Application of Plastic Film Recycling Machines
Our plastic film recycling machine widely applies to a variety of films, such as PP, PE, LDPE LLDPE, HDPE, PC, PET, ABS, HAPE, PVC, EPS, etc. Some common plastic film materials are as follows:
Material Type | Common Sources | Notes |
---|---|---|
LDPE Film | Packaging film, plastic bags | Soft, flexible, widely used |
HDPE Film | Grocery bags, industrial wraps | Stronger and stiffer than LDPE |
LLDPE Stretch Film | Pallet wrap, stretch wrap | Common in logistics and warehouses |
Agricultural Films | Mulch film, greenhouse covers | Often heavily contaminated with soil |
Shrink Film | Product packaging shrink wrap | Requires de-inking if printed |
Printed PE Films | Food packaging, branded film rolls | May need ink removal in washing process |
Garbage Bags | Household and industrial trash bags | Usually post-consumer waste |
Construction Films | Insulation film, barrier film | Can include additives or mixed layers |
Post-Consumer PE Waste | Recycled from households or landfill sorting | Often mixed and contaminated |
Industrial Film Waste | Factory edge trims, defective film rolls | Usually cleaner, easier to recycle |
Whether post-consumer, or post-industrial plastic films, they all can be reprocessed by our plastic bag recycling machines to become granules for recycling use, including materials with high contamination levels, such as sand, soil, oil, and organic residues. The end granules, such as recycled polypropylene pellets, recycled bubble wrap, recycled stretch film, etc., can achieve purities of over 98%, making them suitable for a wide range of high-quality reuse applications.
Due to the different types of recycling materials, the configuration of each PE film recycling line is different. Please contact us for sepecific plastic bag recycling machine price and more details! Besides, customization service is available according to your requirements.

The Working Process of Plastic Film Recycling Line
The process of plastic wrap recycling and reprocessing has some slight differences because of different materials. But the main steps are the same.
- The raw materials will be transported into a plastic bag shredder and washing machine by belt conveyor to be crushed and washed.
- The crushed film flakes are cleaned throughout in a sink.
- Then vertical type dewatering machine puts material out and dries it.
- Dried film scraps go along with the climbing conveyor into the automatic feeding machine. Because soft films are very light, it’s not convenient to send them into a plastic pellet-making machine directly. So it needs an automatic feeding machine to help.
- Then, the plastic film granulator extrudes long strips. Next, cooling soft strips in the cooling tank, cutting them into granules by the cutter. Then collecting these materials in a storage bin. And finally packaging these granules into bags.

Plastic Film Recycling Machines Involved in HDPE/LDPE Film Recycling Line
Belt conveyor is an fully automatic device to convey plastic waste to the plastic bag shredder, improving stretch film recycling efficiency and reducing manual costs.

Step 1: Automatic feeding machine
- Convey the plastic films into plastic crusher
- Optional adjustable motor to control the speed.
- Height of the frame can be adjusted
- Can be customized according to requirements
Plastic film shredder crushes plastic films into smaller uniform pieces that are easy to clean and pelletize. The crushing machines adopts anti-tangling design, no clogging, no jamming, the highest efficiency up to 1t/h! Additionally, it is made of high-quality steel and is durable.

Step 2: Plastic Film Crusher
- Hydraulic lift divices
- Material: 60 Si2Mn
- Capacity: 600-1200 kg/h
- Adopt ball bearing, fixed center, balanced operation
- Unique multistep knives, increase the crushing rate.
Rinsing tank rewash broken materials throughout and is equipped with tooth plates to force plastic chips to move forward the other side.

Step 3: Plastic Scrap Washing Machine
- Scientific design, thorough cleaning
- Easy to operate, save time and effort.
- Can be perfectly matched to plastic recycling lines.
- Length: 15-20 m.
Vertical dryer for plastic film chips include the devices of strong swirling cleaning, automatic conveying, high-speed centrifugal dehydration, etc. Therefore, the plastic dewatering machine can dehydrate and dry materials in a short time.

Step 4: Vertical stuff-fetching dryer
- Drying degree is as high as 98%
- High-speed extration and centrifugal dehydration
- Automatically feed and discharge the material at one time
Automatic force feeder machine helps soft materials like plastic film enter into a plastic pelletizer machine, avoiding tangling or clogging.

Step 5: Forced Feeder Machine
- Autonomous forced pressure
- Reduce labor
- Safe production
- Increase pellet output by 20-30%
The plastic granulator machine is the main machine of the whole plastic recycling line. It is a device to melts and extrudes polyethylene and polypropylene into long strips. It can deal with plastic film, lining bags, old woven bags, packaging bags, tying rope, etc.

Cooling tank is mainly used for cooling soft strips, making them shaped and hard.

Pellet cutting machine will cut cooled long strips into small granules by hard alloy hob, convenient to store and secondary use.

There is a pump underneath the storage bin that can continuously suck plastic particles into the inside of the machine.

PP PE Film Washing Line Layout in the Recycling Plant
The complete plastic film recycling line is about 40m long and can be operated by only 2-3 people. Shuliy can provide you with a free placement design according to your space, budget and so on. Please feel free to contact us for help!

Why do we need plastic film recycling machines?
Plastic products have been an indispensable part of life in recent years. Plastic production is made from petroleum. Burning plastic will produce poisonous gas which is terrible for humans and the natural environment. Therefore, dealing plastic products in a proper way is significant. Plastic recycling machine plant makes plastic recycling use possible. The plastic recycling line with plastic granulators can make plastic pellets for recycling.
