A plastic-coated paper recycling machine is specifically engineered to address this layered-materials problem — separating fiber from film without destroying value.
What Is a Plastic Coated Paper Recycling Machine? A plastic-coated paper recycling machine is a specialized processing line designed to:
Mechanically break down laminated paper, separate the PE film from the paper fiber, and recover clean pulp
1. Pre-Shredding System
Heavy-duty shredders reduce laminated sheets into uniform pieces.
Uniform sizing ensures stable pulping efficiency.
Blade durability is critical because laminated materials accelerate wear.
2. Controlled Hydrapulping
Unlike ordinary pulping, the system operates at optimized conditions:
Temperature, Rotor speed, Retention time, Consistency level
The goal is to loosen the bond between fiber and PE film without shredding the film into small flakes. This stage determines overall recovery efficiency.
3. Film Separation & Extraction
Separated PE film is removed through:
Drum screens/Pressure screens/Specialized extraction devices
High-quality systems ensure that plastic remains in larger sheets, making it easier to clean, dry, and resell.
4. Multi-Stage Screening
Remaining pulp passes through fine screening to remove:
Residual plastic fragments, Adhesive particles, Coating residues. This ensures high pulp purity suitable for board production or molded pulp products.
5. Water Recycling System
Plastic-coated paper processing generates more contaminants than normal paper.
Closed-loop water circulation: Reduces freshwater usage, Cuts operational cost.Ensures environmental compliance
Sustainable processing is no longer optional — it is mandatory.
A plastic-coated paper recycling machine is not just about separating fiber from film — it is about transforming complex waste streams into dual-value outputs
