Textile Waste Recycling

In the economically dynamic Yangtze River Delta region of China, a waste textile alternative fuel production line with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons is set to be commissioned. This innovative production line will provide efficient and environmentally friendly RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) to a cement kiln operated by a state-owned enterprise, replacing traditional coal and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The project not only accelerates the green transformation of the cement industry but also stands as a key development in the circular economy sector.The Yangtze River Delta is a global hub for textile and garment production, generating vast quantities of clothing each year, which inevitably results in substantial textile waste. Effectively managing this waste has long been a challenge. This 100,000-ton per year alternative fuel production line converts waste textiles into high-energy RDF fuel, addressing the local processing capacity shortage while reducing fossil fuel usage.

GEP's single-shaft textile shredder is an ideal solution for textile recycling in the USA, providing high-quality shredding with adjustable discharge size, robust construction, and a long service life. Designed for various textile waste materials, this shredder is suitable for industries and facilities focused on efficient and sustainable waste processing.Features of the GEP's Single-Shaft Textile Shredder The single-shaft textile shredder is an upgraded model that employs a "double motor + double reducer" drive system, offering a powerful shearing force and high shredding output. This design is especially useful for efficiently processing dense and resilient textile materials, making it a versatile choice for diverse applications in the textile recycling industry.Complete Textile Recycling Solution The textile shredding system is equipped with:Single-Shaft Shredder: Provides efficient shredding with customizable output sizes, typically reducing textile waste to around 3 cm.Belt Conveyor: Automates the

Waste fabrics, textiles, clothing, leather trimmings and shoe offcuts contain certain organic and fiber-based substances with high calorific value. Therefore, these wastes can be reused as fuel raw materials by means of centralized treatment after shredding of waste cloth. Usually, the process of handling these waste textiles includes sorting, loading, shredding, secondary shredding, uniform fabric in silo, compression molding and preparation of discharges. Among them, the classification is to separate different types of waste textiles for subsequent processing; the loading is to feed the classified waste textiles into the production line; the shredding is to cut the waste textiles into smaller fragments so as to better carry out subsequent processing; the secondary shredding is to further reduce the size of the fragments so as to make them easier to be compressed and molded; the bin uniform cloth is to ensure that the fragments are uniformly distributed in the compression molding process so as to ensure the

Waste, trimmings and discarded textiles, clothing and leather from the textile and garment industry are solid wastes that are as difficult to degrade as plastics. Simple piles or landfills not only take up space but also pollute the environment and cause waste. Using proven systems for shredding these materials, these wastes can be recycled for fibre or processed into boiler fuel for power/heat generation.GEP ECOTECH has a proven solution for shredding waste textiles, using industrial grade twin shaft shredders that efficiently shred objects into small pieces for easy subsequent processing, even heavy carpets are easily handled with shredders using GEP ECOTECH technology.For most small applications, the use of one GEP ECOTECH shredder + loading belt is sufficient, simple and reliable.GEP ECOTECH offers a range of scrap textile shredding machines from small to very large sizes, with capacities ranging from a few tens of kilograms per hour to over ten tons per hour.
