Jerrycan Shredder

Did you know that jerrycans or jerry cans were originally made of steel and used as military equipment? Nowadays, plastic jerrycans are more common. They are widely used as portable containers for fuel, gas, and other liquids. The capacity of plastic jerrycans ranges from 5 to 20 litres (1.3 to 5 Gallons).

Used plastic jerrycans can be recycled and processed into useful material again. However, they first need to be shredded and then granulated into smaller pieces. A number of Wiscon Jerrycan Shredders and grinders can be operated to do the job efficiently and smoothly.

Jerrycan recycling can be achieved by 3 ways: single shaft shredder, double shaft shredder and plastic granulator. Each comes with its pros and cons.
