Omega: scalable shredder-extruder systems for high-volume recycling
The Omega Series represents the heavy-duty tier of Plasmac’s integrated recycling solutions. Engineered for central recycling stations and high-throughput lines, these machines combine a powerful slow-speed shredder with the Short Screw Technology (S.S.T.) extruder. Capable of processing from 150 kg/h up to 250+ kg/h, the Omega range is the robust answer for transforming massive volumes of reels, lumps, and bulk scrap into premium pellets with maximum energy efficiency.
Industrial power, tailored to your volume
- Wide capacity range. Available in S, M, and L configurations to match specific throughput requirements for medium to large-scale industrial recovery.
- Heavy-duty shredding. Features enlarged shredder rotors and drive systems designed to consume larger, tougher scrap loads without stalling.
- Water-free rotor technology. Operates without water cooling on the shredder rotor, eliminating leak risks and significantly reducing maintenance costs compared to competitor systems.
- Lowest energy cost per Kg. The direct-drive efficiency ensures that, as throughput increases, the specific energy consumption (kW/kg) remains the lowest in the market.

Suitable Post-Industrial Materials
Reels
The Omega Series is built to handle off-spec or scrap reels directly. The integrated shredder processes rolls efficiently, eliminating the need for pre-cutting and simplifying waste logistics.
Trims
Continuous edge trims from production lines can be fed simultaneously into the system via the Trim Basket, allowing for flexible management of both inline and offline waste.
Multi-layer Films
Complex multi-material structures are homogenized gently. The process prevents separation issues, making the Omega Series ideal for recovering valuable multi-layer packaging films.
Lumps
The slow-rotating shredder is robust enough to break down start-up lumps and extruder purges, transforming heavy solid waste into reusable raw material.
Want to test your material?
Don’t guess: verify. Bring your reels, lumps, or printed films to our Tech Center. Witness the Omega Series transform them into perfect pellets and de-risk your investment.
Industrial applications for the Omega Series
Blow moulding
A workhorse for film producers, capable of recycling everything from edge trims to heavy start-up lumps and full scrap reels, returning high-quality pellets to the line.
Injection Moulding
A workhorse for film producers, capable of recycling everything from edge trims to heavy start-up lumps and full scrap reels, returning high-quality pellets to the line.
Automotive
Handles the rigorous demands of automotive plastic waste, processing production scraps into consistent regranulate.
Pipe Extrusion
Efficiently recovers offcuts and shavings from pipe manufacturing lines. The system ensures that the recycled material maintains the necessary physical properties for re-extrusion.
Textile
Processes waste from textile and fiber production. The shredder prepares the material for smooth extrusion, preventing feeding issues often associated with fibers.
Cast Extrusion
Ideal for cast film lines generating both trims and rolls. The Omega Series offers a single, compact solution to manage all forms of cast film waste.
Sheet lines
Processes skeletal waste and offcuts from sheet lines. The robust shredder densifies the material immediately for efficient feeding into the S.S.T. extruder.

Elevator & Metal Detector
Used to convey loose pieces, reels, and lumps (in fact, any type of scrap) safely into the shredder. The integrated metal detector protects the machinery from ferrous contaminants.
Roll Feed
Specifically used to feed off-spec or scrap reels into the shredder. It can be used simultaneously with the trim basket for maximum operational flexibility.
Trim Basket
Designed for feeding inline trims directly into the recycling extruder/shredder intake, automating the recovery of edge waste.
Vacuum Degassing Station
Available with single or double venting systems, this station allows you to run printed or hygroscopic materials by effectively removing moisture and volatiles.
Screen Changers
Manual or automatic systems are available to suit your process. They are used when running offline products, such as reels or flakes, to ensure melt purity.
Water Cooled Pelletizer
Water-cooled pelletizer for superior handling of printed films, hygroscopic materials, and complex technical polymers.
Why choose Omega?
Lowest running costs
Minimal power consumption and the highest output per kW of installed power in the market means lower operational expenses and a quicker return on investment.
Highest quality pellets
Low shear and minimal process dwell time ensure minimal material degradation. You can recycle all your scrap into high-quality pellets, reducing raw material costs.
Reduced maintenance
The slow-rotating shredder technology requires no cooling water for the rotor or transfer system. This unique design reduces maintenance needs and costs, improving your overall profitability.
Space-saving design
The Omega Series offers the smallest footprint recycling machine available on the market. Minimal floor space is required, freeing up valuable area for other production applications.
Shredder
The waste material is fed via Elevator, Roll Feed, or Trim Basket into the slow-rotating shredder.
Short Screw Technology (S.S.T.)
The S.S.T. ensures low shear and runs at low melt temperatures. This guarantees an absolute minimum of material degradation, giving you the highest quality recycled pellet comparable to virgin resin.
Integrated Process Control
Material enters the shredder directly, eliminating the need for separate pre-cutting steps. The shredder prepares the material for the S.S.T. extruder in a continuous, dust-minimized process that preserves the integrity of the polymer.
