BOPP Film Shredding and Recycling

Machines in the WLK series are ideally equipped for a wide range of plastics tasks. The machine design is characterized in particular by its durability and robustness. Thanks to the conveyor belt cut-out, all machines can be seamlessly integrated into any production line. They also offer a wide range of options in terms of drive and cutting geometry.

With rotor lengths of 1,400 to 2,200 mm, the shredders in the W5 series shred large-volume plastic tanks and plastic garbage cans with ease. The hydraulically upward pivoting screen basket and the inspection flap allow foreign objects to be removed quickly and facilitate maintenance. Large quantities of plastic flakes can be removed via the wide conveyor belt cut-out.

With their extremely sturdy design and large rotor diameters of up to 700 mm, shredders from the S7 series offer almost unlimited application possibilities for shredding plastic waste. They are up to any challenge and can be equipped with a high-torque hydraulic drive.

• Loose BOPP film and packaging film
• BOPP blankets and cast film remnants
• BOPP film rolls and roll edge remnants
• BOPP lumps, start-up lumps and start-up cakes

WEIMA shredding machines provide you with a turnkey solution for your offline BOPP production waste. Residual materials are generated at various stages of the film production process - for example in the form of start-up lumps at the beginning and end of extrusion lines such as cast film extrusion. There are also roll residues that remain on the metal core. These are often folded into so-called blankets and are also ideal for recycling in-house production waste.

Robust plastic shredders from WEIMA are versatile and flexible when it comes to shredding and recycling BOPP film and other plastic waste. Thanks to individually configurable components - such as the rotor with specially adapted cutting blades, different drive variants, variable material feeds and customized material discharge - you can always achieve the optimum shredding result for your requirements. BOPP waste can be fed directly in almost any form. There is no need for time-consuming manual material preparation or size adjustment. The machine can be loaded flexibly: by forklift truck, wheel loader, manually by hand or conveniently automated via a conveyor belt.

In most applications, BOPP materials are shredded to a homogeneous particle size of around 30 to 80 mm. This particle size is ideal for downstream extrusion and the production of high-quality BOPP regranulate. In order to achieve the greatest possible economic benefit, the recycled pellets produced are fed directly back into the production process for new films. This efficient in-house recycling of production waste not only saves considerable material costs and reduces the need for new pellets, but also conserves valuable resources. In addition, the reduction in volume of bulky, unwieldy waste materials significantly simplifies and relieves intralogistics. This allows your employees to concentrate on higher-value activities and sustainably increase your company's productivity.
