Soft plastic film is hard to crush. It wraps around shafts, slips between blades, and jams standard crushers. If your plant washes, pelletizes, or bales film waste, a weak crushing stage slows every step that follows.
The
TM-Series PP PE Films Bags Recycling Crusher Machine from Mooge is built for this problem. It cuts PE film, PP woven bags, jumbo bags, and similar soft waste into uniform pieces at 200–1,000 kg/h, depending on the model. This guide explains how the machine works, which materials it handles, how to compare the four models, and what to confirm before you send an inquiry.
TM-Series Plastic Film Crusher for PP PE Film and Woven Bags

The TM-Series is a
plastic film crusher designed for flexible plastic waste. It handles PE agricultural film, packaging film, stretch film, soft plastic film, and PP woven bags. Operators feed bundles or rolls by conveyor belt or by hand, and the machine reduces them to small, even flakes.
In most recycling plants, the crusher is a pre-treatment machine. The flakes then move to a washing line, granulator, squeezer pelletizing machine, agglomerator, or baler. The same crusher suits small recycling workshops and large recycling plants, and Mooge supplies it for cross-border complete-line shipments.
PE PP Film Crusher Machine with 200-1000 kg/h Capacity
The TM-Series covers four output levels, so you can match the machine to your plant instead of paying for unused capacity. This
PE PP film crusher machine is offered in these input capacities:
- TM-600: 200 kg/h
- TM-800: 300 kg/h
- TM-1000: 500 kg/h
- TM-1200: 800–1,000 kg/h
Rated capacity is a guide, not a promise for every material. Real output depends on film type, thickness, moisture, bale density, contamination, screen size, and feeding method. An optional force feeding system helps, because it delivers material at an even speed, so the rotor neither runs empty nor overloads. Tell Mooge your material and target output, and the technical team can confirm the right model.
Plastic Film Crushing Machine with Anti-Tangle V-Shaped Rotor
Tangling is the main reason film crushers stop. The TM-Series solves it through blade layout. A high-speed rotor carries multiple sets of rotor blades, and multiple rows of fixed blades sit on the chamber side walls. The moving and fixed blades form a V-shaped pattern. This
plastic film crushing machine design cuts the film evenly and keeps it from wrapping around the shaft.
The shearing gap between blades is adjustable, so operators can tune the cut as blades wear or the material changes. Pieces that are still too large stay in the chamber and get sheared again until they pass the screen. This repeated cutting gives a consistent flake size for the next process.
Waste PE Film and PP Bag Crusher for Recycling Washing Lines
A film crusher rarely works alone. It is the first machine in a washing or pelletizing process. Mooge supplies the crusher separately, and also as part of a complete
PE/PP Film/Bags Recycling Line. A typical film recycling process runs in this order:
- Sort and bale the waste film or woven bags.
- Crush the material into flakes with the TM-Series crusher.
- Wash and rinse the flakes to remove dirt.
- Dewater and dry the flakes.
- Pelletize the clean, dry flakes.
Mooge lists washing lines by material. For LDPE, HDPE, and other PE film, see the
Waste PE HDPE LDPE Film/Bags Plastic Washing Line. For polypropylene waste, see the
Waste PP Film/Bags Plastic Washing Line. After washing and drying, the flakes can go to a
Plastic Pelletizing Line to produce reusable pellets.
Matching the crusher screen to the washing line matters. Flake size affects washing time, friction, and drying. Share your line layout when you request a quote, so the crusher output suits the next machine.

Heavy-Duty Film Recycling Crusher with SKD-11 Blades and Hydraulic Opening
A crusher runs for long hours, so build quality decides your operating cost. This
film recycling crusher uses the following main components:
- Blades: SKD-11 blades, with D2, DC53, or Handox available as options. The widened rotor blades can be reground 20 to 25 times, which lowers replacement cost.
- Rotor: Forged from 40Cr alloy steel and fully heat-treated for hardness and toughness.
- Hopper: Made from 8 mm steel and fitted with a cover, so plastic pieces do not fly out during crushing.
- Screen: 10 mm thick steel with built-in flanges for quick fitting and removal.
