Key parameters of the SMART Line for an informed investment decision
5-8
types of raw materials and a wide range of functions (one line for multiple raw material streams)
Wide range of applications – the SMART Line is highly versatile and processes film, post-manufacturing waste, and hard plastics. It easily adapts to various technological processes, which translates into excellent manufacturing flexibility. Its modular structure and compatibility with other lines perfectly fit the Smart Production concept – fewer stoppages, more control, and higher efficiency.
Flexible
recycling without stoppages
SMART is an intelligent recycling system whose constant material feeding ensures smooth, uninterrupted, and fully optimised operation. The machine’s design allows for the processing of various plastics one after another without stopping the process. This results in higher efficiency, lower material loss, and more accurate real-time quality control.
Up to 40%
smaller machine footprint
Integrated processes / compact construction
SMART is one of the most compact recycling lines in its class. Its footprint is as small as possible, which allows for using the shop floor in a more efficient way and increasing the flexibility of the technological system. By integrating key processes into one line, we were able to shorten the material flow path and reduce the number of transfer points, and thus, lower losses and increase operational stability.
The numeric and financial data presented above have been calculated based on average industry values for the SMART machine option.
Additional parts/components
HEADS
They come in two variants – water-ring die head and air-ring die head.
CONVEYOR BELT
Suitable for conveying agglomerates of cut film, agglomerated film sheets, or waste to the shredder hopper.
GRANULATE TRANSPORTING SYSTEM
Featuring an automatic material feeding, a material quantity sensor, and a dust removal system.
METAL DETECTOR
Prevents unwanted metal parts from entering the crusher or extruder.
🔧 SMART Line modules and configurations
SmartTrim™ – a module for feeding edge trim directly to the extrusion section.
SmartPellet™ – an air or water pelletising system; the technology should be adjusted to the type of processed material and the requirements regarding the granulate quality.
SmartRollFeed™ – a feeder for take-up winders, rolls, and film waste material; capable of operating simultaneously with the SmartTrimTM module.
SmartLift™ – a feeding conveyor for loading loose, irregular waste directly into the shredder.
SmartScreen™ – a manual or automatic filter-swapping system designed for processing waste in the form of flakes, rolls, and products from offline manufacturing lines.
SmartVac™ – a vacuum degassing unit (single- or dual-vent), allowing for processing of printed or hygroscopic materials.
SmartDetect™ – a sensor for monitoring the pelletising process and automatically reporting any operational irregularities.

FAQ
What is an integrated SMART Line?
SMART Line integrates shredding, extruding, and pelletising into a single machine.
What is its application?
With its integrated shredding, extruding, and pelletising, the SMART Line is best used for recycling foil, HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, LLDPE materials, and for processing of materials with a small amount of printing or metallisation.
What is the delivery time?
Precise production and delivery dates are determined individually after the machine specifications have been approved. Please contact our technical and sales departments to estimate the lead time.
Can the SMART Line be used for recycling?
Yes, the SMART Line is designed to allow independent recycling by feeding materials with a conveyor belt or a screw feeder, as well as to recycle edge-trims.
