Processing Different Types of Plastic Waste
The versatility of MAIKONG’s small plastic shredder machine extends to handling various types of plastic waste, making it an ideal solution for recycling operations dealing with mixed plastic streams.

Various plastic types before and after shredding process
Commonly Processed Plastic Types
#2 HDPE
- Plastic totes and trays
- Crates, bins, and bottles
- Storage containers and buckets
- Caps, lids, and jugs
- Pallets and pipe sections
#4 LDPE/LLDPE
- Plastic films and sheets
- Stretch and shrink wrap
- Bags and flexible packaging
- Rotomolded parts
- Agricultural films
#5 PP
- Woven bags and sacks
- Containers and bins
- Bottle caps and closures
- Automotive parts
- Packaging materials
Processing Challenges and Solutions
Flexible Materials
Films and flexible plastics can wrap around standard rotors. Our specialized film rotor design prevents wrapping and ensures efficient cutting of even the thinnest materials.
Rigid Materials
Hard plastics require more cutting force. Our heavy-duty blade configurations and robust drive systems handle rigid materials without excessive wear or power consumption.
Contaminated Materials
Our shredders can handle moderate contamination. For heavily contaminated streams, we recommend pre-cleaning or our specialized contamination-resistant blade design.
Mixed Plastic Types
When processing mixed plastics, our universal blade configuration provides the versatility needed to handle varying material properties in a single pass.

Integration with Existing Recycling Systems
MAIKONG’s small plastic shredder machines are designed for seamless integration into both new and existing recycling operations, serving as a critical first step in the plastic recycling process.

Complete recycling line with shredder as the primary processing stage
Common Integration Scenarios
Standalone Processing
Used independently for size reduction before manual sorting or external processing, ideal for smaller operations or specific waste streams.
Pre-Processing Stage
Integrated as the first step in a complete recycling line, feeding into washing, separation, and granulation systems.
In-House Waste Management
Installed within manufacturing facilities to process production scrap and rejected parts for immediate reuse.
Post-Shredding Options

Material flow options after the shredding process
- Direct Reuse: Shredded material can sometimes be directly reintroduced into production processes, especially for clean in-house scrap.
- Further Size Reduction: For applications requiring smaller particle size, the output can be fed into a granulator for further processing.
- Washing and Separation: Contaminated materials can proceed to washing and separation systems to remove impurities.
- Pelletizing: Clean shredded material can be extruded and pelletized to create recycled plastic pellets for manufacturing.
- Alternative Applications: Shredded plastic can also be used for RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) or as feedstock for pyrolysis systems.
“The versatility of our small plastic shredder machine makes it the perfect starting point for any plastic recycling operation, regardless of scale or complexity.”
