HDPE blue drums (High Density Polyethylene Blue Drums) are commonly used containers in chemical, food and industrial transportation for their high strength, chemical resistance and recyclability.

As a large number of blue drums reach the end of their useful life, how to effectively recycle these waste plastics becomes a key issue. crushing and recycling of HDPE blue drums is a highly efficient way to process waste drums into reusable plastic pellets for resource reuse.

Polyethylene blue drum recycling process

Collect waste HDPE blue drums, remove debris from them (e.g. residual liquids, metal attachments, etc.), and sort them according to material (e.g. HDPE vs. other plastics).

Before shredding, the blue drums need to be high-pressure cleaned to remove dirt, oil and other contaminants from the surface to ensure the purity of the recycled material.

Preliminary cutting and crushing of the blue barrels using a plastic pulverizer to break them into small pieces or fragments, the fragment size is generally between 10-30 mm.
