What Is the Most Efficient Way to Recycle Waste Agricultural Film?

In major agricultural regions worldwide, waste agricultural plastic film has become a severe environmental challenge known as “white pollution” due to its extreme resistance to degradation.
It damages soil structure, leads to reduced crop yields, and harms ecosystems. Currently, most waste film ends up in landfills or is incinerated, which not only occupies valuable land but also risks causing secondary pollution.
Farmers lack motivation to recycle due to low returns, while enterprises struggle with high processing costs, making large-scale operations unfeasible. This creates a vicious cycle that has plagued the globe for decades.
At its demonstration base in Xinjiang, PalletMach has successfully transformed waste agricultural film from farmland into high-quality plastic pallets using independently developed molding technology.

Intelligent Sorting: Solving the Core Challenge of Recycling Waste Agricultural Film

The biggest hurdle in Recycling Waste Agricultural Film in Xinjiang’s cotton fields is separation and purification. Waste film is often heavily entangled with cotton stalks, soil, and other impurities. Traditional manual sorting is inefficient and costly, making large-scale processing impossible.
PalletMach’s project addresses this pain point with advanced technologies, including water-free air separation, intelligent shredding, and automated mechanical sorting. These innovations enable efficient and precise separation of waste agricultural film from contaminants.

This intelligent sorting system drastically improves separation efficiency and reduces overall production costs. By providing pure raw materials for subsequent processing, it completely reverses the “thankless” dilemma of traditional Waste Agricultural Film recycling.

Direct Molding: Simplifying the Production Process for Recycled Waste Agricultural Film

After precise separation and cleaning, the Waste Agricultural Film is fed directly into PalletMach’s production line without the need for granulation. This innovation significantly simplifies the production process, saving both time and costs.
The production line first uses a high-efficiency plastic extruder to heat and melt the Waste Agricultural Film, ensuring uniform material consistency.

The molten material is then transferred to PalletMach’s independently developed Plastic Pallet Machine, which completes the plastic pallet molding in one step under high temperature and pressure.

PalletMach’s Plastic Pallet Machine features a robust three-beam four-column structure, driven by servo motors from renowned brands, and is equipped with an advanced PLC automatic control system, ensuring stable and efficient production.
The equipment boasts strong raw material adaptability, capable of processing a variety of mixed waste plastics (including PET, PP, PE, PVC, HDPE, LDPE, etc.).
This flexibility further lowers raw material requirements and overall costs for Recycling Waste Agricultural Film.

Superior Quality: Pallet products meet market demands

With the latest batch of equipment successfully commissioned and operating stably at the Xinjiang demonstration base, tons of Waste Agricultural Film are being converted into practical plastic pallet products every day.
The pallet molds are made of P20 mold steel, ensuring each finished product meets high standards with uniform thickness, smooth edges, precise holes, and a glossy surface.
Molds support on-demand customization, flexibly adapting to diverse customer requirements for pallet specifications and styles.
