Answer Hello AJ.
Thank you for your question. It is a little difficult to understand, as you appear to be translating from some other language into english.
If I understand you correctly, you want to know the names of the equipment that process various recyclable materials. Here is a start:
Pulper - a machine used to turn recycled paper into a slurry of water, chemicals and wood/paper fibers.
Glass Crusher and Cullet Mill - two machines used to turn recyclable glass into a powder substance that can in-turn be used in the production of new glass products
Plastic Granulator - one of several machines used in the process of recycling plastic, the granulator cuts plastic materials into very small pieces.
In a full-process recycling plant for paper, glass, plastic or any other material, there will be dozens of machines used to reprocess, purify and produce a salable product. Even more if you plan to add end-product manufacture to the process (such as a plant that turns recyclable plastic into plastic lumber). Here is a link to a site that gives an example of a glass recycling plant:
I would suggest searching the internet for "glass recycling plant" and similar sites as a start to familiarize yourself with all of the equipment involved.
