POLYSTAR-Economic Repro Air Recycling Machines for Film Waste

POLYSTAR’s Repro-Air recycling machine is an extremely         into the production line for immediate reprocessing.
compact and economic recycling solution for HDPE and           This plastic recycling machine is highly recommended
LDPE film producers. It is especially suitable for producers   for packaging film producers of different types of film
who are in need of less installation space and operation       and bags, such as flat bags, commercial bags, garbage
                                                               bags, food packaging film, shrink film and many others.

                                                                     are transported into a spiral device for further pellet
                                                                     cooling and separation. This special design allows the
                                                                     machine to effectively pelletize HDPE and LDPE with

can also be recycled into high quality, uniformed pellets.           with higher production efficiency and higher film waste
In addition, low maintenance requirement and processing              converting rate – a higher percentage of recycled
stability is the core advantage of new Repro-Air machine.            pellets can be put back into the production line.
POLYSTAR will demonstrate this economic Repro-Air
recycling machine at Taipeiplas 2016.                          POLYSTAR continues to re-engineer its recycling machines
                                                               in every small detail to improve the machine user-
                                                               friendliness and at the same time meeting the customer’s

1.	 Saving space and water

	 The space-saving recycling machine Repro-Air
      (economic type - RP120) has an average output of
      30~80kg per hour, 800~1000kg per day. Through the
      nip roll feeder, the recycling machine can process
      multiple film rolls simultaneously. T-shirt bag bundles
      (cut-offs) from bag making process can also be thrown
      directly into the recycling machine without the need
      for pre-crushing.

	 This air-cooled plastic recycling line does not require

any water consumption and takes up very little space,

it can fit right next to or in between blown film              has always been the core value for POLYSTAR, providing
machines. The pellets produced by the hot die face             the simplest and easy operation recycling systems to
pelletizer are 100% dry and can be put directly back           customers worldwide.
