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.
Key Role in Plastic Recycling
- Size-Based Plastic Separation: Ideal for pre-classifying bottles, caps, films, and rigid plastics to improve the efficiency of polymer-type and color-based sorting downstream.
- Upstream to Optical Sorting: Ensures consistent particle size input to optical sorters, enhancing sorting accuracy and yield.
- Glass Breaking: In mixed waste or bottle recovery streams, the screen can also aid in breaking and removing glass prior to optical separation, minimizing equipment wear.
Advantages
- High Throughput & Low Maintenance: Handles high material volumes with reduced clogging and lower noise levels than traditional trommel screens.
- Anti-Wrap Disc Technology: Interlaced discs minimize material wrapping, reduce cleaning downtime, and ensure smooth operation.
- Versatile Sizing Options: Enables efficient separation and fines removal for precise material grading.
- Compact & Modular Design: Fits well into compact washing or sorting lines without sacrificing performance.
Configuration Options
Available in single-deck (XXS Series) and double-deck (YPS Series) layouts, tailored to match plant capacity and space constraints.

Primary Applications in Plastic Recycling
- PET Bottle Recycling Lines: Pre-sorting bottles, caps, and labels by size before washing and optical sorting.
- PE/PP Film and Rigid Plastic Pre-treatment: Enhances washing, flotation, and pelletizing performance by ensuring consistent feed sizes.
- Optical Sorting Feed Preparation: Removes oversized or undersized particles to stabilize optical sorter throughput and accuracy.
- Glass Contaminant Reduction: In mixed plastic or municipal streams, aids in breaking/removing glass prior to optical or eddy current separation (optional).
By integrating the Roller / Disc Screen into your plastic recycling line—whether for bottle flakes, films, or rigid materials—you ensure a smoother, cleaner, and more efficient sorting process.
