As the cost of virgin resins are ever in flux, successful manufacturers all over the world have realized the value of in-house reclaiming of their plastic scrap for reuse in the manufacturing process. Likewise, recycler’s of plastic materials (also called ‘toll-grinders’) have made a business of reclaiming plastic waste and selling the recycled pellets back to the manufacturers. Of course to be successful in either venture, means choosing the right machine’s for the job - not only to generate the required end-product, but to generate it cheaply & consistentlyWhat is cheaply? To arrive at a concrete conclusion, the upfront cost of the equipment must be taken into consideration. But should not be the deciding factor. Where one equipment line might be cheaper upfront, the manpower, maintenance & longevity issues of his ‘inexpensive line’ might cost you the farm! Whether you are a recycler of plastics, or a manufacturer who is contemplating installing your own reclaim line, Eurohansa can take the guess work out of choosing the right machinery for your application. We offer single machine’s, or complete & automated lines. Here are the basic components of a plastics recycling or reclaim line;

The ZENO Shredders are the culmination of more than 25 years of manufacturing and application experience, which show in every detail of these heavy-duty machines. Packed with design features and engineering know-how, the ZTLP shredder is available in more than 30 different (standard) sizes to suit virtually any application. For throughput capacities from 200 lbs./hr. up to 20,000 lbs/hr. with your choice of classifying screens from ½” up to 4”, ZENO through Eurohansa, Inc delivers the right machine for your application. In some cases, the ZTLP Shredders can be used in a stand-alone capacity, reducing your scrap to the required particle size in just on step. Depending on your requirements, you may require a two-step system, in which a traditional knife-type granulator is needed. We do work with several top manufacturers and we can supply the complete turnkey system if needed. To compliment the installation, we carry a wide variety of auxiliary equipment such as infeed and discharge conveyors, metal detection & separation devices, automatic box-dumpers. Down stream equipment such as secondary grinders, storage silo’s, blowers, cyclone’s and fines separation equipment.


High speed – knife type – Granulators are the most widely used and preferred method of size-reduction equipment. Typically, these machines are located near the production equipment or in some central location where someone is paid to feed scrap into the machine all day. More & more,people are adding a shredder to this line, to automate & streamline the scrap reclaim systems, but the Granulators still play a major roll. Where Shredders are incorporated, the
