The first LB-107 flat-blade cutting machine cuts large fabric pieces in two passes, while a second LB-107 cuts smaller pieces in a single pass. This keeps material size even and conveyor input balanced before the fabric reaches the fiber-opening stages, which helps prevent blockages and reduce strain on the machines.Are small cloth pieces separated during the fine combing stage lost as waste?No. The LB-407 fiber combing machine separates small cloth pieces into dedicated recycle bins, and the LB-208 fiber opener machine reprocesses them and returns them to the fiber flow, so the material is not lost.

Non-woven Recycling System

Efficient fiber recovery for post-industrial non-woven waste.Our Non-Woven Recycling System is designed to handle various forms of non-woven waste, including industrial production waste and edge trims. It integrates multiple non-woven fabric recycling machines, each responsible for a specific processing stage within the recycling line.This system combines cutting, feeding, fiber opening, intermediate storage, baling, and dust control into a single recycling line. By maintaining stable material flow and continuous operation, the system helps condition non-woven waste into reusable fiber material with consistent quality, making it well-suited for manufacturers engaged in non-woven production.The Non-Woven Recycling System is designed for non-woven manufacturers, textile mills, and recycling plants. It handles non-woven waste such as industrial production waste, edge trims, offcuts, and rejected sheets, and combines cutting, feeding, fiber opening, intermediate storage, baling, and dust control into one line that conditions this waste back into consistent, reusable bulk fiber.Recycling ProcessThe non-woven recycling system connects automated machines in sequence to process non-woven waste for fiber reuse. Together, these non-woven fabric recycling machines operate as a coordinated line, ensuring stable material handling throughout the recycling process.01Cutting (LB-107)Non-woven waste, such as industrial offcuts, edge trims, or rejected sheets, is first processed through two cutting stages to achieve a consistent material size. This ensures stable handling and prepares the material for controlled fiber opening. After cutting, the material is conveyed by an air blower to the feeding stage, enabling continuous transfer without manual intervention.02Feeding (LB-203)The LB-203 Auto Feeder receives the cut material and functions as a buffering and metering unit. It delivers material at a controlled and consistent rate into the fiber opening process, helping prevent material surges and supporting stable operation during opening.03Fiber Opening (LB-409)The LB-409 Fiber Opening Machine opens compacted non-woven material into loose, bulk fibers. This stage separates bonded or compressed structures and restores material volume, allowing the fibers to move smoothly through subsequent processing stages.04Fine Opening (LB-407)Fibers then pass through the LB-407 Fiber Combing Machine for further opening and refinement. Light impurities are reduced, and remaining fiber clusters are loosened, improving overall fiber uniformity and cleanliness.05Intermediate Storage (SB)The Storage Box (SB) temporarily holds processed fibers to smooth out short-term fluctuations in fiber flow. By balancing uneven output from the opening and combing stages, it allows the baling machine to receive a steady and consistent fiber supply.06Baling (LB-502D)The fibers are compressed into compact, stackable bales using the LB-502D Baling Machine. Baling reduces storage volume and facilitates handling, transport, and downstream use.07Supporting Measure – Dust Collection (LB-701)The LB-701 Central Dust Collection System operates across the recycling line, removing airborne fibers and dust generated during processing and helping maintain a clean working environment.Advanced Process NotesIntegrated Equipment of the Recycling SystemThe non-woven recycling system integrates the following equipment to form a complete and coordinated processing line.FAQsHow does the Non-Woven Recycling System handle different sizes of non-woven production waste?The LB-107 Fabric Cutting Machine processes input material through two cutting stages to reach a consistent size before opening. Once cut, the material is conveyed by an air blower to the feeding stage without manual intervention.How does the system manage material surges and keep the baling process running smoothly?The LB-203 Auto Feeder buffers and meters material, feeding it into the fiber opening stage at a controlled, consistent rate. Processed fibers then pass into the Storage Box (SB), which buffers short-term fluctuations in fiber flow, so the LB-502D Baling Machine receives a steady supply and compresses it into compact, stackable bales.

