Application Overview: The Apex Toothed Roller Crusher processes waste glass bottles and flat glass using low-speed extrusion and shearing mechanics[cite: 1]. This gentle compression method produces high-value cullet with low fines, making it ideal for glass remelting, glass fiber manufacturing, and building aggregates[cite: 1].

Flat Glass
Key Performance Features & Value Highlights
| Feature | Technical Specification | Recycling & Operational Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Fines Generation | Controlled under 10%[cite: 1] (vs. over 30% in hammer crushers)[cite: 1] |
Significantly less wasted glass powder[cite: 1]; final granules can go directly to remelting, bottle production, fiber, or aggregate lines[cite: 1]. |
| Particle Control | Adjustable 2 mm to 50 mm output via roller gap tuning[cite: 1]. | Natural fracture with passivated edges and few thin needle splinters[cite: 1]; simplifies washing and optical sorting[cite: 1]. |
| Feeding Mechanism | Specialized “wolf-tooth” roller surface profile[cite: 1]. | Firms grip on smooth, slippery glass surfaces[cite: 1], preventing slippage and material leakage for consistent feeding[cite: 1]. |
| Protection & Wear | High-alloy wear-resistant teeth[cite: 1] + hydraulic overload protection[cite: 1]. | Resists sharp glass abrasion[cite: 1]; automatically retracts rollers to prevent structural damage from tramp metal[cite: 1]. |

Key Operational Benefits for Glass Recycling
- Higher Commercial Value: Lower fines content (<10%) preserves material integrity, yielding high-purity cullet suitable for direct furnace remelting[cite: 1].
- Safer Handling & Downstream Sorting: Moderately passivated edges reduce extreme needle fragments[cite: 1], making the material safer and easier to handle during washing and color sorting[cite: 1].
- Reliable Tramp Protection: The integrated hydraulic protection retracts movable rollers instantly when non-crushable metal contaminants enter[cite: 1], ensuring uninterrupted operation and low maintenance overhead[cite: 1].
Summary: By combining targeted wolf-tooth shearing action with automatic hydraulic overload relief, the HSM Toothed Roller Crusher offers a highly durable, low-fines solution for converting waste glass into premium recyclable granules[cite: 1].
