Film Recycling
Advanced Film Recycling for High-Quality PCR Materials
Turning Post-Consumer Film Waste into Premium Recyclates
Recycling lightweight plastic films requires more than conventional processing. Moisture, dust, inks, adhesive residues, and fluctuating material streams often reduce recyclate quality and process stability.
The combination of the MAS DRD Dry Cleaning Machine and the iQonicTwin PreDensifier creates a highly efficient recycling solution for post-consumer films, flexible packaging, fibers, nonwovens, PP raffia, and XPS materials.
Developed in partnership with Siempelkamp Size Reduction, this advanced technology delivers cleaner input material, stable extrusion, low gel formation, and consistently high-quality PCR output for demanding film applications.
DRD Dry Cleaning Technology
Waterless Cleaning for Better Film Recycling
The MAS DRD Dry Cleaning Machine removes dust, sand, fines, paper particles, and moisture from contaminated film streams — completely without water.
This dry preprocessing step improves extrusion stability, reduces operating costs, and creates the ideal conditions for high-quality blown film and cast film production.
Key Benefits
- Waterless washing technology
- Dry and contamination-free material feed
- Reduced disposal and maintenance costs
- Improved melt quality and transparency
- Higher process stability
iQonicTwin PreDensifier
Next-Generation Film Recycling Technology
The iQonicTwin PreDensifier combines Siempelkamp’s advanced PreDensifier technology with the MAS conical co-rotating twin-screw extruder.
Unlike conventional cutter compactors, the system enables controlled densification and stable feeding without thermal overload, clumping, or inconsistent melt quality.
The result is an energy-efficient recycling process with superior product consistency and reliable operation — even with challenging post-consumer waste streams.
Designed for:
- LDPE & LLDPE film recycling
- Flexible packaging waste
- Printed films & stretch films
- PP woven bags & raffia
- Fibers & nonwovens
- Fleece & XPS recycling
Key Advantages
- Reduced gel formation and black spots
- Stable and reproducible processing
- 0.22 kWh/kg energy efficiency
- No water injection required
- Instant start & stop capability
- No cake formation
- Easy cleaning and maintenance
- Fully automated process control
Smart Technology for the Circular Economy
Together, the DRD Dry Cleaning Machine and the iQonicTwin PreDensifier set new standards in plastic film recycling — enabling recyclers and converters to produce high-quality PCR materials with greater efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
