Film & Soft Plastic Shredder
A single-shaft shredder engineered for PE film, PP woven bags, raffia, jumbo bags, and other soft plastics that require anti-wrapping performance and stable throughput.
- Rotor and blade geometry are optimized for film and woven materials.
- Suitable before washing, squeezing, drying, or pelletizing lines.
- Supports capacity planning, output sizing, and system integration based on your material mix.
Core Advantages
High Throughput
Designed to reduce wrapping and support continuous operation on film and woven materials.
Versatile Processing
Handles agricultural film, woven bags, raffia, jumbo bags, and other soft plastic waste streams.
Built to Last
Heavy-duty construction and durable blade materials support long service life in industrial recycling lines.
Automated Control
PLC-based overload protection and reversal logic help improve stability and reduce operator intervention.
The Shredding Process
Uniform Feeding
Material is loaded into the hopper and pushed steadily toward the rotor.
High-Torque Shredding
The rotor shears film and woven materials against stationary knives.
Precise Sizing
Shredded material passes through the selected screen for more consistent size.
Final Output
The output is prepared for washing, drying, squeezing, or pelletizing.
Applications & Capacity
Agricultural Film
Mulch film, greenhouse film, and heavily contaminated soft film waste.
PP Woven Bags
Bulk bags, raffia sacks, jumbo bags, and industrial packaging waste.
Non-Woven Materials
Soft technical textiles and non-woven production scrap for downstream recycling.
Film Line Integration
Commonly paired with washing, squeezing, densifying, and pelletizing systems.
How to Choose the Right Plastic Shredder
By Processing Capacity
Match expected kg/h with rotor size, motor power, and pusher configuration while keeping reasonable capacity headroom.
By Output Size
Select screen aperture based on the needs of washing, squeezing, or pelletizing stages.
By Material Type
Film and woven bags require rotor designs that reduce wrapping and promote stable discharge.
By Total Cost
Consider blade life, maintenance access, energy use, and service support, not only initial machine price.
| Parameter | Reference | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable Materials | PE film, PP woven bags, raffia, jumbo bags, non-woven materials | Rotor and screen configuration depend on wrapping tendency and contamination. |
| Use Position | Before washing, squeezing, or pelletizing | Commonly used as the first size reduction stage. |
| Output Size | Screen-defined | Screen size should match downstream processing needs. |
| Control System | PLC with overload and reverse logic | Helps improve continuous production stability. |

The RTM Difference
Anti-Wrapping Focus
The core design is optimized for materials that often jam standard shredders.
Longer Blade Life
Blade materials and wear strategy are selected for demanding film and bag applications.
Project Integration
We can align the shredder with your washing, drying, and pelletizing requirements.
Case Studies & Customer Reviews
Our old shredder constantly wrapped on woven bags. This model runs far more steadily and improved washing line feeding.
Production Director, Midwest Plastics Recycling
We reduced downtime and blade changes after switching to a shredder better suited for film and raffia feedstock.
Operations Manager, Film Recycling Plant
Maintenance & Blade Sharpening
Routine Maintenance
Knife inspection, screen checks, lubrication, and pusher inspection help maintain throughput and output consistency.
Blade Service
Regular sharpening and planned spare parts replacement help reduce unexpected downtime in continuous film processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can this film shredder process?
It is designed for PE film, PP woven bags, raffia, jumbo bags, agricultural film, non-woven materials, and other soft plastics that require anti-wrapping shredding.
Why is rotor design important for film shredding?
Film and woven materials tend to wrap around the rotor. A rotor and blade design optimized for soft plastics helps reduce wrapping, stabilize throughput, and improve continuous operation.
Can this shredder be connected to washing or pelletizing lines?
Yes. It is commonly used before washing, squeezing, drying, or pelletizing lines to create more consistent feed size for downstream processing.
What support do you provide after delivery?
We provide installation guidance, commissioning support, operator training, spare parts service, and long-term technical assistance.
