just beef everything up adding cost and weight and running at a much higher power than is needed for 99% of the time.
@@AndysMachines
No problem and hope you have a good day :o)
you should be selling these things. I have not able to find a home plastic shredder anywhere yet. only commercial ones that cost thousands of dollars.
Hello, How many are the final revolutions of the gearmotor ( range)? Thanks
It's about 25 rpm, but anything below 60 rpm works fine. Too fast and the teeth tend to knock things out of the way instead of grabbing them.
Very nice! I am interested in buying parts.
Price?????
Cuts hex key with grinder, cuts 12mm flat bar with hacksaw. 🤔
17mm hex key. SS Hex bar would do.
The hex key was too hard for the hacksaw (S2 tool steel) or I would have cut that with a hacksaw too 😉. There's a lot of torque on this shaft, stainless or mild steel might just shear off at the shoulder, which is why I used the hex keys instead of regular hex bar.
Hello, good morning, I congratulate you, great mill.
a question?
I have a similar mill and I would like to implement the automatic turn inversion system.
Can you help me how can I do it?...
would this shred acrylic scraps?
Yes, quite easily, acrylic is brittle and breaks easily.
great but if i put that in my recycling bin it will get dismissed as micro plastic and not ready shredded plastic get the idea tho
Hello Andy, where is your website? Where I can contact you? I need to buy one of this machines! Thanks

Good
Молодец, браво, у вас золотые руки, я хотел бы узнать, я хочу приобрести точно такой же мини экструдер, как можно доставить до Казахстана? Во сколько мне обойдется этот мини экструдер? Спасибо.
Where did you get the reverse control circuit or if you made it how?
I made it, it's just a microcontroller and 2 relays.
If it were for sale, how much would you sell the plastic shredder machine for?
I've seen similar ones for 500-1000GBP, but I don't build machines for sale and I would find it hard to compete with those prices.
Great video! What are your motor's specifications?
motor tag closeup at 0:58 hope that helps.

Would this work for copper wire?
That's an interesting idea, I might have to try it. Just bare wire (no insulation)? And how thick?
@@AndysMachines yes just bare wire. I already have a wire stripping machine and want to chop the wire to not take up as much room. Probably 12 gauge and smaller
@@bobkeller8383 See here for the answer: ruclips.net/video/tH6aqUTGFFQ/видео.html
How is this machine's productivity rated?
It can do up to 300 milk jugs an hour (12 seconds each one) which is approx 10 Kg/hour
I love this sound😘😘
