PP/PE Plastic Film Shredding and Densifying Line

It is a combined recycling system that shreds bulky film, washes contamination out of the flakes, and then squeeze-dries the material into a denser output that is easier to store, transport, or feed into pelletizing.

Typical projects start around 200 to 300 kg per hour and can scale to 500 to 700 kg per hour or up to about 1000 kg per hour depending on film type, contamination level, and required output density.

The final cleanliness depends on the washing route and incoming contamination, but the line is designed to remove sand, labels, loose paper, and field dirt before discharge into densified flakes or irregular pellets.

Yes. Agricultural film is one of the common target materials, but it usually needs stronger washing, better sludge handling, and tighter water management because soil and organics are much heavier than cleaner factory scrap.

Yes. We can support layout planning, commissioning, operator training, and startup guidance according to the project scope and delivery arrangement.

Equipment cost depends on capacity, configuration, and the level of washing and water treatment required, so it spans a wide range from a compact entry line to a full industrial line. On top of equipment, budget for civil works, electrical incoming, closed-loop water where required, customs duty, and operator training. Because the variables differ by project and region, share your capacity, feedstock, and site details and we will prepare a specific quotation.

Size capacity from your annual feedstock tonnage and run hours: divide annual tons by your working days and production hours per day, then add headroom for downtime and feed surges. This line is configured across roughly the 200–1,000 kg/h range, so choose the option that comfortably covers your sustained throughput rather than your best-case peak. If your confirmed feedstock points to much higher volumes, a larger dedicated line is the better route.

Output bulk density typically ranges from around 0.35 g/cm³ on entry lines to about 0.60 g/cm³ on fully configured industrial lines, set by the squeeze-densifier specification and dryer integration. Higher bulk density lowers transport cost and is usually required for sale to third-party pelletizers, while in-house pelletizing can accept lower bulk density without an economic penalty.

Payback depends on capacity, feedstock cost, output selling price, and uptime, so it varies widely between projects. Lines feeding an in-house pelletizing operation generally pay back faster because they capture the full pellet value rather than selling densified flake. Run a sensitivity analysis on feedstock cost, output price, and uptime before committing — we can build that model around your actual numbers.

Agricultural mulch film with soil contamination needs an extended pre-wash drum, a two-stage sink-float separation tank, and a double-pass friction washer, because its mineral load is far higher than clean factory scrap. Specifying the agricultural-film configuration upfront is much cheaper than retrofitting it later, and mass recovery is typically lower than on clean post-consumer packaging film. Tell us your contamination profile so the line is sized for it from the start.
