Plastic Recycling Line for Small & Mid‑Size Plants : Scalable Solutions, Lower OPEX

plastic recycling line

As sustainability becomes a top global priority, effective plastic waste management is essential. A Plastic Recycling Line offers a streamlined solution that converts plastic waste into valuable, reusable raw materials through a standardized process. This approach emphasizes consistent quality, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for medium and small-scale recycling operations.

What is a Plastic Recycling Line?

A Plastic Recycling Line is an integrated system designed to process plastic waste into reusable raw materials for new manufacturing applications. Typically handling plastics such as HDPE, PP, PET, and LDPE, these systems play a crucial role in reducing environmental impact and advancing a circular economy.

Key Features and Components

A standard Plastic Recycling Line consists of several core stages, each optimized for efficiency :

  • Shredding & Crushing :
    Machines reduce large plastic pieces into smaller fragments, increasing the surface area for more effective processing.
  • Washing & Drying :
    The shredded plastic is cleaned to remove contaminants like dirt, oil, and labels. Subsequent drying ensures the material is moisture-free and ready for the next stage.
  • Pelletizing & Extrusion :
    Clean, dried plastic is melted and formed into uniform pellets, which serve as reliable raw materials for new products.
  • Batch Weighing & Quality Control :
    Final products are weighed and inspected to ensure consistency in size and quality.

The Recycling Process

The recycling process begins with the collection and sorting of plastic waste. Once sorted, the materials undergo shredding, washing, drying, and pelletizing, resulting in high-quality recycled pellets. This straightforward process reduces the dependency on virgin plastic and supports a sustainable circular economy.

Applications of Plastic Recycling Lines

Standard Plastic Recycling Lines process a variety of plastics, including:

  • Polyethylene (PE) : Found in plastic bags, films, and containers.
  • Polypropylene (PP) : Used in packaging, automotive parts, and consumer goods.
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) : Utilized in beverage bottles and textiles.
  • Polystyrene (PS): Commonly used in packaging materials, disposable utensils, insulation, and foam products.
  • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): Widely used in automotive parts, electronics, household appliances, and consumer goods due to its strength and impact resistance.
  • Other Plastics : Such as HDPE and PVC, common in pipes, construction materials, and packaging.

The resulting recycled pellets are versatile, serving as raw materials in numerous industries, from everyday consumer products to construction materials

Successful Case Studies

  • GEORDING Shredder Integrated Recycling Machine :
    Our Shredder Integrated Recycling Machine combines shredding and recycling stations into one integrated step. This innovation reduces labor and energy costs while significantly increasing productivity.
  • RDF 5 Refuse Derived Fuel Recycling System :
    This system efficiently processes urban and non-recyclable waste into refuse-derived fuel (RDF). It not only provides an eco-friendly energy source but also contributes to reducing carbon emissions.

Handling Diverse Waste Streams

While our standardized Plastic Recycling Lines primarily focus on core recycling processes, they are also capable of handling mixed or contaminated plastics. Additional modules—for instance, converting non-recyclable waste into fuel or compacting waste into bricks—can be integrated based on specific operational requirements.

For more demanding and contaminated waste streams, we also offer Advanced Plastic Recycling Production Lines, engineered to handle complex plastic waste with enhanced recovery and diversification capabilities.
