Effective plastic recycling with granulation machines from Hellweg Maschinenbau
Effective plastic recycling with shredding machines from Hellweg Maschinenbau Hellweg Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is a second-generation family-run company specializing in the manufacture and worldwide distribution of high-quality shredding machines.
The product range includes cutting mills, which operate according to the shear-oblique cutting principle and are designed as laboratory mills, add-on mills, tooth roller mills, central mills, lump mills, punch grid mills, and edge strip mills.
Hellweg shear-cut cutting rotors are manufactured from a raw material blank and therefore have no weld seams or imbalance, while offering high stability and maximum torque. This manufacturing method, which is complex, results in a self-dosing feed behavior of the mills and means that all technical plastics can be ground safely. It does not matter whether the material properties are hard, brittle, tough, or even soft. Hellweg cutting mills, which operate according to the shear-angle cutting principle, are successfully and proven in practice for the comminution of the following plastics:
ABS, ASA, EPS, EPDM, EPS, EVA, CFK, GF, PA, PA6, PA66GF, PC, PE, PE-HD, PE-LD, PP, PET, PPS, PS, PS-E, PTFE, POM, PVB, PVC, PU, PUR, PBT, PEEK, PMMA, TPE
Guaranteed process security during and after granulation
Hellweg Maschinenbau additionally offers solutions and customer-tailored tasks for customers in the plastics and recycling industries, as well as for the food and paper industries. Aside from the focus on granulation machinery for plastics, Hellweg offers numerous customer-oriented special solutions addressing subjects of edge-strip disposal, processing and recycling.
Hellweg film cutters guarantee a clean, sharp edge cut when opening up blown film bubbles into flat film, or in confection of film webs into packaging.
Hellweg pipe cutters are integrated within extraction piping and serve here to reduce volume, as well as smooth conveying away edge-strip material from thin film production locations.
Hellweg guillotines are used to pre-shred edge-strips in sheet production and can break up sheets in thickness up to 18 mm via an eccentric movement solution that remains stabile over a long period.
However, when equipped with roll-fed intake equipment for thin film edge-strips, Hellweg granulators can process edge-strips into either flakes or granule form, as material that can be directly re-introduced into subsequent processes.
Our quality guarantee
Hellweg Maschinenbau produces its machines entirely itself and can therefore guarantee constant quality. The quality assurance system, which we developed ourselves, monitors the entire production chain. All products are submitted to extensive testing prior to despatch.

With their solid construction, Hellweg granulators stand for advanced technology and guarantee compliance with the highest demands for quality – with a well balanced price-performance relationship.
