Heavy-Duty Film Shredder

Product Introduction

Plastic film is the ultimate test for any shredder. Soft, stretchy, and incredibly thin, it wraps around high-speed rotors in seconds, blocks screens with melted goo, and clogs entire processing lines. Whether it's agricultural mulch film, post-consumer stretch wrap, or industrial silage bags, standard crushers spend more time being cleared than actually shredding. You need a machine that was born to handle the challenge of film.

Introducing our Heavy-Duty Twin-Shaft Film Shredder, purpose-engineered to process the lightest, toughest, most entanglement-prone plastics. With aggressive low-speed, high-torque shearing and a proprietary anti-wrap rotor design, it grabs film and cuts it into uniform, manageable flakes without melting, without tangling, and without stopping. From dirty farm film to clean industrial stretch wrap, one machine prepares your feedstock for washing, pelletizing, or waste-to-energy conversion. Stop fighting film — start processing it profitably.

Product Features

Anti-Wrap Shearing Technology Two counter-rotating shafts with specially profiled, hooked blades operate at very low speed (12–25 rpm). The aggressive hooks immediately puncture and grip the film, pulling it into the shear zone. Unlike high-speed grinders where film rides over the rotor and wraps, our geometry forces clean cuts into short, un-entanglable flakes. No manual cut-outs, no daily downtime.

Intelligent Hydraulic Feed & Auto Load Sensing The hydraulically driven ram pushes material against the rotor at a controlled, variable pressure. The PLC continuously senses motor load and adjusts ram speed automatically — if film density spikes, the ram pauses or retracts slightly, then re-engages. This prevents overfeeding, eliminates bridging, and ensures consistent throughput without operator babysitting.

Precision Blades, No Heat, No Melting LDPE and LLDPE films soften at temperatures easily reached by high-speed friction. Our slow-speed cutting action generates virtually no heat. The blades shear rather than grind, producing clean-cut flakes with zero melted edges, no fused clumps, and no plastic smeared onto screens. Your output stays granular and free-flowing.

Quick-Change Screens & Precise Output Sizing Film recyclers often need different flake sizes for washing lines (20–30mm) versus RDF applications (50–80mm). Our hydraulic screen lifter allows one operator to swap screens in under 10 minutes. Choose the exact hole diameter that matches your downstream process.

PLC Smart Control & Safe Operation The integrated control system monitors motor temperature, hydraulic pressure, and shaft speed in real time. It auto-reverses upon overload, displays fault codes on the touchscreen, and comes with full safety interlocks. Optional remote monitoring lets you track performance from anywhere.

Applicable Material

Film Materials We Shred

Agricultural Film: Post-use mulch film, greenhouse covers, silage wrap, and tunnel film. Handles heavy soil contamination; prepares film for washing and recycling into new film or plastic lumber.
Industrial Stretch & Shrink Wrap: Warehouse pallet wrap, logistics stretch film, and shrink bundling film. Clean, high-volume film is reduced to uniform flakes ready for pelletizing.
PP Woven & FIBC Bags: Fertilizer bags, grain sacks, bulk bags (super sacks), and raffia. Strong woven tapes are cut cleanly without unraveling or producing long, unmanageable strips.
Retail & Post-Consumer Film: Shopping bags, garbage bags, bread bags, and mixed consumer plastic film. Shredded for material recovery facilities (MRFs) or waste-to-energy applications.
Laminated & Multi-Layer Film: Barrier films, metalized film, and composite packaging. Low-speed shearing liberates layers without heat, aiding downstream separation.
Construction & Industrial Film: Vapor barriers, damp-proof membranes, geomembrane offcuts, and heavy-duty industrial sheeting.

FAQ

Will the film wrap around the rotors and stop the machine? No. This is the core design differentiator. Our rotor profile, blade geometry, and hydraulic ram control are specifically engineered to prevent wrapping. Film is immediately pierced, cut, and forced through without building up on shafts.

Can the shredder handle dirty agricultural film with soil and stones? Yes. Agricultural film is a primary application. The slow-speed cutting tolerates moderate soil contamination. For heavy dirt and stones, we recommend a dry cleaning or pre-washing step upstream, and we supply wear-protected internal components.

Does the machine melt the film due to friction? No. The ultra-low rotor speed (12–25 rpm) generates negligible frictional heat. Film is sheared cold, producing clean-cut flakes with no melted edges, no gobs, and no blocked screens.

What output size do I need for a washing line vs. RDF? For washing lines, 20–30mm flakes allow efficient friction washing and sink-float separation. For RDF, 50–80mm chunks are standard. Our interchangeable screens let you switch sizes quickly to serve different end markets.

Can you provide a complete film-to-pellet recycling line? Absolutely. We supply turn-key systems: shredder → conveyor → friction washer → sink-float separator → dewatering → pelletizer → finished pellets. Full engineering, installation support, and training included.

How often do blades need re-sharpening when processing film? Clean industrial film causes minimal wear; blades may run 1,000–1,500 hours before re-sharpening. Dirty agricultural film reduces this to 600–1,000 hours. Blades can be re-sharpened 5–7 times, offering excellent long-term value.
