Waste PP/PE Film Washing and Dryer

PE/PP film is a commonly seen plastic film, made from the plastic material of Polyethylene or Polypropylene. Polyethylene, short for PE, is widely used in the packaging industry. PE films serve as plastic wraps to protect agricultural crops, ordinary kitchen wraps to preserve food, and plastic bags for garbage and grocery, dry cleaning covers as well as tarpaulin and blanket in building and construction. And Polypropylene, short for PP, has a wide application in the industries like food packaging, automotive, and construction.

Why to Recycle Waste PE/PP Film

Just like many other plastic materials and products, the waste PE film and PP film can bring severe pollution to the environment if not dealt with properly, although they do have good function in various applications and bring convenience to our life.

As we all know, plastic is difficult to degrade naturally. PE/PP films, especially those applied as agricultural films in the lands, are quite troublesome to get rid of once when they are abandoned in the land. Obviously, these waste thin films are quite dangerous to the soil, which is called the soil pollution.

PP/PE Film Recycling Solution

Due to the severe pollution, plastic films will cause to the environment, we kindly remind people do not to throw away plastic films casually when using them up and we encourage them to recycle them. As we know, many plastic materials are recyclable, so do PE and PP. And as for the problem of how to recycle and process those dirty and wet films efficiently, GREENMAX has professional solutions.

Plastic films like PE/PP film should first be shattered into flakes once they are recycled, and of course, they should be washed, which leads to the further problem of getting rid of the water in piles of film flakes. Poseidon series of GREENMAX plastic recycling machine is specially designed for dewatering and compacting containers and packaging like PE/PP film flakes.

Compared with conventional hot-air drying methods for washed PE/PP plastic films, which are energy-intensive and costly to operate, the GREENMAX Poseidon Squeezing Dewatering Machine offers a more efficient and economical dewatering solution. By utilizing advanced mechanical squeezing technology, Poseidon effectively removes moisture from washed PE/PP film flakes, reducing the final moisture content to 3%–8% while consuming only 80–90 kWh of energy per ton of material. This significantly lowers energy consumption and operating costs compared with traditional thermal drying systems, while improving drying efficiency and preparing the material for pelletizing or other downstream recycling processes.

As for the Poseidon machine’s size, different to the heavier heater, GREENMAX is comparatively space-saving. For example, GREENMAX dewatering machine P-C350 only needs the space of less than 10 m³ and can be easily installed.

GREENMAX can design the tailor made machines according to your PE/PP film recycling system to match your requirements and it’s totally free of charge. What’s more, our technicians will also assist you with the operation and maintenance during the whole life of the machine.
