Taiwan's Polystar Introduces New Integrated Shredder for Recycling Soft and Rigid Plastics

Taiwan based plastic recycling machine manufacturer Polystar has integrated its Repro-One recycling machine with a heavy-duty single shaft shredder to offer a one-step process for recycling both soft and rigid plastics.

The integrated shredder, which is directly connected with the extruder pelletizer, can effectively process large-sized waste without pre-shredding in advance.

Polystar said that the process eliminates the need of pre-cutting/pre-shredding large-sized, thick or bulky waste, feeding the waste directly from the shredder into the extruder at a fast and constant rate without over-heating the material.

Designed for polypropylene (PP) raffia/PP non-woven, polyethylene (PE) film manufacturers, the recycling machine can process rejected raffia waste including tapes, fabric, jumbo big bags, lumps, blown film start-up waste which are generated from in-house production.

The recycled pellets, even when be loaded in high percentages, can produce high quality fabric with good tensile strength and elongation, Polystar said.

The recycled pellets can be immediately reprocessed by placing them directly back into tape extrusion lines or blown/cast film lines.

The Repro-One allows the processing of plastic scrap by a single shaft shredder for initial size reduction.

The shredder comprises a precisely controlled ram which continuously pushes the bulky material towards the rotating shredder.
