Sri Lanka 2nd Plastic Recycling Machine Repro-Air Installed

In September, POLYSTAR installed another air-cooling type plastic film recycling machine for the Sri Lankan plastic film manufacturer. The result is high-quality recycled pellets. In addition, the low maintenance requirement and processing stability of the Repro-Air is the reason why the Colombo-based plastic film producer decided to add its second POLYSTAR less than one year after the first installation.

Significant Cost Reduction for Plastic Recycling

This compact, air-cooling film plastic recycling machine is specially designed for blown film and cast film producers. The model can effectively recycle HDPE and LDPE film scraps, start-up, or changeover film rolls (film-on-roll) without the need for pre-cutting, edge-trim waste, and T-shirt bag bundles (cut-offs) from in-house production. The lightly-printed film can also be recycled into high-quality, uniform pellets. According to the film producers located in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the recycled pellets from the POLYSTAR recycling machines are reused 100% in their blown film process. 

The film manufacturer is now able to recycle almost all of its production waste to make pellets with excellent quality, from HDPE film scraps to LDPE film-on-roll– and considerably increase the percentage of recycled pellets in the end product (film). The advantage of this is higher production efficiency and the reduction in production costs.
