Hello Kunststoffschmiede
Big up for the bike shredder!
What you did is amazing.
We also developed a shredder bike but we struggled keeping it both smooth and powerful.
As we are doing workshops with kids we prioritize a design that make it seamless and smooth to cut the plastic we it makes it very slow.
What we did is to add lots of gear, to keep it powerful and we changed a bit the design of the blades.
The limits of the bike for us is that it can shred only small or soft pieces such as bottle caps. If we try bigger pieces what happened is that the chain jump out or the belt break.
Our shredder bike is easy to move around because it’s very stable but the blade box makes it very heavy.
We shipped the machines from Shanghai to Beijing several times and the bike never got any damages.
My question is how do you make the bike smooth to ride and have enough power to shred? Do you pre-shred the pieces?
Thanks,
Adele
