Plastic Drum Recycling Systems
Modular, engineered systems for converting used plastic drums and rigid containers into clean, consistent regrind.
Drum-to-regrind systems designed around your process.
The PDR Series is a modular line of engineered plastic drum recycling systems designed and integrated by Blackburn Design Group.
Each system combines proven industrial equipment with application-specific engineering to convert used plastic drums and rigid containers into clean, consistent regrind for reuse, resale, or downstream manufacturing.
From used container to recovered plastic.
The PDR Series integrates industry-proven equipment into a streamlined process that can be configured for your throughput, footprint, contamination level, and recovery goals.
Drum Loading
Manual or automated loading systems based on throughput requirements and facility constraints.
Primary Size Reduction
Heavy-duty shredders reduce full drums into manageable material for downstream processing.
Secondary Grinding
Granulators produce consistent flake size for washing, drying, reuse, or resale.
Washing & Separation
Integrated wash systems remove oils, residues, labels, and contaminants when the application requires it.
Drying & Material Recovery
Dewatering and drying equipment prepares material for cleaner, higher-value output.
Regrind Output
Clean, dry plastic flakes ready for reuse, resale, compounding, or downstream manufacturing.
A complete equipment package, not a loose collection of machines.
BDG supports the full system definition so the equipment fits the real process, floor space, utilities, maintenance access, and production targets.
Line flow, access, guarding, and serviceability.
Shredders, granulators, washers, dryers, conveyors, and auxiliaries.
Skids, structures, transitions, piping, and interfaces.
Integration planning with vendors and control partners as required.
Configured for real processing environments.
- Designed for contaminated and post-use containers
- Compatible with HDPE, PP, and rigid plastics
- Configured for continuous industrial operation
- Engineered for maintenance access and practical service
- Available as standalone equipment or complete turnkey process line
Drum recyclers
Dedicated operations processing used 55-gallon plastic drums and rigid containers.
Chemical and industrial processors
