Supatrim: the ultimate infeed for high-speed and tacky trims
Handling stretch film or tacky edge waste demands control. Supatrim is the specialized infeed device designed for the reliable feeding of medium to high-speed edge trim directly from the winder to the recycling extruder. Uniquely suited to stretchy and tacky materials that clog standard systems, Supatrim is fully automatic in operation. It synchronizes perfectly with your OEM winder to maintain constant tension, ensuring that even the most difficult scrap reaches the Alpha series extruder without breakage or interruption.
Conquer difficult trims
- Direct haul-off. The trim is directly hauled off from the winder and fed into the recycling extruder, eliminating the reliance on air alone for transport
- Handles tacky material. Specifically engineered for films with PIB or high tack that would otherwise adhere to ducting or baskets
- Master stretch films. Maintains the necessary tension on extensible stretch films to prevent snapping or elasticity-related feed issues
- Fully automatic. Operates without manual intervention, adjusting speed to match the production line
Synchronized Precision
Supatrim isn’t just a feeder; it’s an intelligent link between your winder and your recycler.
Winder synchronization
The facility to synchronise with the OEM winder is provided as standard. This ensures that Supatrim maintains a reliable and constant tension on the trim at all speeds, preventing slack or breakage.
Active nip system
Uses a driven nip roller system to physically pull the trim. This positive drive is essential for overcoming the drag and elasticity inherent in high-speed or tacky polyethylene film recycling applications.
Built for speed
Designed to keep pace with medium to high-speed lines where standard venturi systems might struggle to maintain consistent conveyance.
Exclusively for Alpha Series
Supatrim is a dedicated performance upgrade for specific Plasmac machines
Alpha’s best ally
Supatrim is available for Alpha Series recycling extruders. It mounts directly to the Alpha, creating a compact, high-performance inline recycling station for difficult films.
The solution for critical films
The go-to device for sectors where trim handling is notoriously difficult.
Stretch film production
Stretch film production.
Silage wrap
Managing tacky, UV-stabilized agricultural films.
High-speed
Keeping up with fast lines without trim breakage.
Cling film
Processing thin, sticky PE cling films for food or industrial packaging without blocking.
Enhance your inline system
Supatrim handles the difficult feeding, but your Alpha line can do even more. Combine it with:
Rollfeed
While Supatrim handles your tacky edge trims inline, add a Rollfeed to simultaneously process your off-spec stretch film reels on the same Alpha machine.
Screen Changers
Essential for filtering out any paper cores or contaminants that might come from recycling start-up reels alongside your trims.

Global expertise
Leverage our technicians’ experience in handling tacky and stretch films to optimize your setup.
Proven performance, trusted worldwide
Supatrim allows stretch film producers worldwide to recycle in-line what was once considered “un-feedable” waste.
Test your material at our Tech Center
Don’t guess: verify. Bring your stickiest, stretchiest trim to our Tech Center. Run a full production trial on Supatrim to measure quality throughput and de-risk your investment.
Circular economy
Supatrim closes the loop for the most challenging materials. Enabling the inline recovery of tacky and stretch trims, it prevents these difficult wastes from being baled and sold for low value, keeping the high-quality polymer within your production cycle.
