MT Makina Textile Waste Recycling Systems: Comprehensive Machinery and Plant Guide
Today, sustainability and "Zero Waste" goals are more important than ever in the textile industry. Fabric scraps, denim waste, carpet edges, and old clothes generated in production processes can be transformed into valuable raw materials when processed with the right technology. In this guide, we detail the machinery, equipment, and turnkey system solutions produced by MT Makina that you can use to reintegrate your textile waste into the economy and increase the efficiency of your facility.

1. Size Reduction and Shredding Machines
The most challenging and critical step in the textile recycling process is preparing whole or large-volume fabric waste for the next processing stage. MT Makina's superiorly engineered shredders offer high performance at this stage.

  • Industrial Shredders (Shredder Systems): Specifically designed for shredding thick fabric waste, denim scraps, industrial carpets, and challenging textile materials to desired sizes. Thanks to high-torque, double or quadruple shaft shredding systems (e.g., powerful rotor structures like the Falcon series), they perform a continuous and powerful shredding process without entanglement or jamming of the blades.

  • Mobile Shredding Solutions: High-capacity (hourly tonnage customizable to the project) mobile shredding systems, capable of operating in various facility areas or open sites as needed, enable on-site disposal and size reduction of textile waste.


2. Conveying and Feeding Equipment
An efficient recycling facility should have automation systems that require minimal human labor and operate continuously.

  • Feeding and Transfer Conveyor Belts: Ensure the safe, homogeneous, and continuous feeding of textile waste to the shredder unit. MT Makina's heavy-duty conveyors are resistant to breakage and wear. At the system outlet, the shredded clippings are transported to the storage or baling area using these durable belt systems.


3. Packaging and Storage Solutions
These are final stage equipment critical for the transportation, storage, and space optimization of recycled scraps at the facility.

  • Baler Press Machines: These machines compress bulky textile waste or textile scraps from crushers into bales using high-pressure hydraulic systems. Manufactured with the assurance of MT Makina, these presses minimize waste transportation and storage costs while ensuring organized waste management within the facility.

  • Waste Storage Units: Project-specific industrial storage solutions for the safe and organized storage of textile waste that is separated or awaiting processing within the facility.


MT Makina Turnkey Plant Solutions
MT Makina not only sells individual machines but also installs turnkey textile crushing and baling lines perfectly suited to your plant's capacity and waste type.
Outstanding Waste Management Practices:

  • Denim and Thick Fabric Shredding Line: Shredding and baling of denim waste and large fabric rolls, known for their durable structure, using heavy-duty shredders.

  • Carpet and Technical Textile Recycling: Carpet scraps, automotive felts, and technical textiles that are difficult to cut and shred are processed in high-torque machines to reduce their size.

  • Waste Fabric Baling and Transfer Center: Mixed fabric waste from production lines is collected via conveyors and directly baled in high-capacity hydraulic presses, making it ready for shipment to recycling facilities.


Thanks to MT Makina's innovative shredding, conveying, and baling technologies, maximum efficiency and minimum energy consumption are achieved in textile waste management. With MT Makina equipment designed specifically for your facility, you can safely process your textile waste, reduce your plant's carbon footprint, and contribute to sustainable production.
