Breaking the Four Major Industry Challenges, Revolutionizing High-Value Recycling

Flexible Plastic Recycling Solution

Background

Waste agricultural film, industrial film, and other plastic films are generally characterized by their light weight, tendency to cling, and high impurity content. Traditional recycling methods struggle to achieve efficient cleaning and effective separation, resulting in poor-quality recycled plastic with limited application value and economic benefits. Addressing this pain point, Boretech has introduced an advanced film recycling solution that successfully overcomes the four major challenges of conventional processes.:Low Washing Efficiency, Limited Processable Material Types, High Residual Moisture, High Energy Consumption & Emissions.

Feature

▶Large Capacity up to 1500 kg/h
▶Deep Cleaning, High Output Quality; Impurity Content ≤1% 
▶Precise Closed Loop Temperature Control;Moisture Content ≤5%
▶Reducing Energy Consumption and Pollution

The basic module, combined with optional modules, enables the delamination of multi-layer films, separation of paper label, and removal of organic residues, sediment, adhesives, printing ink, and volatile organic compounds.

Basic Module for Recycling Post-Industrial and Post-Consumer Films
▶Shredding Module
Films often come in irregular sizes, are bulky, and prone to tangling. The shredder breaks them into smaller pieces, facilitating feeding and ensuring efficient operation of downstream processes such as dry impurity removal.Film feedstock is often challenging to handle due to its irregular size, bulky nature, and tendency to entangle. Using a shredder to break it down into smaller fragments effectively resolves feeding issues in downstream processes and facilitates stable and efficient operation of subsequent stages, such as dry cleaning.
▶Pre-Washing & Crushing Module
Materials undergo intensive washing in a high-speed pre-washer, where impurities settle at the bottom and are periodically discharged into the water circulation system for removal. The cleaned material is then transported via water flow to a crusher for wet grinding, which also performs friction washing, extending blade life. The crushed material and water mixture enter a friction dewatering machine, where impurities are separated and discharged with water through the mesh.
▶Rinsing & Squeezing Module
After high-speed rinsing and float-sink separation, the material enters the friction washer, where mechanical action and water flow work together to force impurities through the mesh, achieving effective cleaning and separation. The process is followed by a mechanical dewatering step to further reduce moisture content.
▶Dewatering & Drying Module
After mechanical dewatering, the material enters a centrifugal dryer where its moisture content is reduced to below 8%. Fine dust and powders are simultaneously extracted and collected via an integrated negative pressure conveying system. The material then undergoes a two-stage convective thermal drying process, further reducing the moisture content to below 5%.

Optional Modules for Recycling Different Types of Films
▶Dry Impurity Removal Module
Effectively removes high levels of solid impurities (e.g., from agricultural mulch films) without using water.
▶Hot Washing Module
Wash films to remove labels, adhesives, printing ink (including resins, pigments, solvents), and heavy oil-based contaminants. Effectively removes residual adhesives, ink, and oils on the film surface, ensuring quality in subsequent processing (e.g., avoiding black spots during pelletization or defects in recycled films).
