As the world tackles the growing crisis of plastic waste, innovative recycling technologies are crucial for achieving both environmental goals and business success. The Plastic Film Squeezer represents a major step forward—enabling more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable recycling of plastic films, and playing a vital role in the circular economy.
Why Are Plastic Films So Challenging to Recycle?
Plastic films, widely used in packaging, are lightweight and highly moisture-retentive. These properties make them difficult to process using traditional recycling methods, often resulting in low throughput and high energy costs for drying.
What Makes the Plastic Film Squeezer Unique?
The Plastic Film Squeezer leverages a robust screw press design to efficiently squeeze out moisture from washed plastic films such as LDPE, LLDPE, and PP woven bags. After dewatering, films are further densified and partially heated, preparing them for direct pelletizing or compounding.
Key Features & Advantages:
- High Moisture Reduction: Reduces water content to below 5%, far outperforming air or sun drying.
- Energy Efficient: Uses significantly less energy than traditional thermal dryers, lowering your operating costs and carbon footprint.
- Improved Pellet Quality: Produces clean, drier film flakes that result in higher-quality pellets and more stable extrusion.
- Increased Throughput: Speeds up recycling plant operations, enabling you to process larger volumes with the same resources.
- Easy Integration: Compact design fits seamlessly into new or existing washing and pelletizing lines.
Environmental & Economic Benefits
Adopting a Plastic Film Squeezer delivers immediate and long-term benefits for recyclers and the planet:
- Reduced Landfill Waste: Enables higher recycling rates for plastic film, diverting large volumes from landfill and the environment.
- Lower Energy Bills: Less energy required for drying means reduced operational costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- Boosted Profitability: With higher capacity and better product quality, recycling businesses can grow faster and maximize ROI.
