Paper-Plastic Separation Production Line

Recover usable paper pulp and polyethylene (PE) from suitable PE-coated paper and paper-plastic composite waste.

Hongxin provides integrated separation equipment and production-line planning for factories and recyclers handling laminated paper and plastic materials. The appropriate equipment configuration depends on your feedstock and required processing capacity.

What Materials Can Be Processed?

The line is designed for suitable paper-plastic composites. Share your material photos or samples so our team can assess the right configuration.

Typical feedstocks

PE-coated paper and packaging

Paper-plastic laminated production scraps

Waste label rolls with suitable paper/PE layers

Composite packaging requiring material evaluation

Material compatibility matters.
Multilayer cartons containing aluminum require an appropriate configuration. See our Tetra Pak Recycling solution for that specific material stream.

02 / Process design

From Composite Waste to Recovered Materials

A clear overview of the main processing stages. Individual equipment and handling steps are selected for the customer's material.

1

Material Preparation

Inspect and prepare incoming composite waste for feeding.

2

Feeding

Transfer the material into the separation equipment.

3

Separation

Release paper fibres from the bonded plastic layer.

4

Material Recovery

Collect paper pulp and PE for suitable downstream handling.

Integrated configuration

Designed Around Your Feedstock

A project may include feeding, paper-plastic separation, pulp handling, plastic handling and, when required, additional downstream processing. The illustration shows an integrated arrangement rather than a universal fixed machine specification.

03 / Recovered outputs

Two Valuable Recovered Material Streams

For suitable paper-and-PE laminates, the separation process recovers paper pulp and polyethylene plastic as distinct streams.

Recovered Paper Pulp

Paper fibre is recovered for further dewatering and suitable paper-making or moulded-fibre applications, depending on its quality.

Separated PE Plastic

Recovered PE can undergo additional cleaning, drying and other downstream plastic processing as required.

04 / Production line

An Integrated Recycling-Line Arrangement

Hongxin can plan a connected equipment layout from material input through separation and recovered-output handling. Supporting equipment is selected according to factory space, material characteristics and operating requirements.

Optional downstream modules can be incorporated when the project calls for further PE processing.

The pictured layout is an illustration. The final machinery arrangement and project throughput are confirmed during technical consultation.

05 / Optional downstream processing

Plastic Recovery and Downstream Pelletizing

Separated PE plastic can be further processed into recycled PE pellets through an optional downstream pelletizing line.

From Separated PE to Recycled Pellets

The separation stage produces recovered PE. A separate, optional downstream system can prepare the material for pellet production, depending on its condition and the desired pellet specification.

Hongxin has illustrated a 3 tonnes/hour integrated arrangement for this application. This is not a guaranteed throughput for a standalone pelletizer or every feedstock.

PE pelletizing is optional. It is different from aluminum-plastic composite granulation.
