Nylon Waste Shredder and Nylon Grinding Machine for PA6 and PA66

Yes. PA6 and PA66 are thermoplastics, shredded, ground and dried, they remelt into usable material, and PA regrind is among the better-paying recycled engineering plastics in India. Compounders buy sorted nylon regrind for filled and unfilled compounds, and many engineering molders blend regrind back into non-critical parts. Value depends on discipline: grade-pure lots (PA6 separate from PA66, filled separate from unfilled), metal-free, and dry. Mixed or damp lots get traded down to near-commodity rates.

Three reasons. First, toughness: nylon absorbs impact and resists cutting instead of cracking like brittle plastics, the cutter has to push through, which demands torque. Second, abrasion: glass-filled PA66 carries hard glass fibre, which works like sandpaper on cutting edges. Third, geometry: nylon waste is often thick, solid sections (gears, purge lumps) with no hollow space to collapse. The answer is a slow, high-torque machine with hardened blades, which is exactly what the S3-600’s 80 rpm rotor and hardened blade set provide.

Faster than unfilled material. That is honest physics, and any supplier who promises otherwise should be questioned. What you can control is the response: the S3-600’s blades and the grinder’s blade sets are removable for periodic sharpening, so the right practice is a planned sharpening cycle based on your running hours and the share of filled material in your stream. We support machines across India with spares, blades and blade sharpening guidance, so a blade change is a maintenance event, not a breakdown.

Soft fibre behaves very differently from solid parts. It can wrap and pad instead of presenting a solid face to the blades. We are straightforward about this: bring your actual fibre offcuts for a trial before you buy, because behaviour varies with denier, baling and moisture. For waste streams that are mostly yarn, fabric or net, our synthetic textile shredding solution is usually the better starting point, for mixed streams the trial decides.

Yes. Polyamides are hygroscopic. They absorb moisture from the air, and moist regrind processed at melt temperature gives degraded, brittle parts and visible defects. Standard practice is to dry regrind before remolding and store it in sealed bags. This is a downstream step (dryers are standard molding-shop equipment), but it affects how you store and sell regrind: dry, sealed lots command better prices from buyers who know the material.

Every machine is quoted to the job. What decides the price is the model and its capacity, your nylon stream (solid parts, sprues, purgings or fibre, filled or unfilled), the motor rating, MS or SS construction, and whether you need the shredder, the grinder or both. Our plastic shredder machine price guide walks through each of those. Send us your grades, part types and daily volume and we will size the machines and quote them.

Work in kilograms per day, then divide by the hours you plan to run. The S3-600 is rated at 300–500 kg/hr depending on material density, which suits plants with a steady flow of solid parts and purgings, while the RE-series grinders start at 35–45 kg/hr on the RE8 for smaller streams. Because nylon density and part geometry swing throughput, size with headroom and verify with a trial on your material. Our machine selection guide walks through the calculation, or send us your numbers for a free recommendation.

Yes, with nylon we insist on it more than with any commodity plastic, because grade, fill and geometry change everything. Bring a representative lot of your gears, bushes, purgings or offcuts and watch the machine run your material. Export orders are supplied with motors matched to your country’s voltage and frequency.
