Two plants can both say they “recycle plastic” and still require very different equipment. The biggest divider is where the feedstock comes from: Post-indu...
Tires are composite products: rubber compounds reinforced with steel wire and textile fiber. That structure is exactly why tire recycling requires a staged proc...
Manual sorting is difficult work: it’s repetitive, exposes workers to hazards, and becomes less reliable as throughput increases. That’s why recycling plant...
Rigid plastics (containers, crates, pipes) and flexible plastics (film, bags, woven material) are not just “different polymers.” They behave differently in...
Vinyl siding is typically PVC-based, which makes it a valuable scrap stream when collected in volume. The difficulty is not the base polymer—it’s the contam...
Polystyrene recycling is often described as difficult, but the barrier is usually not chemistry—it’s collection and transport. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) fo...
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is technically recyclable, but it’s often treated as “not worth it” because of one practical issue: volume. Loose EPS is mostly...
In recycling, “efficiency” is not only tons per hour. It’s the ability to produce a consistent output grade without constant downtime caused by contaminat...
Troubleshooting a single shaft shredder works best when you treat it like a system: feeding (hydraulic pusher), cutting (knives/counter knife/screen), and power...
A single shaft shredder can run for years with predictable upkeep—or turn into a constant source of unplanned stops if the cutting system and hydraulics drift...
