Waste Mulch Recycling Machine
The Waste Mulch Recycling Machine is purpose-built to collect and recycle used plastic mulch film from the field, streamlining farming operations while reducing field waste and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable environment. Using a comb tooth drum type picking mechanism and a round roller film collecting and baling device, it lifts spent mulch from the soil and rolls it into compact bales in one continuous pass.
Powered by a support source rated at ≥36.8 kW, the machine offers a selectable working width of 1.0 m to 1.4 m to match different bed and row layouts, and forms film bales sized Φ0.7 × 1 m. With a grille screen conveyor chain to separate soil from film, working dimensions of 3400 x 1700 x 1590 mm, and a gross weight of 1500 kg, it is engineered for efficient, repeatable mulch recovery. Optional rope wrapping and blade mechanisms are available to tailor the machine to your operation.

How It Works
- Picking – The comb tooth drum engages the used mulch film at the soil surface and lifts it as the machine advances along the bed
- Separating – The grille screen conveyor chain carries the film while allowing soil and debris to fall away, reducing contamination in the collected film
- Collecting and baling – The round roller film collecting and baling device winds the recovered film into a compact bale sized Φ0.7 × 1 m
- Optional finishing – Where fitted, the rope wrapping mechanism secures the bale and the blade mechanism assists film cutting and separation
Applications & Use Cases
- Plastic mulch film recovery – Collects spent mulch film after harvest from vegetable, melon, cotton, and other mulched crop fields
- Field cleanup and soil protection – Removes residual plastic to protect soil structure and reduce long-term plastic accumulation in farmland
- Sustainable and regulated farming – Supports growers and contractors who need to meet field-cleanliness and plastic-recovery requirements
- Recycling supply chains – Produces compact film bales that are easier to transport for recycling or proper disposal
- Custom row layouts – The selectable 1.0 m to 1.4 m working width suits a range of bed widths and planting systems
- Agricultural service contractors – A practical tool for operators offering field cleanup and mulch removal across multiple sites
Operation & Setup Notes
- Provide a power source rated at ≥36.8 kW and confirm compatibility with your tractor or driving unit before operation
- Select the working width (1.0 m to 1.4 m) that matches your bed width and row spacing for clean, complete film pickup
- Note the difference between working dimensions (3400 x 1700 x 1590 mm) and packing dimensions (3300 x 1700 x 1200 mm) when planning movement, storage, and yard space
- Account for the 1500 kg gross weight when positioning, towing, and handling the machine
- Operate at a steady ground speed so the comb tooth drum picks film cleanly without tearing, especially on aged or brittle mulch
- Empty the film bale at the recommended interval and confirm the optional rope wrapping or blade mechanism is set correctly if fitted
- Carry out routine inspection of the comb tooth drum, grille screen conveyor chain, and roller baling device to maintain consistent recovery and extend service life
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Waste Mulch Recycling Machine do?
It collects used plastic mulch film from the field and rolls it into compact bales in one continuous pass. A comb tooth drum lifts the film from the soil, a grille screen conveyor chain helps separate soil and debris, and a round roller device winds the film into a bale. This reduces field waste, supports soil health, and produces film bales that are easier to transport for recycling or disposal.
What working widths are available?
The working width is selectable in five options: 1.0 m, 1.1 m, 1.2 m, 1.3 m, and 1.4 m. Choose the width that matches your bed width and row spacing for clean, complete mulch pickup.
What power does it require?
The machine requires a support power source rated at 36.8 kW or more. Confirm that your tractor or driving unit meets this rating before operation.
What optional equipment is available?
Two options are available: a rope wrapping mechanism to secure collected film bales for easier handling and transport, and a blade mechanism to assist film cutting and separation during collection. Contact the Jummos sales team to include these in your configuration.
How does it help with sustainability?
By recovering spent plastic mulch from the field, the machine reduces plastic residue left in the soil, protects soil structure, and supports cleaner, more sustainable farming. The compact film bales it produces are also easier to channel into recycling.
