This video showcases our custom-built 1000 kg/h PP/PE plastic film shredding and densifying line, tailored specifically for a corporate client based in Florida, USA.
Our state-of-the-art processing line adeptly manages various stages, including shredding baled film, granulating, washing, and densifying.
Discover the effectiveness of our PP/PE plastic film shredding and densifying line, engineered to convert soiled PP/PE film bales into a highly compacted end product, ready for further processing into plastic granules via pelletization.
The process commences with our robust plastic shredder, which disintegrates compressed bundles of plastic films into smaller fragments. Subsequently, a wet granulator takes over, refining these pieces into fine flakes.
Following this, the sink-float tank becomes instrumental in eliminating impurities such as mud and stones, ensuring the plastic films are impeccably clean.
The ultimate and crucial phase involves our squeezer, which compresses the cleaned plastic film into irregular pellets, significantly increasing the material’s density and optimizing it for efficient recycling.
Our line boasts standard capacities ranging from 200 kg/h to 1000 kg/h, with the flexibility to tailor features to specific needs. Witness how our PP/PE plastic film shredding and densifying line is redefining standards in plastic recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PP/PE film shredding and densifying line do?
The line takes soiled PP/PE film bales through four stages: a robust shredder disintegrates the compressed bundles into smaller fragments, a wet granulator refines them into fine flakes, a sink-float tank removes impurities such as mud and stones, and a squeezer compresses the cleaned film into dense irregular pellets — a compacted end product ready for pelletization into plastic granules.
What capacities are available?
Standard capacities range from 200 kg/h to 1000 kg/h, with the flexibility to tailor features to specific needs. The featured installation is a custom-built 1000 kg/h line for a corporate client in Florida, USA. Share your feedstock volume and operating schedule with the engineering team to size the line for your operation.
Why densify film before pelletizing?
Plastic film is bulky with very low bulk density, which makes it expensive to store, transport, and feed. The squeezer compresses cleaned film into irregular pellets, significantly increasing material density. Denser feedstock flows more consistently into the pelletizer, improving efficiency and lowering the cost per kilogram of recycled output.
How are impurities like mud and stones removed?
After wet granulation, the flakes pass through a sink-float tank that separates by density: heavier contaminants such as mud and stones sink while the cleaned plastic film floats. This stage ensures the films are impeccably clean before densification, protecting the squeezer and pelletizer from abrasive wear.
What feedstock can the line handle?
The line is designed for soiled PP/PE film bales — compressed bundles of post-consumer or post-industrial film. The shredder is built to tear apart dense bales, and the wet granulation plus sink-float stages handle dirty material with mud, stones, and other contaminants. Very different feedstocks should be discussed with the engineering team first.
What utilities and installation space does the line require?
Plan for three-phase industrial power for the shredder, granulator, and squeezer drives, plus a reliable water supply and drainage for the wet granulation and sink-float stages. The multi-stage layout needs floor space for bale infeed, each processing machine, and densified product collection. A tailored proposal will confirm utilities and footprint for your site.
