In the plastics recycling sector, the most commonly processed materials include Polyethylene (LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP). Waste of these polymers, both in hard granule and film form, can be efficiently reprocessed using specially designed recycling lines.
How Does the Recycling Process Work?
The process begins with reducing the size of plastic waste using a shredder or crushing machine. This process prepares the material for the washing line. The shredded plastics are directed to a fully automated washing line using appropriate conveying systems.
In the washing line, dirt, oil, and other contaminants on the surface are removed using high-speed centrifuges and integrated friction systems. In the next stage, the plastics are separated from heavier plastics and inorganic pollutants in washing tanks that operate based on density differences. The cleaned plastics are then transferred either directly to a compact extruder system or to an agromel + extruder combination to become recyclable. In these machines, plastic waste is reprocessed and transformed into high-quality raw materials in granular form. Line Design and Project Planning
Each recycling line is specifically designed according to criteria such as:
Contamination level
Form (film/rigid)
Daily capacity
End of use
of the material to be processed. This ensures maximum optimization in both efficiency and energy costs.
