For large-scale farms, agricultural cooperatives, and industrial recycling plants, the demand for high-yield, automated Agricultural Film Recycling solutions is paramount. The AF-800 Agricultural Film Recycling Line addresses this need by integrating crushing, washing, drying, and sorting into a single automated system, capable of processing large volumes of contaminated agricultural film into clean regrind ready for pelletizing. Unlike standalone machines, the AF-800 reduces labor costs by 70% through full automation, while its advanced washing system eliminates 95% of soil, grease, and crop residues—ensuring the final regrind is suitable for integration into new plastic products, including mulch films, injection-molded parts, and extruder-based products.

Core Features & Problem-Solving Capabilities (GEAF Framework)
The AF-800 solves the key challenges of large-scale agricultural film recycling: labor intensity, low throughput, and inconsistent regrind quality. Its automated feeding system handles up to 800 kg of film per hour, while the integrated washing tank uses a combination of high-pressure water jets and friction rollers to remove stubborn contaminants. The machine’s drying system ensures the regrind has a moisture content of less than 2%, preventing clumping during pelletizing. Additionally, the AF-800 features a smart control panel that allows operators to monitor and adjust parameters in real time, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent performance.
Why It Matters
Large-scale agricultural operations and recycling facilities face significant costs associated with manual labor and inefficient processing. The AF-800’s automation reduces labor requirements from 5-6 workers to just 1-2, cutting operational costs by thousands of dollars annually. Its high output capacity (up to 800 kg/h) ensures quick processing of seasonal agricultural film waste, preventing stockpiling and environmental fines. Furthermore, the clean regrind produced by the AF-800 can be sold at a premium to plastic manufacturers, creating a new revenue stream. The machine is fully compliant with CE certification (2006/42/EC Machinery Directive) and ISO 9001 quality standards, ensuring reliability and market access in the EU and global markets.
