For construction sites, plastic product factories, and remote recycling points, transporting large volumes of waste plastics to centralized recycling facilities is costly and inefficient. The Plastic Recycling Machine (Model: PR-500) is a mobile, portable shredder and granulator designed for on-site plastic waste disposal. Easily transportable to any location, it processes waste plastics (e.g., plastic pipes, film, containers) on-site into regrind, reducing transportation costs and boosting recycling efficiency.
Plastic Recycling Machine
Core Features & GEAF Framework Application
Goal (G): Provide a portable, on-site plastic recycling solution that eliminates the need for transporting waste plastics—reducing costs and improving recycling efficiency for construction sites, factories, and remote areas.
Evidence (E): Tested in 12 construction sites and 8 remote recycling points, the PR-500 model reduces transportation costs by 60% and improves on-site recycling efficiency by 50%. Equipped with a diesel generator, it can operate without an external power supply and has a service life of 8+ years with proper maintenance.
Action (A): The machine features a mobile chassis with wheels, suitable for transportation by truck. It comes with a 25 kW diesel generator (or electric motor) for off-grid operation, capable of processing 500-800kg of waste plastics per hour. Its compact shredding unit (rotor diameter 377mm) can crush large plastic products (e.g., plastic pipes, buckets) into small flakes, and the integrated granulator produces 3-5mm pellets. Easy to assemble and disassemble, it weighs only 3.5 tons—making it suitable for narrow and remote locations. It also has a simple control panel, allowing on-site workers to operate it with ease.
Feedback (F): Users report that the PR-500 cuts transportation costs by 60% compared to transporting waste plastics to centralized facilities, and the on-site pellets can be directly reused or sold locally—creating immediate economic value. Its diesel-electric dual power supply ensures operation in remote areas without electricity, and its compact design allows access to narrow construction sites. Maintenance is simple, with replaceable blades and a dust-proof design to protect on-site workers.
Why It Matters: Transporting waste plastics is a major cost and environmental burden for on-site operations (construction sites, factories). This Plastic Recycling Machine solves this problem by enabling on-site disposal, reducing transportation costs and carbon emissions. It also improves recycling efficiency, ensuring waste plastics are not discarded on-site and reducing environmental pollution. For remote areas, it provides access to recycling capabilities that would otherwise be unavailable, promoting circular economy development in underserved regions.
