High-Efficiency Recycling Machine: Processes Up to 95% Surface-Printed Recycled Material for Resource Regeneration

 

1. High-Efficiency Filtration Before Degassing: Ensures Quality of Recycled Pellets
This high-efficiency **plastic recycling machine** is specifically designed for processing **recycled plastics** with high printing ratios. Filtration is performed before the degassing process to effectively remove impurities, ensuring excellent degassing results and producing higher quality **recycled plastic pellets**. This design is crucial for ensuring the purity of the final product.

 

2. Triple Degassing System: Thoroughly Removes Ink and Moisture
In addition to the dual degassing system in the first extruder, we have innovatively designed the venting zone (the connection point between the first and second extruders) as a third degassing section. This triple degassing system more thoroughly removes residual ink and excess moisture from the **recycled plastics**, significantly improving the quality of the **recycled plastic pellets**.

 

3. Improved Pelletizing Design: Enables Fast and Stable Feeding
We have improved the pelletizing design to excel in processing printed BOPP film **recycled materials**. The shredding unit is not only responsible for shredding but also utilizes the heat generated during operation to preheat the plastic material, causing it to compact. This compaction step significantly improves the stability of feeding from the shredding unit to the extrusion section. Stable feeding ensures a stable output of machine capacity, thereby increasing **plastic recycling** efficiency.

 

Wide Range of Applications for Plastic Recycling Waste

 

The **recycled plastic pellets** produced by the Repro-Flex series **plastic recycling machine** can be directly applied to production lines for reprocessing and are widely used in equipment such as blown film machines and pipe extruders.

 

1. Once-Recycled Clean Plastic Material: In-House Waste from Plastic Product Manufacturing Plants

Plastic product manufacturing plants (such as blown film factories, bag-making factories, and printing plants) generate an average of about 5% in-house waste. With the continued rise in oil and virgin material prices, the importance of in-house **plastic waste recycling** is increasingly emphasized. Using **recycled plastic materials** to re-produce products can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing virgin materials. The quality of **recycled materials** generated through the **recycling production line** (such as film roll defects and trimming scraps from the bag-making process) can be as high as 98% of virgin material. Many manufacturers currently choose to use once-**recycled waste** to produce products, and the product quality is very close to that of products produced using virgin materials. This method not only saves raw material costs but also increases the market value of the product, achieving a win-win situation for **plastic recycling**.

 

2. Secondary Recycled Waste: Washed Waste, Plastic Pellets Containing Trace Impurities

To meet the needs of different customers, the Repro-Flex series **plastic recycling machine** is also suitable for recycling washed waste (such as discarded plastic film, agricultural film, and covering film for construction projects). The heat generated by the rotation during the Repro-Flex shredding process can be used to heat the washed waste and remove excess moisture from the material. In the extruder section, the dual degassing vents can release moisture and printing ink again. The **plastic pellets** produced from washed raw materials are mostly used for reprocessing, such as manufacturing garbage bags, engineering films, plastic films for covering cloths, and producing water pipes. The Repro-Flex machine can be additionally equipped with a masterbatch/additive feeder to change the color of the **recycled pellets**, giving **recycled plastic** more possibilities.

Advantages of Repro-Flex Recycling Machine

Three-in-One Design: Integrates Shredding, Extrusion, and Pelletizing Functions

The Repro-Flex series **plastic recycling machine** adopts a three-in-one design, integrating shredding, extrusion, and pelletizing units. **Recycled materials** can be directly fed into the machine for processing, completing the production of **recycled plastic pellets** in one stop. This design eliminates the labor, factory space, and power consumption required for traditional segmented operations, greatly improving **plastic recycling** efficiency.

 

Convenient Operation: Simplifies the Recycling Process

**Recycled materials** can be placed directly on the conveyor belt, which transports them to the shredding unit. The feeding amount of the conveyor belt is controlled by amperage, achieving quantitative feeding. In addition to cutting the plastic film, the shredding drum also compresses the shredded plastic fragments during the cutting process, giving the fragments weight and using the centrifugal force generated by the cutting rotation to directly feed the plastic material into the extruder for melting. The extruded material can be immediately pelletized and cooled by the die-face pelletizing unit. The produced **recycled materials** can be directly used in the production line, realizing **plastic circular reuse**.

 

High Efficiency, High Capacity: Stable Production of Recycled Pellets

The design combining the shredding and extrusion units ensures that the fed **recycled materials** are effectively shredded and fed into the extruder. This uninterrupted feeding design provides a stable feed rate, allowing the extruder to quantitatively extrude plastic material. Stable feeding and extrusion rates also enable the machine to stably produce **recycled plastic pellets**, improving the efficiency of **plastic recycling**.

 

High-Quality Plastic Pellets: Ensures Subsequent Production Quality

The pelletizing unit operates using die-face pelletizing, which ensures that the **plastic pellets** are of uniform shape and size. Because the pellets are of uniform size, it is very beneficial for subsequent production line reprocessing and ensures the stable quality of the final product.

 

Investment Costs Can Be Quickly Recovered: Investment Recovered Within One Year

On average, the cost of investing in this **plastic recycling machine** can be recovered within one year.

Fast machine delivery and simple installation -

a clear advantage for South African customers

 

Multiple sets of recycling pelletizing extruders Repro-Flex have been installed in South Africa in the year of 2020, mainly for film producers and bag converters of LDPE, HDPE, PP and BOPP who process their post-industrial (factory) waste in-house.

 

 

Fast delivery time is beneficial for customers

 

The two most popular models being delivered in the market are the 500kg/hr (Repro-Flex 120) and the 350kg/hr model (Repro-Flex 100) recycling pelletizers, which are suitable for film and bag producers who need to process different types of waste generated during the production process: film scraps, edge trim, film on roll, cut-off and start-up waste back into high quality pellets.

 

Since Polystar has completed its newest and largest manufacturing facility in Sinji industrial park (located in southern Taiwan) in early 2020, it has been able to shorten its previous delivery time by more than 75%. This third manufacturing site was built specifically to focus on the manufacturing and quality control of its recycling pelletizing lines.

 

Upon order confirmation, a standard Repro-Flex 100 or 120 machine can be delivered within 1~ 2.5 months. This allows the producers to receive the machines much faster and put them to work within the shortest time – without the need to wait for a typical 6 ~ 12 months and having their cash flow blocked.

 

Local service and support improved

 

In order to provide better and more in-time after-sale services, Polystar began working together with ZA Machinery, who has been in the South African plastic industry for more than 30 years with an experienced technical team. Following a successful exhibition together at Pro-Pak Johannesburg 2019, where a Repro-Flex 120 (500k/hr model) was on display and sold immediately, the sales have increased significantly since then.

 

 

Fast and simple installation

 

The compact design of the Polystar machine is much simpler, which can be installed within 2~3 days upon arrival. The recycling machines are disassembled into only three main parts for shipment, and once unloaded from the container can be quickly assembled again. Polystar provides fully detailed 3D explosive drawings (with each part clearly marked and labeled), as well as pre-recorded instruction videos of installation, start-up, operation, trouble shooting and regular maintenance videos in which the customers operators have full access by simply scanning a QR code from their mobile phones. The user-friendly design allows operators to quickly become familiar with the machine operation.

 

 

Lower cost on spare parts is a big plus

 

Apart from fast machine delivery and simple installation, the cost of consumable spare parts is also much less expensive comparing to its European competitors with comparable built quality. This can further reduce the overall production and maintenance cost.