- Motor: WEG, Siemens, or well-known Chinese brands, with full-copper windings and a cooling fan hood.
- Controls: Siemens PLC, Schneider contactors and buttons, and ABB inverters.
The hydraulic cavity opening system saves the most time during maintenance. Operators press one button to open the chamber, with no manual bolt removal. This makes it faster to change rotor blades, fixed blades, and the bottom screen, and it cuts downtime.
Customizable Screen Film Crusher for Uniform Flake Size
Flake size affects everything downstream. The TM-Series uses a detachable screen, so you can order the hole size your process needs. The standard parameter table lists a 50 mm screen, and other sizes are available on request.
As a general rule, smaller holes produce smaller flakes but can lower throughput. Larger holes raise throughput and give bigger pieces. Choose the size based on what your washing line or pelletizer needs. Because the screen is detachable, you can change it later if your material or process changes.
Film Crusher with Metal Detector and Overload Protection
Metal and hard objects are the main threats to blades and motors. The TM-Series includes several safeguards:
- Optional metal detector: Mounted on the feeding conveyor, it detects ferrous metal of 8 mm or larger and non-ferrous metal of 10 mm or larger. It stops the conveyor and sounds an alarm. The conveyor does not restart until an operator removes the metal.
- Overload protection: If a heavy load or jam causes overcurrent, the main motor stops and reverses to clear the jammed plastic.
- Cover safety switch: The machine cuts power when the cover is opened.
These features protect operators and reduce the risk of motor burnout. Good sorting still matters, so remove obvious contaminants before feeding.
What Is a PP PE Film Crusher Machine?
A PP PE film crusher machine is an industrial machine that cuts waste polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) film into small flakes. Film is thin, light, and flexible, so it needs a different blade design than rigid plastic. Film crushers use shearing action, anti-wrap blade layouts, and screens to control output size. Recyclers use them to reduce volume before washing, pelletizing, or baling.
What Materials Can the TM-Series Plastic Film Crusher Process?
Materials Listed for the TM-Series
- Plastic films, including PE agricultural film, packaging film, and stretch film
- Plastic raffia
- PP woven bags and jumbo bags
- PET fiber and yarn
- BOPP labels
- Soft rigid plastic
Details to Share Before You Order
Different materials behave differently in the crushing chamber. Give Mooge these details so the team can recommend the right configuration:
- Material type and film thickness
- Moisture and dirt level
- Form of the waste: loose film, bales, or rolls
- Contaminants such as metal, sand, paper, or labels
- Target hourly output and flake size
How Does a Film Crusher Prevent Plastic Film from Tangling?
The TM-Series keeps film moving through three design features:
- V-shaped blade arrangement: Moving and fixed blades cut the film evenly instead of letting it wrap around the shaft.
- Adjustable shearing gap: Operators can tune the clearance between blades for different film types.
- Bottom screen: Oversized pieces stay in the chamber and are cut again until they pass through.
An optional force feeding system adds another layer of control. It supplies film at a steady rate, which reduces overload and suits 24-hour industrial production.
What Is the Capacity of an Industrial Plastic Film Crusher?
Capacity varies by model and material. The TM-Series ranges from 200 kg/h for the TM-600 to 800–1,000 kg/h for the TM-1200. These factors change the real output of any industrial
plastic film crusher:
- Film thickness and bulk density
- Moisture and contamination level
- Screen hole size
- Motor power and rotor speed
- Manual or conveyor feeding
Avoid choosing a crusher that runs exactly at your line's limit. Ask Mooge to recommend a model with a safe margin for your washing or pelletizing line.
How to Choose the Right PP PE Bags Recycling Crusher Model?
Follow these steps to narrow down your
PP PE bags recycling crusher choice:
- Define the target output in kg/h for the whole line, not only the crusher.
- Identify your main material: PE film, PP woven bags, jumbo bags, or a mix.
- Choose the feeding method: a manual hopper for small batches, or a conveyor belt for continuous work.
- Select the screen size your next machine needs.
- Pick options such as a metal detector, force feeding system, screw loader, blade material, and motor brand.
- Confirm power supply, voltage, and plant layout.
If you are building a new plant, ask for the crusher and washing line together, so the capacities match from the start.
