Gloves Shredding Line for Surgical & Industrial Gloves
Looking for a high-capacity gloves shredding machine to process surgical and industrial gloves made of rubber, rubber with fabric, or fully fabric materials? PROSINO can offer a customized gloves shredding line designed around your material types and target processing capacity.
The proposed system integrates a feeding conveyor belt, a double shaft shredder, a discharging conveyor belt, and a pulse dust collector. Take a 300 Kg/hr gloves shredding project for example, we recommend the PROSINO Double Shaft Shredder Model PS-D-2160, with a customized feed hopper and an enclosed discharge conveyor to support dust collection.
Contact PROSINO for a customized gloves shredding solution and technical proposal.
1. Gloves Shredding Requirements
Surgical and industrial gloves can vary significantly in material composition, thickness, elasticity, and reinforcement. A suitable shredding system must therefore be selected according to the actual gloves to be processed.
Based on below real inquiry, the proposed solution is designed around the following requirements:
- Target capacity: 300 kg/h
- Materials: Surgical gloves and industrial gloves
- Material compositions: Fully rubber, rubber with fabric reinforcement, and fully fabric
- System configuration: Conveyor-fed shredding line with dust collection
- Shredder type: Double shaft shredder
The final configuration and achievable throughput should be confirmed through material evaluation and shredding tests, particularly if the line will process different glove materials in the same production run.
2. Recommended Solution: PROSINO PS-D-2160 Double Shaft Shredder
For the target processing capacity of 300 kg/h, PROSINO recommends the PS-D-2160 Double Shaft Shredder as the core machine of the proposed gloves recycling line.
The system will be customized with an upgraded hopper design and dust-collection provisions to suit the application.
Proposed Gloves Shredding Line Configuration
The complete line consists of four main components:
1. Feeding Conveyor Belt
The feeding conveyor transfers discarded gloves into the shredder hopper, helping establish a continuous material-feeding process and reducing the need for manual feeding.
2. Double Shaft Shredder — PS-D-2160
The double shaft shredder uses two rotating shafts equipped with cutting blades to tear and shear the gloves into smaller pieces. It is the core size-reduction equipment for the proposed line.
The final particle size depends on the glove materials, blade configuration, and operating conditions. If a specific output size is required, please inform us during the equipment selection stage.
3. Discharging Conveyor Belt
After shredding, the processed glove pieces are discharged onto a conveyor for transfer to the next handling or recycling process.
For this project, a dust cover will be added to the discharging conveyor to create an enclosed collection point and help control dust released during material transfer.
4. Pulse Dust Collector
A pulse dust collector will be integrated into the system to collect airborne dust generated during shredding and discharge. The customized hopper and covered discharge conveyor will provide additional dust-control provisions.
Actual dust-collection performance depends on the material characteristics, dust generation rate, airflow requirements, and system sealing.
3. Customized Hopper and Dust Collection Design
Because this project involves multiple glove materials, PROSINO proposes a customized hopper design rather than relying solely on the standard hopper configuration.
The updated hopper will be designed to work with the dust-collection arrangement. In addition, the discharge conveyor will be fitted with a dust cover, and a pulse dust collector will be installed as part of the complete line.
The main objectives of these customizations are to:
- Improve dust capture around the feeding and discharge areas.
- Reduce the release of airborne dust during material handling.
- Provide a more integrated arrangement for shredding and dust collection.
- Support a cleaner working environment around the equipment.
Important: A dust collector does not automatically guarantee complete dust containment. The final hood design, airflow, filtration, and sealing should be determined according to the actual material and site conditions. If the gloves are contaminated with biological or chemical substances, additional handling, containment, and disposal requirements must also be assessed.
4. How the Gloves Shredding Line Works
The proposed production process follows these steps:
Step 1 — Material feeding: Surgical or industrial gloves are loaded onto the feeding conveyor.
Step 2 — Size reduction: The conveyor transfers the gloves into the customized hopper, where the PS-D-2160 double shaft shredder processes them into smaller pieces.
Step 3 — Material discharge: The shredded glove pieces leave the shredder and are transferred by the covered discharge conveyor.
Step 4 — Dust collection: The pulse dust collector captures airborne dust from the designated collection points.
Step 5 — Downstream handling: The shredded material is collected for subsequent recycling, separation, or disposal according to the material composition and project requirements.
If different glove materials will be processed, the downstream process should be evaluated to determine whether they can be handled together or require separate collection.
5. Technical Information Required Before Finalizing the Solution
Although the PS-D-2160 is our preliminary recommendation for the requested 300 kg/h capacity, we need a few additional details as below to confirm the final machine configuration:
- Glove material: Are the gloves made of nitrile, latex, natural rubber, PVC, fabric, or a mixture of these materials?
- Material condition: Are the gloves clean and dry, or are they contaminated with liquids, powders, oils, or other substances?
- Feeding condition: Will the gloves be fed loose, in bags, or in bundles?
- Required output size: What approximate shredded piece size do you need?
- Processing arrangement: Will the machine process one glove type at a time, or will rubber, rubber-fabric, and fully fabric gloves be mixed?
- Capacity requirement: Is 300 kg/h the required continuous output for each material type, or the combined capacity across all glove types?
Photos or short videos of the gloves would be particularly helpful. If possible, representative samples for testing will be the best.
With this information, PROSINO can review the proposed PS-D-2160 configuration, confirm the suitability of the cutting system, and determine the appropriate dust-collection arrangement.
