Omega Compact: the integrated shredder-extruder for inline
industrial waste
Omega Compact is engineered to reclaim the most challenging forms of inline post-industrial scrap without compromise. By uniting a high-torque, slow-speed shredder with Plasmac’s Short Screw Technology (S.S.T.), this monolithic system transforms high-speed, wide trims and defective reels into high-grade pellets in a single continuous step. Designed for Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and technical polymers, it delivers virgin-like quality with the smallest industrial footprint available.
One system, zero compromises
- Dust-free size reduction: The integrated slow-rotating shredder processes bulky waste with high torque, eliminating the dust and fines associated with conventional grinding.
- Preserved polymer integrity: Plasmac’s S.S.T. ensures minimal residence time and low shear, preventing material degradation even when reprocessing heavy gauge scraps.
- Maximum energy efficiency: The direct coupling of shredding and extrusion achieves the highest output-per-kW ratio in the sector, optimising operational costs.
- Maintenance-free rotor: Engineered to operate without water cooling on the rotor or transfer system, drastically reducing maintenance overhead and failure points

Suitable Post-Industrial Materials
Reels
Stop cutting reels off the core. The system accepts full off-spec reels via the Roll Feed, shredding and plasticizing them continuously to recover value from storage-consuming waste.
Trims
Omega Compact handles continuous edge trims effortlessly. It can process them simultaneously alongside defective reels, giving you the flexibility to manage inline production scrap and offline waste streams in a single machine.

Industrial applications for Omega Compact
Cast and Blown Film Extrusion
The central recycling hub for film plants. It manages everything from standard to fast and complex edge trims, such as those from MDO, agricultural, or mulch film lines, that usually require expensive and ineffective third-party disposal.
Unlock the full power of Omega Compact: add-ons and accessories
Trim Basket
Enhances versatility by allowing the simultaneous feeding of inline edge trims coming from multiple lines or pick-up points.
Roll Feed
A dedicated nip-roll system that unwinds and feeds off-spec reels into the shredder chamber with controlled tension, ensuring optimum throughput for film converters.
Screen Changers
Available with robust manual configurations. Essential for post-industrial recovery to filter out paper labels, dust, or minor contaminants often found on stored scrap.
Why choose Omega Compact?
Optimised for fast and multiple technical hard-to-process trims
Where other standard solutions fail, Omega Compact excels. It is specifically built recycle inline fast and difficult trims that are impossible to be processed with a conventional direct feed recycling extruder.
Less production costs, more profits
By removing the need for rotor water cooling and utilizing a high-efficiency drive, the machine minimizes utility consumption and maintenance downtime, driving long-term profitability.
Superior melt quality
The unique combination of slow shredding (zero dust) and Short Screw Technology (low thermal stress) produces a pellet with exceptional optical and mechanical properties, virtually identical to virgin resin.
Space-efficient design
Industrial floor space is a premium asset. Omega Compact delivers the capabilities of a complete recycling plant (shredder, extruder, pelletizer) in a single, ultra-compact frame, designed to fit any space next to production film lines.
Slow-Speed Shredder Technology
The integrated shredder operates at low RPM with high torque. This design minimizes noise and dust generation while effectively fracturing tough materials, preparing an ideal, uniform feedstock for the screw.
Short Screw Technology (S.S.T.)
Plasmac’s proprietary 10:1 L/D dual-diameter screw is the core of our quality promise. It melts the polymer rapidly and gently, minimizing residence time to prevent oxidative stress and gel formation.
Integrated Process Control
The shredder and extruder communicate in real-time. The control logic automatically adjusts shredding speed based on extruder load, ensuring a perfectly stable process without operator intervention.
