Overview
One-step process for PE, PP film. A cutter-compactor integration
Single shaft shredder integration for one-step process of PP raffia and hard-to-grind material
Air-cooled. Super compact. HDPE and LDPE post-industrial film
Designed specially to process rigid regrind (hard plastic) directly
Suitable Material
Printed and non-printed PE, PP film BOPP, CPP, multi-layered film, shrink film, stretch film, PE and EPE foam. Washed and dried film flakes from washing line. Thermoformed PS, PP. Soft irrigation pipe.
PP raffia, woven, non woven, FIBC/jumbo bags, blown film star-up lumps Film scraps. PP fiber, yarn, tapes. Injection moulding parts, solid lumps. Thermoformed PP products.
HDPE and LDPE film on roll, bag cut-off and punches non-printed or very lightly printed (under 10%) film
Rigid Regrind from injection moulding PE and PP pipes (pre-shredded)
Suitable Industry/ Application
Film, flexible packaging, raffia, woven, recyclers Food packaging, agricultural film production industrial packaging, waste packaging

Output Range
100~ 1,000kg
150 ~ 300 kg/hr
40 ~ 50 kg/hr
80 ~ 800 kg/hr
Main advantage
Direct, one-step process of light-weighted film scraps without the need for pre-cutting or agglomerating Very stable and consistent output
Integration of the powerful shredder directly processes PP raffia without the need for pre-crushing Discontinuous feeding
Super compact, easy to install. Fits right next to blown film or bag making machines. Waterless. 100% dry pellets Lower machine cost and fast return on investment 100% automatic feeding for film-on-roll.
Rigid regrind (hard plastic) is transported directly into the extruder by feeding hopper. Simple and direct without extra power consumption from unnecessary pre- conditioning unit
Process steps
Cutter compactor (cuts and compacts) --> Directly feeds to extruder after preconditions —> Degassing —> Filtration -> Water ring pelletizing -> Storage silo
For heavily printed material (more than 60% printed area) The filtration and degassing position can be reversed to process the heavily printed material more effectively - Cutter compactor -> Directly feeds to extruder after preconditions —> Filtration —> degassing -> water ring pelletizing -> Storage silo
Single shaft shredder -> directly feeds to extruder after shredding -> Degassing —> Filtration -> water ring pelletizing -> Storage silo
Nip roller feeder —> directly feeds film on roll into extruder (small scraps can be fed manually) —> filtration —> air pelletizing —> storage tank
Belt conveyor —> directly goes into extruder —> degassing —> filtration > water ring pelletizing -> storage tank

Successful Cases

Colombian recycler adds capacities with 2 more POLYSTAR
2 years after the first installation in 2015, the Colombian recycler has decided to increase capacity by adding two more POLYSTAR recycling machines in 2017 in the cities of Barranquilla and Bogota.

Japanese LDPE film recycler goes for POLYSTAR
Located in Tokyo, the professional PE film recycler has installed one more POLYSTAR HNT-120V recycling machine to process 400~500kg/hr LDPE and HDPE post-industrial film waste. The industrial waste is collected from local plastic factories that produce various types of bags, both printed and non-printed.

Stretch film plastic recycling machine - How in-house recycling improves pellets reusability?
In-house recycling of stretch wrap, pallet wrap and shrink wrap waste significantly reduces the cost

Thailand - 100% in-house, minimal property change in pellets
With more than 1,200 professional staffs and over 60,000 square meter factory space, the export-oriented PE bag producer located in Thailand has decided to go for POLYSTAR's plastic recycling machine to upgrade it's current in-house recycling process.
