PP / PE Film Recycling

PP / PE Film
Recycling Line

A complete washing, dewatering and drying system for recycling contaminated PP and PE film into clean reusable material or pelletizing feedstock.

For agricultural film, packaging film, stretch film and other soft plastic waste.

From Waste Film to Reusable Material

Recycle Lightweight Film
Without Losing Process Control

Film waste needs a different approach because it is light, tangles easily, holds moisture and often arrives with sand, soil and organic residue.

Process Flow

A Film Recycling Process Built for
Light and Contaminated Material

The process focuses on stable feeding, contamination removal and efficient moisture reduction for film that can tangle and retain water.

Dirty FilmWashFriction CleanDewaterClean Film
  1. 01

    Feeding & Pre-Sorting

    Film waste is opened, inspected and fed into the line at a controlled rate.

  2. 02

    Shredding / Crushing

    Bulky film is reduced into a manageable size for efficient washing and transport.

  3. 03

    Pre-Washing

    Loose sand, soil and heavy contamination are removed before intensive cleaning.

  4. 04

    Friction Washing

    High-speed mechanical friction removes surface dirt and attached contaminants.

  5. 05

    Rinsing & Separation

    Film is rinsed and separated from unwanted material through the washing process.

  6. 06

    Dewatering

    Mechanical dewatering removes a large portion of free water from washed film.

  7. 07

    Squeezing / Drying

    Cleaned film is compacted and further dried for easier storage or pelletizing.

The final process order and equipment depend on the film type, contamination and required output.

Key Equipment

Core Machines for
PP / PE Film Recycling

Equipment selection depends on film type, contamination level, moisture and the required final output.

Line Configuration

Configure the Line Around
Your Film Waste

Agricultural film and packaging film can need very different washing intensity, dewatering and drying configurations.

Heavily contaminated agricultural film typically requires stronger pre-washing and separation than cleaner post-industrial film.
