Soft Film Plastic Recycling Machine Project: Film Crushing & Washing Line for Uganda
Amanya Amram operates a plastic recycling business in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. The client sources post-consumer soft PE and PP film waste locally and needed a reliable soft film plastic recycling machine set to crush and wash the material before pelletizing. In June 2026, he placed an order with Henan Efficient Machinery for a complete crushing and washing line.
Requirement of Film Crushing & Washing Line for Uganda
The client’s raw material is soft PE/PP film — thin, flexible, and heavily contaminated with dirt and residue. Processing this type of material demands:
- A crusher with durable blades that can handle film without wrapping around the rotor
- A washing stage that removes embedded dirt and stains effectively
- Equipment sized for a small-to-medium recycling operation (300–500 kg/h)
The site power supply runs at 415V, 50Hz, 3-phase — a standard configuration for East African industrial users.
Equipment Configuration of the Soft Film Plastic Recycling Machine
Shuliy soft film plastic recycling machines set shipped to Uganda includes four units covering the full crushing-to-washing process chain:
| No. | Equipment | Model / Specs | Key Parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Transportador de Correia | 5m length, 0.5m width | 1.5kW, aluminum alloy geared motor, constant speed |
| 2 | Triturador de plástico | SL-600 | 30kW, 300–500kg/h, 10 knives (6 movable + 4 fixed), 60Si2Mn blade material |
| 3 | Máquina de Lavagem por Fricção | 3.5m length | 22kW, 6mm steel plate, removes dirt and stains |
| 4 | Electric Control Cabinet | For crusher + washer | Integrated control |
Process flow: Raw film → Belt conveyor → Plastic crusher → Friction washing machine → Clean material output
Two design points worth noting:
60Si2Mn crusher blades. This alloy steel offers high hardness and wear resistance, which matters when processing film material that tends to wrap and stretch. The 10-knife configuration (6 rotating + 4 fixed) ensures clean cuts without pulling or jamming. Three sets of spare blades are included in the order.
Friction washer after crusher. Unlike a simple sink tank, the friction washer uses high-speed rotation to scrub the crushed film pieces, removing embedded dirt, adhesives, and surface contaminants. The 6mm steel plate construction handles the abrasive load from sand-contaminated film.
Why This Client Chose Efficient Machinery
Single-source supplier. Crusher, washer, conveyor, and controls from one manufacturer. One point of contact for technical issues.
Matched to the material. The SL-600 crusher with 60Si2Mn blades is specifically designed for soft film — not a general-purpose machine retrofitted for the job.
Friction wash, not just sink wash. For film material with heavy dirt load, friction washing delivers cleaner output than a standard water tank.
Spare parts upfront. Three sets of blades and three sets of mesh shipped with the order — the client can keep running without waiting for replacements from China.
Appropriate scale. 300–500kg/h capacity fits a small-to-medium recycling startup in East Africa — not oversized, not underpowered.
