A plastic pelletizer is a crucial machine in the recycling and manufacturing industries, designed to transform plastic waste into usable plastic pellets. These pellets serve as raw material for producing new plastic products, making the pelletizer a key player in promoting sustainable practices.
In the quest for more efficient recycling methods, the Plastic Film Squeezer emerges as a game-changer, transforming the way we handle and recycle plastic films. This innovative technology is not just an advancement; it’s a necessary evolution in our fight against plastic waste.
Welcome! If you’re in the plastic recycling industry, you know that quality is everything. After plastics like PET bottles or LDPE film go through a rigorous washing and dewatering process, one final, critical step remains: achieving an exceptionally low moisture level.
This is where a Thermal Drying Machine becomes your most valuable player. Let’s dive into how this essential piece of equipment works and why it’s a game-changer for producing high-quality, valuable recycled plastics.
After mechanical dewatering, plastic flakes and film fragments still retain some residual moisture, typically between 5-15%. While this might not sound like much, this level of moisture can cause serious problems during the final pelletizing stage:
A thermal drying machine is the definitive solution, engineered to bring moisture content down to the industry-standard of less than 3%, ensuring your final product is pure, dense, and ready for high-value applications.
Think of it as a highly sophisticated and powerful hairdryer designed specifically for plastics. The process is both simple and incredibly effective:
Consistently hit moisture levels below 3% (and even below 1% with sequential systems) to produce top-grade, high-value recycled pellets.
The integrated cyclone separator actively removes contaminants like dust and fines, enhancing the overall purity of your final product.
Dry, clean material runs smoothly through extruders, significantly reducing processing issues, downtime, and maximizing your throughput.
We understand that every recycling operation has unique needs. Our thermal dryers are available in various sizes and power configurations. Here’s an example of our popular RSJ800 model:
Need more power? For larger operations or materials requiring ultra-low moisture levels, we offer larger models and can design systems with multiple thermal heaters in sequence to meet any throughput requirement.
Dewatering is a mechanical process (like a centrifuge) that removes bulk surface water, typically getting moisture down to 5-15%. Thermal drying is a thermal process that uses hot air to evaporate the remaining, more stubborn moisture to get below 3%. They work together: dewatering first, then thermal drying for a final, high-quality result.
Our standard thermal drying machine is designed to consistently achieve a moisture content of less than 3%. For applications requiring even lower levels (e.g., below 1%), we can configure a system with multiple drying units in series to meet your specific target.
Our thermal dryers are highly versatile and are successfully used for a wide range of washed plastic materials, including:
The cyclone separator is crucial for purification. As the material and air swirl inside, centrifugal force separates particles by weight. The heavier, dry plastic flakes fall to the bottom for collection, while lighter contaminants like dust, labels, and fine particles are carried out by the air stream and collected separately. This results in a much cleaner, purer final product.
Absolutely. We know a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. We can customize the heating power, pipe length and diameter, and overall system size based on your material type, required throughput (kg/hr), and target moisture level. Contact us to discuss your project specifics.
Don’t let residual moisture compromise the value of your hard work. An effective Thermal Drying Machine is the key to unlocking the full potential of your recycled plastics.

PET is a high-value material that plays a crucial role in the plastic industry. It has excellent secondary processing performance. The rapid growth in PET bottle consumption has greatly increased the value of PET through the use of deposit return systems, which enable recycling and reuse. For businesses, PET recycling can bring substantial profits.
In the realm of plastic recycling and manufacturing, the plastic pelletizing machine stands as a cornerstone technology. This machine not only champions environmental sustainability by recycling plastic waste but also plays a pivotal role in the plastic production industry. Let’s delve into the intricacies of this machine, its functions, and its significance in various industries.
Polypropylene (PP) bags, commonly found in various industries, are known for their durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to moisture. These bags, including woven bags and bulk bags, play a significant role in packaging and transportation. However, as the use of PP bags increases, so does the environmental concern related to their disposal. In this article, we’ll dive deep into how to recycle polypropylene bags effectively, from collection to pelletization, and explore ways to minimize their environmental impact.
