We discuss feedstock
and goals
Free of charge, we analyze the composition of your waste, your volumes and existing equipment, and draft a preliminary line concept.

The recycling line,
step by step.
The stages our equipment covers. Shredding, drying and extrusion are selected as part of a turnkey line.
- 01

Pelletizing
Hot cutting of the melt into pellets
Closed water loop
T-5000 water treatment Wash water is treated and returned to the cycle
04 — Catalog
Machines that
work as a system.
Complete lines, individual machines and components, all made in-house.
Turnkey lines
Pelletizing lines
Full cycle: shredding, washing, drying and pelletizing of plastics with feedstock contamination of up to 50% and more.
Washing and drying
Dewatering centrifuge
Intensive moisture removal from shredded film, yarn and rigid plastics before drying.
Washing and drying
Friction washer
Deep cleaning of film, big-bag (FIBC) yarn, bags and rigid plastics by intensive friction.
Components and systems
Screw feeder
Feeds film, big-bag (FIBC) yarn and regrind into the extruder without an agglomeration step.
Melt & pelletizing
Pelletizing head
Hot die-face cutting of the melt for uniform HDPE, LDPE and PP pellets.
Components and systems
T-5000 water treatment
Closed water loop for washing lines: treated water returns to the cycle up to 20 times.
Melt & pelletizing
Die plates and knives
Self-centering die plates and floating knives for a clean cut and consistent pellet size.
Washing and drying
Flotation washer
Primary washing of heavily contaminated plastics: separates dirt, sand, stones and heavy contaminants.
Components and systems
Pneumatic conveying
Contact and ejector fans move pellets, regrind and flakes without manual handling.
Melt & pelletizing
Vacuum degassing
Removes gases and moisture vapor from the polymer melt, so pellets have no moisture droplets or delamination.
Components and systems
Storage hopper
Stores feedstock and doses it evenly into the extruder, screw feeder or agglomerator.
Melt & pelletizing
Screen changer
Four replaceable 200–250 mm elements: melt filtration without stopping the extruder.
Components and systems
Screws and shafts
Balanced washer shafts, centrifuge rotors and conveyor screws, including stainless steel versions.
Components and systems
Thrust bearing unit
Bearing unit for RTs-2u cylindrical gearboxes, designed for high axial loads.
05 — Line upgrades
New potential
for your line.
Replacing all your equipment is not always necessary. We improve and upgrade existing lines, including Chinese-built ones: we replace key units and rebuild washing, degassing and filtration to achieve consistent product quality.
06 — How we work
From your project
to a running plant.
We discuss feedstock
We propose a solution
for your site
We select or design the units, work out the configuration and estimated payback, and show what can be improved on your current line.
We commission
and support
We manufacture and deliver the equipment, carry out installation and commissioning, and help you reach planned capacity.
07 — NPO Himmash
Behind the equipment —
engineering experience.
We design and manufacture industrial equipment for recycling municipal solid waste (MSW) and post-consumer plastics. We launch turnkey lines at operating plants — from the technical specification and design documentation to commissioning and reaching rated capacity.
We can design lines for difficult and heavily contaminated feedstock where standard equipment does not deliver the required result. We work with specialized Russian design institutes, so our solutions are easier to integrate at your plant and to get approved.

10 — FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What information do you need to select equipment?
Tell us what feedstock you process and how contaminated it is, what throughput you need per hour or per shift, and what you want as output — clean flakes or pellets. If you already have equipment, describe it, and we will select units that fit into your existing line. The initial analysis of your feedstock and task is free of charge.
What feedstock can be recycled?
LDPE and HDPE polyethylene, polypropylene (including big-bag (FIBC) yarn and bags), thick-walled plastics and PET flakes, and, as part of complete lines, glass-filled PA (PA-GF), ABS and PVC. The lines are designed for feedstock contamination of up to 50% and more.
Do you only supply complete lines?
No. We supply both complete turnkey lines and individual machines and components: centrifuges, washers, pelletizing heads, melt filters, screws and shafts.
Can you upgrade an existing line?
Yes. You do not have to replace all your equipment: we improve and upgrade existing lines, including Chinese-built ones. We replace key units and rebuild washing, degassing and filtration.
What are the lead times and terms of supply?
They depend on the equipment. Lead time is 20 to 60 working days. Payment is usually 70% prepayment, 30% after manufacture. The warranty is 6 or 12 months. Exact terms are listed on each product page.
Why does a line cost more than its catalogue units added up?
The site lists prices of individual machines and units. A turnkey line also includes the shredder, extruder, conveyors and pneumatic conveying, water treatment, engineering, installation and commissioning, so its price is calculated from a specification for your feedstock and output.
Do you handle installation and commissioning?
Yes. We supply the equipment, carry out installation and commissioning, and help you reach planned capacity.
Where is your production located?
Design and manufacturing are based in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast. We ship equipment by freight carrier; pickup from the factory is also possible.
