Plastics & Textiles

SSI manufactures a variety of low-speed, high-torque 1, 2 and 4-shaft shredders specially suited for size reduction of plastics and textiles.

Versatile Shredding for All Materials

SSI is a leading manufacturer of low-speed, high-torque shredders, designed specifically for the size reduction of plastics and textiles. Our 1, 2, and 4-shaft shredders are engineered for efficiency and durability, capable of handling a wide range of materials.

Plastics & Textiles Processing

This system ensures efficient plastic recycling by securely shredding materials with the Dual-Shear® two-shaft shredder. A batch-fed infeed conveyor streamlines loading, while the granulator further reduces particle size for optimized reuse or disposal.

Plastics & Textiles Solutions

SSI has many shredders installed in plastic processing applications ahead of granulators to downsize bulky, difficult to manage or compressible materials before additional processing and recycling. We also have many shredders employed converting plastic materials into usable fuel sources for industry. Here are some typical system solutions:

Bales

Bales

SSI technologies can accept direct-fed bales of plastic, downsize the material and regulate flow to downstream processing machinery such as granulators, cubers, pelletizers, etc.
Toll Processing

Toll Processing

Toll processors never know exactly what they may receive, and therefore they want to be ready for anything. SSI shredders are able to handle the range of materials and they are also easy to keep clean between batches, thanks to slow speed, high torque technology.
Foam

Foam

With numerous installations, SSI Dual-Shear® and Uni-Shear® shredders are highly reliable and efficient solutions for processing carpet pad and foam for reclamation.
MRF Residuals

MRF Residuals

SSI shredders can convert commingled combustible materials, including textiles, foam and plastics, into materials suitable for use as a fuel for industry.
