UK Machinery for Plastic Recycling

Rising contamination levels, mixed polymer streams, and tighter end-user specifications mean that plastic recycling machinery in the UK must now deliver higher levels of separation, consistency, and efficiency than ever before.

Across the UK, many recycling plants already operate with:

• Shredders and granulators
• Basic plastic washing lines UK
• Drying equipment

Yet they still struggle with:

• Inconsistent recyclate quality
• High contamination carryover
• Inefficient water usage
• Reduced material value

In many cases, the limiting factor is plastic separation machinery UK.

This is why more operators are now choosing to retrofit advanced plastic recycling machinery into existing plants, rather than replacing complete systems.

Rotajet Plastic Recycling Machinery UK – Built for Retrofit Integration

Rotajet Systems Ltd, based in Wakefield, manufactures plastic washing lines UK and plastic separation machinery UK designed specifically for retrofit applications.

Their systems are modular and integrate into existing plants with minimal disruption.

Key technologies include:

Rotajet focuses on complete process performance, not just individual machines.

Common Problems in UK Recycling Plants

• Mixed polymers → solved by sink float tanks
• Contamination → solved by plastic washing systems
• Water issues → solved by filtration
• Low value → solved by better separation

Typical Retrofit Layouts

• Add washing stage before existing line
• Install sink float tanks mid-process
• Upgrade water system
• Improve process after size reduction equipment

Modular upgrades allow step-by-step improvement.
