E Waste Recycling Machine for Electronic Plastics
TV cabinets, monitor shells, appliance bodies and printer housings: our e-waste recycling machines shred and grind the plastic side of e-waste into regrind that compounders buy. Shredders and grinders built by Raj Electricals since 1985.
The E-Waste Plastic Challenge
India is among the world’s largest generators of electronic waste, and a large share of it by weight is plastic: TV and monitor cabinets, washing-machine and refrigerator panels, printer and set-top-box housings, keyboards, mixers and the casing of practically every appliance that reaches a dismantler. The metals and circuit boards get the attention because they carry the precious-metal value, but the plastic fraction has to move too, and a registered recycler who cannot process housings efficiently ends up storing mountains of awkward, bulky shells.
The regulatory frame has tightened. The E-Waste (Management) Rules route electronics through registered dismantlers and recyclers, with EPR obligations on producers and documentation down the chain, so formal-sector recyclers are receiving growing volumes and must demonstrate genuine processing, not just aggregation. The plastic itself is workable: housings are mostly ABS, HIPS and PC blends that compounders buy as sorted regrind. The obstacles are bulk (a TV shell is mostly air), embedded metal (screws, inserts, shielding) and the sorting needed to keep polymer streams and flame-retardant grades separate so the output stays saleable.
Where Our Electronic Waste Shredder Fits in E-Waste Recycling
A complete e-waste recycling plant runs several kinds of machine: dismantling benches, separation and metal-recovery equipment for boards and cables, and size-reduction machines for the plastic. Raj Electricals supplies the size-reduction side for plastics. The working sequence is dismantle first, shred second: boards, wiring, motors and transformers come out at the dismantling table and go to their own recovery streams, and the stripped plastic shells go to the shredder. Our guide explains what each e-waste machine does in a full plant.
A dual shaft shredder is the primary machine: housings and casings are torn into compact shred, with the model sized to your daily volume. Large, rigid cabinets and appliance bodies can instead run through the S3-600 single shaft shredder, rated at 300–500 kg/hr with a 600 × 1000 mm side feeding hopper. Confirm your housing mix at a trial. Where compounders want uniform granules rather than shred, an RE-series plastic grinder provides the second stage, with the firm rule that grinder feed must be metal-free, because stray screws break grinder blades. Sort ABS from HIPS, keep visibly flame-retardant grades separate, and the regrind earns compounder prices instead of mixed-plastic rates.
E-Waste Plastic Shredding Process, From Housing to Regrind
- Collection & channelization E-waste reaches the registered dismantler/recycler with the documentation the E-Waste Rules require
- Manual dismantling Boards, wiring, motors, CRTs and batteries are separated into their own recovery streams
- Metal stripping & sorting Screws, inserts and shielding are removed, housings are sorted by polymer and flame-retardant grade
- Primary shredding Stripped housings are shredded, dual shaft for mixed casings, single shaft for bulky cabinets
- Secondary grinding Metal-free shred is ground through a screened mesh into uniform granules where buyers require it
- Regrind dispatch Polymer-sorted ABS/HIPS regrind goes to compounders for new molded products

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of machinery are needed for e-waste recycling?
A full e-waste recycling plant combines several kinds of machinery. Dismantling benches and hand tools come first, to remove boards, batteries, wiring, motors and screens. Size-reduction machines follow: a primary shredder for plastic housings, then a grinder where buyers want uniform granules. Magnets and separation equipment pull out stray metal, and boards and cables go to specialist metal-recovery processors. Raj Electricals supplies the size-reduction machinery for the plastic fraction: dual shaft and single shaft shredders and RE series grinders. If you are planning e waste recycling plant machinery from scratch, tell us your dismantling output and we will size the plastics line.
Which plastics come out of e-waste, and what are they worth?
Mostly ABS and HIPS (TV and monitor cabinets, printer bodies, appliance panels) with PC and PC/ABS blends in chargers and premium housings, and PP in some white-goods parts. Sorted, metal-free ABS regrind is one of the better-priced recycled plastics in India because compounders reuse it directly in new molded products. Mixed, unsorted shred sells at a steep discount, which is why the sorting table earns its keep. Housings with flame-retardant additives should be kept as a separate lot, because buyers treat them as a distinct grade.
Do screws and metal inserts have to come out before shredding?
Before grinding, absolutely. Before shredding, as far as practical. The dual shaft shredder tolerates the odd small screw far better than a blade grinder does, but every piece of metal that enters the line dulls or breaks cutting edges and ends up in your regrind, where buyers penalise it heavily. The economical practice: strip visible metal at dismantling, shred, then pass the shred under a magnet before the grinder stage. Never feed metal into an RE-series grinder: broken blades are the guaranteed result.
What capacity does a registered e-waste recycling unit need?
Match the machine to your dismantling output, not your collection licence. How much plastic a dismantling line yields depends on what you strip and how many people strip it, so measure it over a few typical shifts. A dual shaft shredder sized to that shift tonnage covers most units. High-volume units running bulky cabinets move to the S3-600 at 300–500 kg/hr. Plan headroom for collection-drive surges, when months of stored e-waste arrive in a week. Send us your tonnage and we will size it precisely.
How much does an e-waste recycling machine cost?
Every machine is quoted to the job, so we do not publish prices. The e waste recycling machine price for a plastics line depends on which machines you need (a shredder, a grinder or both), the model and its capacity, the motor rating, MS or SS construction, and the feeding and discharge you need. Tell us what you dismantle, your monthly plastic tonnage and what your buyer wants, and we will recommend a setup and send a quotation. Our guide to what drives machine cost explains each factor.
Can we trial the machine on our dismantled housings before buying?
Yes. E-waste housing mixes vary with what you dismantle, and a TV-heavy stream behaves differently from a printer-and-keyboard stream, so we run your actual stripped housings before recommending a configuration. You see feeding, throughput and output size on your own material. Contact us to book a trial slot.
