🌍Plastic Recycling Equipment for Eco-Friendly Carpentry
We are committed to turning plastic waste into durable and sustainable plastic wood. To bring this vision to life, here’s a look at the essential equipment that makes it possible.
1. Plastic Shredder
This shredder helps break down larger plastic waste into smaller, manageable pieces, enabling us to create high-quality recycled materials.
2. Plastic Grinder
The plastic grinder further reduces shredded plastic into fine pieces, ready for the molding process.
3. Plastic Co-Extruder Machine
This machine helps in forming plastic materials into profiles like bars or sheets, which can then be processed into wood-like products.
4. Injection Molding Machine
This vertical injection molding machine is used to create precise plastic molds and other custom shapes for plastic wood projects.
