Transforming Waste into Value: How It Works
Bale Shredding
Compacted PP/PE film bales are broken down by a robust single-shaft shredder into smaller, manageable pieces.
Wet Granulation
Shredded film is cut into fine flakes in a wet granulator, which also provides initial washing.
Superior Cleaning
A sink/float tank effectively separates contaminants like mud and stones from the plastic flakes.
Densification
Cleaned film is dried and densified into irregular, high-density pellets by a specialized squeezer.
In-Depth System Capabilities
Key Operational Features
- Efficient Shredding Process: The system begins with a single-shaft shredder equipped with a movable hopper, effectively breaking down compacted bales of plastic films into manageable sizes.
- Advanced Wet Granulation: The shredded films are conveyed to a wet granulator/crusher, where heavy-duty knives rotating at high speeds cut the material into small flakes. A customisable screen controls the flake size, and water sprayed into the cutting chamber partially washes the material and acts as a lubricant to reduce friction.
- Superior Cleaning Mechanism: The sink/float tank serves as an effective cleaning station. Rotating paddles move the plastic flakes along a water-filled tank, allowing contaminants such as mud and small stones to sink to the bottom for removal.
- High-Density Output: The cleaned plastic film is then processed by a squeezer, where it is densified into irregular pellets using a large screw and heaters. This significantly increases the material density to approximately 350-410 kg/m³, optimising it for storage and transportation.
- Energy Saving Design: Optimised to reduce energy consumption without compromising performance, thereby lowering operational costs.
- User-Friendly Operation: Requires minimal operators and is designed for straightforward maintenance and ease of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of plastic can this line process?
This line is specifically designed for PP (Polypropylene) and PE (Polyethylene) films, including post-consumer and post-industrial waste like packaging films, agricultural films (after pre-washing if heavily soiled), and industrial scraps.
What is the typical moisture content of the final densified product?
The squeezer component significantly reduces moisture content. Typically, the final densified pellets will have a moisture content of less than 3-5%, making them ideal for pelletising or other reprocessing applications.
Can the system handle contaminated films?
Yes, the line is designed to handle contaminated bales. The wet granulation and sink/float tank are crucial for washing and separating common contaminants like dirt, sand, and small stones. However, heavily contaminated materials might require pre-washing for optimal results.
What are the lead times and installation support?
Lead times vary based on customisation and current order volume. Please contact us for the most up-to-date information. We offer comprehensive installation support, including sending our engineers to your site for setup and commissioning.
