Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
your paper seems good, please take care of the following:
1-in Abstract, highlights your proposed methodology and concluded result.
2- give some explanation on eq.1, and eq2 as presented explanation is not clear.
3- Figure 7, please revised the velocity practice of this section to be more clear to others.
4- Give the source of figure 8, and what you try to reflected on it, also hide the identified faces.
5- Do you think, rotating speed can be optimized? and how to solve the issue of it.
6- is there certain report for Error! 446 Reference source not found? explain if there

Reviewer 2 Report
The author designed the residual film recycling machine, and carried out DPM simulation for the residual film collection process. At last, the experimental research content was carried out. As a whole, the research content was enriched, and the mulching film was equivalent to spherical treatment. The research method was novel. The specific modification suggestions are as follows:
1. In Fig. 11, both Figure c and Figure b are x1=5km/h?
2. Why do you choose hexahedral mesh instead of tetrahedral mesh, the latter is more accurate for shape fitting. The shape of plastic is changing constantly, so it is reluctant to introduce parameter b to modify the shape. Because after the windward area changes, Re also changes.
3.What does it mean in lines 389\404\414?
4. Factor or factors in the title of Table 1?

Response to comment: In Fig. 11, both Figure c and Figure b are x1=5km/h? Response: Figure b is the recovery rate of residual film, and figure c is the impurity rate of residual film. The influence of forward speed x1 on the impurity rate of residual film is not significant, so the response surface diagram of forward speed x1 on the impurity rate of residual film y2 is not made. The label error has been changed. Locations：Page 16, Line 471, Red marker section. |

Response to comment: Why do you choose hexahedral mesh instead of tetrahedral mesh, the latter is more accurate for shape fitting. The shape of plastic is changing constantly, so it is reluctant to introduce parameter b to modify the shape. Because after the windward area changes, Re also changes. Response 1: The accuracy of fitting tetrahedral mesh for complex shapes is better than that of hexahedral mesh. Tetrahedral mesh is also the most widely used mesh division method in finite element simulation of fluid mechanics. In this paper, the initial choice of hexahedral mesh is to consider the simulation of the fluid domain shape rules, the flow direction and the direction of the grid is consistent, with hexahedral mesh can also ensure accuracy. Additional explanations have been made in the article. Locations 1：Page 9, Line 305-307, Red marker section. Response 2: Here is the wind speed range, only the minimum wind speed is required, only the equivalent sphere when the minimum windward area is considered. Additional explanations have been made in the article. Locations 2：Page 8, Line 267-292, Red marker section, Green marker section. |
