The Roller / Disc Screen is a high-performance, heavy-duty screening solution specifically designed for plastic recycling lines. Featuring multiple rotating shafts equipped with cast-steel or coated discs, this equipment excels at precise size-based separation, making it a vital pre-sorting unit for modern PET, HDPE, PP, and mixed plastic recycling systems.

In the ever-evolving world of plastic recycling, drying efficiency is critical. Excess moisture in plastic flakes can lead to lower pellet quality, increased energy consumption, and equipment wear.

In the plastic recycling process, drying is a crucial step that directly affects the efficiency and quality of downstream processes such as pelletizing and extrusion.

This guide outlines the detailed steps for replacing the rotary and static blades, ensuring safe and effective replacement with minimal downtime.

From March 24 to 26, 2025, Amstar proudly participated in the Plastics Recycling Conference (PRC) at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

Amstar’s Laser Filter System is designed to address one of the most critical challenges in plastic recycling: the efficient removal of solid industrial contaminants such as wood chips, paper fibers, stones, metal flakes, and other non-melting residues.

This pelletizing system is specially developed for processing PET flakes, especially when the input material is not fully clean.

Looking for durable, high-performance replacement blades for your plastic shredder? We’ve got you covered. We stock a wide range of shredder blades for immediate shipment, including both fixed blades (stationary knives) and rotating blades (rotary knives).

Plastic pipes, made from materials such as HDPE, PE, PVC, and PPR, are widely used across industries, including sanitation, construction, and telecommunications.

Among the most common options are single shaft and double shaft shredders, each with distinct advantages suited to different types of materials and operational requirements.
