Plastic Processing and Bag Opening

Accelerate screening and sorting with efficient size reduction

Plastic compounds and plastic bags can cause significant challenges in recycling processes. Due to their durability, stretchiness, and the wide variety of sizes and types—from packaging to film and covers—plastics can disrupt efficient waste management.

Boost plastic recycling with efficient bag opening

Despite the challenges, plastic waste is a precious and versatile raw material. It can be used to create new products, and thanks to its high calorific value, plastic is also ideal for energy production in refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuel (SRF) applications.
However, plastics can often be problematic for recyclers. Plastic bags and films, in particular, can easily jam machinery and halt the entire recycling process. If you want to avoid unexpected downtime, it’s crucial to open plastic bags at the start of the recycling process and reduce the material to a consistent, homogeneous grain size. After this step, plastic processing is just like handling other waste materials.
M&J pre-shredders and fine-shredders are specifically designed to handle plastics of all shapes and sizes. They ensure efficient bag opening and reduce the material to the optimal grain size for smoother recycling operations.
