Maximizing Your Plastic Recycling Efficiency with Custom Layouts and Optional Devices

On a global scale, the need for plastic recycling is increasing to keep the environment and the economy sustainable. Encouraging more businesses to start whether post-industrial recycling or post-consumer recycling activities, requires the plastic recycling machines more user-friendly and flexible. Thus, they can adapt to the versatile requirements of plastic recyclers and producers as well as their factory layout.

Plastic recycling machine flexible custom layouts

( Layout options of plastic recycling machines )

POLYSTAR plastic recycling machine layouts are highly flexible to be customized based on your factory space. All the cutter compactor integrated, shredder integrated, and hopper feeding recycling machine models can be manufactured in L shape, I shape, and U shape layouts. Based on customer requirements, further customization can be provided.

Moreover, considering changing factory space and the operation flow of the customers, POLYSTAR plastic recycling machines are designed for flexible layouts.

* For instance, if you have installed a cutter compactor integrated model Repro-Flex plastic recycling machine with L shape layout, then you wanted to change it to a U shape, this is possible without adding any extra equipment in most of cases.

Plastic recycling machine customization with optional devices

POLYSTAR provides several plastic recycling machine optional devices that aim for time and cost saving, higher operation efficiency, and better-recycled pellet quality for plastic recyclers and manufacturers. Some of the common plastic recycling machine optional devices are as follows.

Metal detector

Precisely detects metal contamination in the material and stops the belt conveyor for the operator to remove it. Prevents machine malfunctioning caused by metal contamination.

Nip roller

Allows feeding films on rolls to the recycling machine at the same time with the belt conveyor. Increases efficiency and saves time.

Additive and masterbatches feeder

Allows adding masterbatch, coloring, or additives precisely to enhance the formula and quality of the recycled material.

Repositioned filter

The filter before degassing design enhances degassing efficiency, stabilizes extrusion pressure, and increases yield for heavily printed and laminated materials.

Dual piston screen changer

Dual piston (two-channel) screen changer allows filter mesh changing without stopping the plastic recycling machine. Provides a larger filter surface area than slide-type filters, thus less mesh changing.

Automatic back-flush screen changer

The back-flush filter system automatically performs melt waste discharging and reduces the cost of screen mesh replacement as well as saves time.

PLC control System

With a user-friendly HMI, increases recycling automation with features such as automatic pre-heating, parameter optimization, custom parameter memory, online troubleshooting, and so on.

Extra die head for PP/PE

By switching between PP and PE die heads, plastic recyclers, and producers can recycle versatile plastic materials on the same machine.

Bi-metallic screw

Improved wear resistance against abrasive post-consumer materials. Extends the lifespan of the screw, reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

Centrifuge dryer

Provides excellent pellet drying and separation performance. Allows the pellets to be directly used in production just after recycling and saves time.
