A complete plastic recycling line uses a sequence of recycling machines to convert waste plastic back into usable pellet or regrind. Stage 1: size reduction. Bales and bulky waste enter a plastic shredder (Vecoplan, Weima, SSI) for primary breakdown to 1-3" pieces. Stage 2: granulation. The shredded material is fed into a high-speed plastic granulator (Cumberland, Rapid, Foremost) that reduces it to 6-12 mm regrind. Stage 3: washing. Post-consumer streams pass through float-sink tanks, friction washers, and hot wash systems (Herbold, Sorema) to remove labels, dirt, and contaminants. Stage 4: drying. Mechanical and thermal dryers reduce moisture below 0.5%. Stage 5: separation. Metal detectors, magnetic separators (Bunting), and optical sorters (TOMRA) remove contamination. Stage 6: pelletizing. Clean regrind feeds into a recycling extruder with melt filter and pelletizer (Erema, Gala) producing virgin-quality recycled pellets.

Used plastic recycling equipment prices vary widely by capacity and type. Small single-shaft plastic shredders start at $10,000-$25,000. Dual-shaft and quad-shaft industrial shredders range from $20,000-$80,000, with high-volume recycling shredders running $50,000-$150,000+. Beside-the-press plastic granulators start at $2,000-$5,000; central granulators run $10,000-$50,000. Wash lines (shredder + friction washer + dryer) range $75,000-$400,000+. Complete repelletizing extruder lines from Erema and Coperion run $150,000-$1.5M+ depending on throughput. Plastic balers range $5,000-$15,000 for vertical units to $25,000-$150,000 for horizontal auto-tie production balers. Optical sorters are $50,000-$300,000+.

Meadoworks carries a full range of used plastic shredders, industrial shredders, plastic granulators, plastic balers, and recycling equipment. Single shaft shredders from WEIMA, Vecoplan, and SSI provide controlled size reduction for plastic film, bottles, and post-consumer waste. Dual shaft and quad shaft shredders handle heavy-duty industrial shredding of bulky items, tires, and mixed waste. Beside-the-press plastic granulator machines from Cumberland, Rapid, and Conair handle production regrind, while central plastic granulators process higher volumes from multiple machines.

Used plastic baler machines from International Baler compact recycled materials for efficient storage and transport. Industrial balers are available in vertical and horizontal configurations for different volume requirements. Optical sorting machines from TOMRA and other brands separate plastics by resin type for higher-value recycling. Complete plastic recycling machine lines including wash systems, dryers, and pelletizers are available for turn-key recycling operations.

Used plastic shredder machine prices vary based on shaft configuration, motor horsepower, and throughput capacity. Small single shaft plastic shredders start around $10,000-$25,000. Dual shaft industrial shredders range from $20,000-$80,000. Large quad shaft shredders for high-volume recycling can cost $50,000-$150,000+.

Used plastic granulator machine prices range from $2,000-$5,000 for beside-the-press models to $10,000-$50,000 for central and heavy-duty granulators. Plastic baler prices range from $5,000-$15,000 for vertical balers to $25,000-$150,000 for horizontal auto-tie production balers.
