Case Study: Polytec Group achieves efficient plastic container recycling with UNTHA RS50 pre-shredding

Polytec Group shreds plastic containers at 3 t/h with UNTHA

The Polytec Group, a developer and manufacturer of high-quality plastic solutions, required a pre-shredder to recycle its end-of-life reusable containers. The challenge was to shred the plastic boxes to under 5.9 inches at a throughput of approximately 3 tons per hour. To meet this need, the company turned to vendor UNTHA for a shredding solution.

UNTHA implemented an RS50 4-shaft shredder equipped with a hydraulic feed device and a discharge conveyor. This robust system successfully shreds the plastic at the required rate of 3 t/h, preparing it for further processing into regranulate. The solution provided high machine availability and resistance to contaminants, allowing Polytec to efficiently recycle the material into new food logistics containers.
