Rubber shredders are engineered for tough tire and elastomer recycling, using low-speed, high-torque cutting to handle elastic materials and separate steel wire. Compared to single- and double-shaft designs, they offer cleaner, more controlled output for tire processing.

A high-speed centrifugal dryer (also known as a plastic dewatering machine) offers the most efficient solution — removing up to 95–98% of surface water within seconds, before the material enters a thermal dryer or extruder.

Amstar provides pelletizing lines for different types of plastics. This guide shows which line fits which material—single-screw, two-stage single-screw, or twin-screw—along with key points like mixing, degassing, and filtration.

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.
