machines that Precious Plastic has created that will enable anyone to recycle plastic. They are made from basic materials, affordable & easy to re-build.

Machine Features:

Modular - The machines are made of different components that can be repaired, replaced or customized.

Feature 2: Open Source - Our machines blueprints and tutorials will always be freely available online for anyone to access and use.

Feature 3: Inclusive - By using basic materials, tools and universal parts the machines can be built all over the world.

Feature 4: Built yourself - We created a series of video tutorials that are easy to follow and help you get started building the machines.

Machine Types:

Extrusion: Extrusion is a continuous process where plastic flakes are inserted in the hopper and extruded into a line of plastic. These lines can be used to make new raw material (3d printing filament), granulate, spinned around a mold or up to you to find new creative ways.

Injection: Plastic flakes are heated and injected into a mold. It’s a relative quick process and well suited to create small objects in production. You can make the molds completely yourself using CNC to mill the lathe or simply welding them.

Compression: Plastic is heated inside the oven and slowly pressed into a mold with a carjack. Well suited to make large and more solid objects, the oven itself is also a great machine for prototyping and making plastic test.

Shredder: Plastic waste is shredded into flakes which will be used in the other machines to create new things. You can select the output size of these flakes by changing the sieve inside the machine to create different patterns and processes.
