Film & LDPE Recycling Line

A complete turnkey line where soft and contaminated plastics such as film, nylon, greenhouse cover and LDPE packaging are washed and recovered back into raw material.

Film & LDPE Recycling Line

What is the Film & LDPE Recycling Line?

The Film & LDPE line is designed to process low-density, thin and often heavily contaminated (soil, moisture) film plastics. The material is opened, wet-crushed, washed in stages, separated from water and dried; if desired, it is turned into granules through extrusion. Each stage is sized according to the contamination level of your material and your requirements.

Stages of the line

  • Bale opening & feeding
  • Wet crushing
  • Pre-washing
  • Intensive washing / Friction washing
  • Sink-float (separation)
  • Mechanical drying + Screw press

Who is it suitable for?

  • Facilities that collect/recover film, nylon and greenhouse cover
  • LDPE and soft-packaging recyclers
  • Facilities processing heavily contaminated (soil-laden) film

The key challenge with film: contamination and moisture

Film and LDPE are thin, lightweight feedstocks that mostly contain high levels of soil, moisture and organic residue. For this reason, compared with rigid-plastic lines, the line requires more aggressive pre-washing, more rinsing and strong dewatering. The material is generally wet-crushed; contamination is removed through staged washing, and moisture is reduced as far as possible by combining a screw press with mechanical drying. The number and intensity of the stages are determined by the contamination level of the feedstock.

Output and applications

The cleaned film is obtained in flake or agglomerate form and, if desired, is converted into granules (pellets) through an extrusion stage. Recycled LDPE granule is reused in products such as garbage bags, carrier film, pipe and profile. The final quality varies depending on the cleanliness of the feedstock and the washing–drying performance of the line.

The line configuration (machine selection, capacity, dimensions and power) is determined according to your material and project. For a line design tailored to your needs, you can contact İnan Tech.

Frequently Asked Questions

About this page

What is processed on a film/LDPE washing line?
Soft and contaminated plastics such as film, nylon, greenhouse cover and LDPE packaging are washed and dried, recovered back into raw material.
How does a film line differ from a rigid-plastic line?
A film line emphasizes intensive washing, friction and mechanical/thermal drying to convey thin, light material and remove high contamination.
What stages does the line consist of?
A typical flow: bale opening, size reduction, pre-washing, intensive/friction washing, separation and drying; completed with optional agglomeration/pelletizing.
Is turnkey installation and support provided?
Yes; we provide engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, operator training and after-sales service.