Cotton Recycling System

Efficiently recovery of high-value cotton fibers from spinning mill waste.Our Cotton Waste Recycling System is a fully integrated processing line designed to recover reusable cotton fibers from spinning mill waste. The system integrates multiple cotton recycling machines—including automatic feeding, material buffering, fiber opening, multi-stage cleaning, and baling—into a coordinated workflow to ensure smooth operation and consistent output quality.By processing short-fiber waste such as blowroom waste and cutting scraps into secondary raw materials rather than discarding them, spinning mills can increase raw cotton utilization and reduce unnecessary waste generated during production.Recycling ProcessThe cotton recycling system sequentially integrates multiple cotton recycling machines to maintain a steady material flow, effectively remove impurities, and deliver consistent quality recycled fibers throughout the process.01Feeding (LB-203)Cotton waste enters the system through the LB-203 Fiber Feeder, which regulates material flow and feeds it evenly to the next stage. In semi-automated setups, operators manually load waste into the feeder; in higher automation configurations, material is continuously supplied by upstream equipment.02Intermediate Buffering (RB)Before fiber opening, material is directed into a reserve box (RB). This intermediate storage temporarily holds cotton waste to absorb feeding surges and stabilize system operation, enabling the opening stage to run under consistent conditions.03Preliminary Opening (LB-208)After buffering, cotton waste enters the LB-208 Fiber Opener, where specialized clothing gently loosens compact fibers while a dust blade removes released loose impurities. This initial opening reduces fiber tufts, preparing the material for more effective cleaning in subsequent stages.04Multi-Stage Cleaning (LB-601)Fibers then pass through the LB-601 Seven-Section Cleaner for progressive separation and cleaning. Spiral beaters further open remaining fiber tufts and dislodge adhering trash. Separated waste is conveyed away by a screw rod to prevent re-mixing, while internal screens filter trash hulls and fine dust to enhance fiber cleanliness and consistency.05Pre-Baling Storage (SB)Cleaned fibers are collected in a storage box (SB). Acting as a buffer prior to baling, this storage stage smooths out short-term production fluctuations, helping the system maintain continuous and steady operation.06Baling (LB-502C / LB-502D)Finally, processed fibers are compressed into dense, stackable bales by the LB-502C Trash Baler or the LB-502D Baling Press (for higher production requirements). The resulting recycled cotton bales feature neat shapes and easy handling for storage, transport, or downstream processing.07Central Dust Collection (LB-701)The LB-701 Central Dust Collection System continuously extracts airborne fibers and dust, maintaining a clean operating environment.Advanced Process DescriptionIntegrated Recycling EquipmentThe cotton waste recycling system integrates the following equipment to support steady and efficient fiber recovery.FAQsHow does the system manage dust when processing waste cotton?Dust control runs through the line in stages. The LB-208 preliminary opener includes an integrated dust-removal blade that clears loose dust as it opens the fibers. The LB-601 seven-section cleaner then filters cotton husk dust and trash through its internal screens. Finally, the LB-701 central dust collection system continuously extracts airborne fibers and dust to keep the work area clean.Does processing tightly compacted blowroom waste and spinning mill scraps damage the fibers or the equipment?The system opens material gradually to avoid this. Compacted cotton waste first passes through the LB-208 fiber opener, where specialized card clothing loosens tangled fibers gently, preserving fiber length before the material moves into the LB-601 multi-stage cleaning section.

Sock Recycling System

We provide a specialized sock fiber recycling solution designed to recover and reuse various types of socks and sock manufacturing scraps, transforming waste materials into high-quality recycled fibers.The system integrates dedicated sock fiber processing equipment and utilizes an automated process to open and recover fibers from sock materials, ensuring consistent fiber quality while maximizing recycling efficiency. The recovered fibers can be used as filling materials or as raw materials for further textile applications, creating added value and supporting a sustainable circular economy.01Cutting (LB-107)Waste garments or fabrics are fed into the LB-107 cutting machine and chopped into small pieces, preparing them for the subsequent fiber opening process.02Feeding (LB-203)The LB-203 auto feeder conveys and uniformly mixes the cut fabrics into the system through its conveyor, ensuring smooth and balanced input.03Fiber Opening (LB-208)The LB-208 fiber opener loosens and separates the fibers, creating a uniform and fluffy fiber structure.04Fine Combing (LB-407)Fibers pass through the LB-407 fiber combing machine for further refinement, making them softer, aligned, and free of impurities.05Intermediate Storage (SB)The processed fibers are temporarily stored in the storage box (SB), acting as a buffer before final processing.06Baling (LB-502D)The finished fibers are compressed into compact, stackable bales by the LB-502D baling machine, making them easy to transport and store.07Dust Collection (LB-701)The LB-701 central dust collection system continuously removes airborne fibers and dust, keeping the workspace clean.
