Scrap grinder

It is an optional that is positioned at the outfeed of the reel machines and is used to shred the scrap material.

This operation is necessary to drastically reduce the volumes occupied in the warehouse, those of transport, and to recycle the thermoplastic material by returning it to its supplier or by conveying it towards a new extrusion process for new reels.

Referring to plastic shredders, which are machines designed to break down and reduce plastic waste into smaller pieces or particles. These shredders are part of the recycling process and help manage plastic waste effectively.

Plastic waste shredders come in various sizes and configurations to handle different types and quantities of plastic waste. They can process various types of plastic materials, such as PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and more.
The shredding process involves feeding plastic waste into the machine, which then uses sharp blades or cutting mechanisms to cut the plastic into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces can be further processed and recycled into new plastic products or used as raw materials in other industries.

By shredding plastic waste, several advantages are obtained:

• Reduced Volume: Shredding helps reduce the overall volume of plastic waste, making it easier to handle, transport and store.
• Improved Recycling Efficiency: Smaller plastic particles are easier to sort and clean, improving the efficiency of your recycling processes.
• Environmentally Friendly: Proper management of plastic waste through shredding and recycling helps reduce pollution and the burden on landfills and natural environments.

It is important to note that while shredding plastic waste is beneficial for recycling and waste management, the ultimate goal should be reducing single-use plastics and promoting sustainable alternatives to minimize plastic waste generation.
