Choosing the Right Recycling Machine: PP Raffia/Woven VS Hard Plastic Regrind Recycling

Many plastic materials must be eventually crushed before feeding to the recycling extruder. In the classical method, this process can be done separately before the extrusion process and the material is stored, then extrusion and pelletizing steps can take place in another process.

This method requires longer time and more labor effort. Also, you will need more space in your factory to place the separated shredder and store the crushed materials. Therefore, this is considered less efficient if you process clean in-house materials (industrial plastic wastes).

Repro-One is designed as a solution for this problem. Single shaft shredder integration makes this machine a time, labor, effort, and space saver for processing PP raffia, woven bags, un-crushed clean big-sized plastics, lumps, and many different materials. Because the recycling system combines shredding, extrusion, and pelletizing processes end-to-end in one step.

Plastic recyclers and producers might have their hard plastic materials or soft packaging materials in pre-crushed form (E.g., washed and dried materials). For these kinds of materials, a plastic recycling machine that provides a fast and direct recycling process would be more efficient.

Repro-Direct is especially the favorite plastic recycling machine of regrind recyclers and injection molding manufacturers. Besides pre-crushed hard plastic regrinds of PE, PP, ABS, PS, PC, and PU; this plastic pelletizer is also more efficient for processing washed and dried flakes from packaging materials such as film, raffia, and foam.

While the extruders and the pelletizing units of these two different plastic recycling machines can be customized in similar ways, The main differences come in the material feeding and preparation for the extrusion process.
