Our plastic film shredder machine is an idea solution for plastic recyclers handling materials such as:
- LDPE/LLDPE plastic films
- Agricultural films
- Stretch films
- PP non-woven bags
WORKING PRINCIPLE
As plastic films are extremely elastic and easily jam the hopper resulting in an inconsistent output, we have designed a moveable hopper system that resolves this. This moveable hopper system moves with the material as it is being cut resulting in a jam-free experience.
Instead of making use of a double-shaft plastic shredder to cut the plastic film which have been dubbed as the optimal machine for this purpose, we have taken a completely different approach.
By resolving the jamming issue with our moveable hopper system, using a our modified single-shaft plastic shredder is actually more efficient for cutting plastic film. This is especially true for heavily soiled materials such as agricultural films where machine maintenance is consistently required.
As plastic films attract dust and dirt that quickly dulls shear blades, the key benefit for using our single-shaft plastic shredders is its convenience and low cost for replacing the blades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the plastic film shredder process?
The machine handles LDPE/LLDPE plastic films, agricultural films, stretch films, and PP non-woven bags. Plastic films are extremely elastic and prone to jamming, so this shredder is specifically engineered — with a moveable hopper system — to cut them reliably where conventional shredders jam.
Why use a single-shaft shredder for film instead of a double-shaft?
Double-shaft shredders are often called the optimal machine for film, but ASG took a different approach: the moveable hopper resolves the jamming issue, making a modified single-shaft shredder more efficient for cutting film. This is especially true for heavily soiled materials like agricultural films, where the single-shaft design makes blade replacement cheaper and easier. See our single vs double shaft guide for the full comparison.
How does the moveable hopper system work?
Because elastic films jam conventional hoppers and cause inconsistent output, the moveable hopper moves with the material as it is being cut. This keeps film feeding into the rotor steadily instead of balling up, resulting in a jam-free experience and consistent throughput.
What models and capacities are available?
Four models cover 400 to 1,200 kg/hr: the ES-800 (30 KW, 400 kg/hr), ES-1000 (37 KW, 700 kg/hr), ES-1200 (55 KW, 1,000 kg/hr), and ES-1500 (75 KW, 1,200 kg/hr). All run at 85 rpm with CE certification available, and larger, more powerful models can be built on request.
How often do the blades need attention?
Plastic films attract dust and dirt that quickly dull shear blades, so film shredders need more frequent blade maintenance than rigid-plastic machines. The single-shaft design keeps blade replacement convenient and low-cost. Our shredder blade replacement guide walks through inspection intervals and the changeover procedure.
What warranty is included?
All recycling machines come with a 1-year limited warranty. For pricing, lead times, and installation support for your film recycling project, send an inquiry through the form and our team will prepare a proposal.
