Laminate Shredder Machine for Laminates & Lamitubes

Anything built from bonded layers: laminated pouches and rolls from flexible packaging lines, lamitubes and toothpaste tubes, blister foil and blister packs, aluminium foil-backed packaging, monocartons and label stock. If your material is film-on-foil-on-film — the kind you cannot tear cleanly by hand — it belongs to this category, and it is what this laminates waste shredder is configured for.

For filled tubes there is a better answer than straight shredding: Raj Electricals manufactures a Lami Tube Squeezing and Product Recovery Machine that squeezes the contents out for recovery before the empty tube is destroyed — valuable when the product inside (toothpaste, cosmetic creams) is itself worth recovering or must be disposed of separately. For empty tubes and tube-making rejects, the laminate shredder handles them directly. Tell us which situation you have.

We build both, and the honest answer is: it depends on your waste. Loose, flexible material in volume often suits one configuration; denser or bulkier laminate streams suit the other. Rather than push whichever machine is on the floor, we look at the form, volume and feeding method of your waste and recommend accordingly — and you can watch your own material run at our works before deciding.

Because intact printed packaging is a brand liability. Pouches and tubes carrying your artwork, batch codes and barcodes can be refilled and passed off as genuine product — a real and recurring problem in FMCG and pharma. Shredding destroys the packaging beyond reuse before it leaves your custody, which is exactly why printing and packaging converters and brand owners install these machines in-house rather than trusting the scrap chain.

Shred size is defined by mesh and customisable from 1 mm up to 30 mm or more, depending on requirement. Brand-destruction duty usually wants a small shred so no readable fragment survives; recycling and co-processing partners may accept larger pieces. Specify what your downstream partner needs and the machine is configured to deliver it.

Every machine is quoted to the job. What moves the number is capacity, throat size, motor rating, MS or SS construction and the automation you add — a blower, a conveyor, a control panel. Our guide to what drives machine cost walks through each of those; send us your material and daily volume and we will size the machine and quote it, usually the same day.

Printing and packaging converters destroying misprints and changeover waste; FMCG manufacturers destroying packaging rejects; pharma companies disposing of blister and foil waste under documentation; and lamitube producers handling line rejects. Laminates waste shredders and grinders are a long-standing Raj Electricals category — the client list includes names like Hindustan Unilever, Dabur, Parle and GSK.
