A plastics recycling machine is a kind of machine and equipment specialized in recycling plastic waste products. It can sort, clean, crush, melt and other processing of various plastic products into reusable plastic raw materials, providing an effective way for the recycling of plastics. The main working process usually includes the following steps:

Different types of plastics are separated by manual or automated sorting equipment and fed into different processing lines. This is because different plastics have different properties and recycling methods, and sorting can improve the recycling efficiency and quality.

Large plastic products are mechanically shredded into smaller pieces for easier subsequent processing. Shredding can reduce the volume of plastic waste and make it easier to handle and transport.

Water baths, centrifugal force, etc. are used to remove surface contaminants and foreign matter from the plastics. Washing is an important step to ensure the quality of recycled plastics and remove dirt, labels, adhesives and other impurities on the surface of plastic waste.

Hot air or centrifugal force is used to remove moisture from the washed plastic materials. Drying can prevent the plastic from being affected by moisture during the subsequent processing and ensure the stability and quality of the recycled plastic.

The dried plastics are further shredded into smaller granular form to make the plastic more uniform in size and easier to melt and extrude.

The plastic granules are melted at a certain temperature and extruded through a die to form pellets or products. Melting and extrusion can transform the shredded plastic into a form that can be reused, such as plastic pellets, sheets, pipes, etc.

There are also different types of plastic recycling machines with their own characteristics:
