Transform Your Plastic Waste: The Shredding Densifying Recycling Line
One of the significant benefits of utilizing a Plastic Film Shredding Densifying Line is the remarkable versatility of the compressed material. This densified output can be efficiently fed into a repelletizer, repurposed as raw material for manufacturing new products, seamlessly recycled, or responsibly disposed of. This empowers businesses with greater flexibility in managing their plastic waste streams and recyclables.
Transporting recyclables or waste presents a considerable challenge for companies striving for economy and efficiency. Loose, bulky materials consume excessive space, inflating transportation costs and negatively impacting the bottom line. Our innovative Plastic Film Shredding Densifying Recycling Line addresses this directly by compressing light, voluminous materials (like mixed plastic films or PP bags) into dense, compact forms that are significantly easier and cheaper to store and transport.
Key Advantages of Densification
Densifying plastic materials offers several compelling benefits:
- Increased Bulk Density: Significantly reduces the volume of plastic film waste, making storage and handling far more efficient.
- Reduced Transportation Costs: Denser material means more weight can be transported per truckload, drastically cutting logistics expenses.
- Improved Handling & Feeding: The uniform, densified material is easier to feed consistently into subsequent processes like pelletizing or chemical recycling reactors.
- Enhanced Recyclability: Produces a high-quality, denser feedstock preferred by many recycling facilities and repelletizing operations.
- Lower Carbon Footprint: More efficient transportation directly translates to reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
Notably, using densified plastic film for chemical recycling has become a prominent trend for processing PE and PP films in the USA and globally, highlighting the value of this pre-processing step.
Our Comprehensive Solution
Our Plastic Film Shredding Densifying Recycling Line offers a complete, turnkey solution for transforming dirty bales of PP/PE films into a densified product. This output is perfectly suited for chemical recycling applications or further processing into plastic granules via pelletizing. We provide standard line capacities ranging from 200kg/h up to 1000kg/h, and can readily customize manufacturing to meet your specific requirements.
Core Process Steps:
1. Shredding: Breaking Down Bales
Compacted bales of plastic film are initially fed into a robust shredder (often equipped with a movable hopper) to break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
2. Wet Granulation: Size Reduction & Initial Cleaning
The shredded material, still too large for efficient densifying, passes through a wet granulator. Water sprayed into the cutting chamber performs partial washing and reduces friction, cutting the shreds into small flakes.
3. Sink/Float Separation: Contaminant Removal
Flakes move through a sink/float tank. Heavier contaminants like dirt, sand, or stones sink, while the lighter plastic film flakes float, allowing for effective separation and further cleaning.
4. Squeezing & Densifying: The Core Transformation
This crucial stage utilizes a specialized squeezer dryer. A large screw conveys and compresses the clean, wet flakes, while controlled heating helps evaporate residual moisture and fuse the plastic. This transforms the film into irregular, densified pellets or agglomerates with a significantly increased bulk density (approx. 350-410 kg/m³) and very low moisture content (often below 3%). An optional secondary granulator can further refine the size if needed.
Our reliable, multifunctional squeezer dryer component can adeptly remove moisture from over 30% down to below 3% (ideal for material from a washing line), increase material bulk density up to 10 times, and effectively compact the processed plastic.
