This South African installation tackles woven polypropylene jumbo bags with a single-shaft shredder. Watch how the cutting stage turns a large, awkward sack into pieces that are easier to move through a recycling plant. It illustrates the first job of the line before the material reaches washing or pelletizing.
What the shredder does to bulky bags
The South African installation uses a single-shaft shredder at the front of the process. Its job is to turn large woven polypropylene sacks into pieces that downstream equipment can handle. The same type of cutting stage can be used for flexible film.
When sizing the shredder, share the dimensions of the largest bags and how they will be fed. Loose bags, compressed bales and bags with straps present different feeding conditions. The downstream wash or pelletizing stage determines how small the pieces need to be.
