Plastic Drum Reclamation Systems

Engineered solutions. Real recovery.

Blackburn Design Group helps industrial customers turn used 55-gallon plastic drums and containers into reusable regrind through custom-designed shredding, washing, drying, and material handling systems.

Built Around Industrial Equipment

From drum disposal to engineered material recovery.

Our new focus on plastic drum disposal and reclamation helps businesses turn used 55-gallon plastic drums into reusable material through custom-designed systems for shredding, washing, drying, and regrinding.

Instead of treating drums as waste, we help convert them into valuable plastic regrind that can support downstream manufacturing and injection molding applications.

Process Line

Shred. Wash. Dry. Regrind.

01

Load

Incoming conveyors and guarded feed points move used drums into the first processing stage.

02

Shred

Primary reduction breaks drums into manageable pieces for downstream handling and cleaning.

03

Wash & Dry

Integrated cleaning and drying improves material quality before final processing.

04

Regrind

Recovered plastic is prepared for reuse, compounding, or injection molding applications.
