waste textile mutilator

Mutilating Machine

A textile mutilator is a machine used in the recycling industry to destroy or “mutilate” textiles, making them unsuitable for reuse as clothing. This process is essential for ensuring that discarded textiles are properly recycled and not resold as second-hand goods.

The KME Mutilating machine has been designed with a completely unique cutting/feed system to the conventional machine with high speed cutting action. The cutting blades cut through the material powered by a single hydraulic cylinder on a cycle of approx. 30 seconds. Perfect for recycled clothing.

The method of feeding the material is the key to achieving the high production rate where the material is fed through the blades @ 300mm (12″) thick (Not in single garment form as existing machines.) The slower cutting action lengthens machine and cutter life where on average a set of blades may last up to 3 months prior to sharpening.

Mutilating Machine

Features

  • multiple Cutting blades provide a perfect mutilation of garments

  • Walking floor feed to ensure accuracy of mutilation and constant flow of material

  • Unit is floor mounted but could be mounted directly above a baler

The mutilator integrates with our textile baling machinery and is perfect as part of a waste textile sorting plant.

High-Speed Cutting: The machine uses high-speed cutting blades to shred textiles quickly and efficiently1.
Durability: The cutting blades are designed to have a long life, often lasting several months before needing to be sharpened1.
Continuous Operation: The unique feed system ensures a constant flow of material, reducing the risk of jamming and increasing throughput1.
Integration: These machines can be integrated with other recycling equipment, such as balers, to streamline the recycling process1.
