Innovative PP PE Plastic Film Shredding and Densifying Line
PP/PE Film Washing Line

PP/PE Plastic Film Shredding & Densifying Washing Line

From bale to clean, dense pellets/flakes. Process 200–1000 kg/h with stable moisture and high bulk density, designed for heavily contaminated films.

Why This Line Excels

Integrated process and configurable modules deliver clean, dense output suitable for transport and downstream processing.

End-to-End Efficiency

Continuous flow from bale shredding to densified output reduces handling steps and keeps line utilization stable.

Continuous workflow keeps shredding, washing, and densifying connected.
Lower manual handling means less downtime between process stages.
Modular configuration supports future upgrades without rebuilding the whole line.
Integrated line Less handling Upgradeable

High Bulk Density

Squeeze densifying turns loose washed film into compact output that is easier to store, transport, and feed downstream.

Approx. 350–410 kg/m³ improves logistics efficiency after washing.
Stable moisture control helps the material feed more consistently into pelletizing.
Denser output form reduces silo volume and transport cost per ton.
Dense output Moisture stable Feed-ready

Contamination Ready

Designed for dirty PP/PE film streams, the line removes mud, stones, paper, and labels through staged wet treatment.

Wet granulation starts cleaning while controlling flake sizing.
Sink/float separation removes heavy contaminants before final densifying.
Optional wash modules extend performance on highly soiled agricultural film.
Mud removal Heavy contaminants Dirty film
How It Works

Process Flow

From compacted bales to dense, reusable output, this line combines shredding, wet sizing, separation, and squeeze densifying in one continuous workflow.

Applications

Designed for a range of flexible PP/PE streams, from post-consumer film bales to heavily contaminated agricultural material.

Agricultural Film

Mulch film, greenhouse film, and similar dirty outdoor material can be processed with pre-sorting and optional stone-removal or hot-wash modules.

Woven & Raffia Bags

PP woven sacks, fertilizer bags, and raffia packaging can be opened, shredded, washed, and compacted into denser downstream-friendly output.

Densified Output Use

The compacted flakes or irregular pellets are suitable for feeding extruders, pelletizers, agglomerators, or direct shipment as washed material.

Contaminated Film Streams

Material carrying soil, paper, labels, moisture, and mixed light contamination can be treated through staged washing and density separation.

Select based on incoming bale volume, contamination, and staffing. Modular lines from 200 to 1000 kg/h with upgrade paths.

With wet granulation, sink/float, and optional friction/hot washing, you can reach ≤ 3–5% moisture and low impurity levels suitable for pelletizing.

Yes, with pre-sorting and optional modules such as a stone trap or hot wash. Heavily soiled films may reduce throughput slightly.

Yes. We provide layout design, commissioning support, and operator training with remote or onsite options.
