Kitech KCP160+180 Double Stage Pelletizer for PE Film Operates in Poland's Factory

In the plastic recycling industry, the long-term stability and raw material adaptability of equipment are key to production efficiency and economic benefits. Kitech Machinery has earned the long-term trust of numerous customers worldwide with its leading KCP series two-stage pelletizing machine. Recently, our team revisited a customer's factory in Poland. Since introducing the KCP production line in 2021, the equipment has been running stably for four consecutive years and continues to maintain excellent performance. During this visit, we not only assisted the customer with routine maintenance and parts replacement but also helped them further optimize their production processes through technical exchanges.

The KCP series pelletizing lines are renowned for their superior multi-material adaptability and process stability. The KCP160+180 model is specifically designed for processing various soft plastic films, with particularly outstanding performance in recycling LDPE film. It can also efficiently handle various membrane materials such as HDPE and LLDPE, and even demonstrates strong plasticizing ability and stable processing performance for difficult-to-process materials with high ink content, high moisture content, poor flowability, high heat sensitivity, and impurities.

Core Technology: Revolutionary Filtration, Doubled Efficiency
The superior performance of the KCP system stems from its core component—the Kitech self-cleaning laser filter. This patented technology completely eliminates the pain points of frequent filter replacements and long downtime associated with traditional methods.

01 Fully Automatic Cleaning, Saving Time and Labor: Built-in six sets of high-efficiency scrapers automatically clean the filter surface, eliminating the need for manual replacement and significantly reducing labor intensity and costs, ensuring continuous production.

02 Precision Filtration, Guaranteed Quality: The filter, made using laser technology, has thousands of evenly distributed micropores, with filtration precision flexibly selectable within the range of 80-800 microns, effectively removing various impurities from the melt.

03 Robust and durable, a long-term investment: The filter screen is made of thickened (1.5mm) high-strength chromium-molybdenum steel, possessing exceptional wear resistance and toughness, significantly extending its service life and reducing long-term operating costs for customers.

Completely coordinated for a high-performance pelletizing system:

The KCP160+180 is not a standalone machine, but a complete, collaborative system. Each component is designed for efficient, high-quality production.

01 Automatic feeding system: Equipped with a frequency converter-driven belt conveyor and metal detector, ensuring uniform and stable feeding and effectively removing metal foreign objects, providing robust protection for subsequent equipment.

02 Cutting and compacting system: Integrating preheating, mixing, semi-plasticizing, and pre-drying functions, it pre-treats the material. A precise temperature control system (water cooling, air cooling, and spraying) effectively prevents material overheating and degradation, creating optimal conditions for extrusion.

03 Two-stage single-screw extruder: Employing a two-stage tandem design. The first stage is primarily responsible for feeding, compaction, and preliminary plasticizing; the second stage completes final plasticizing and homogenization. This structure is particularly suitable for processing materials with high moisture content, high impurity content, and sensitivity to shear and temperature, achieving stable extrusion with high quality and high output.

04 High-efficiency filtration system: A powerful combination of a laser self-cleaning filter and a piston type filter. The laser filter enables unattended continuous operation of the main filtration channel; the piston filter provides large-area backup filtration and ensures uninterrupted melt flow during screen changes, together forming a double impurity barrier.

05 Intelligent PLC control system: Core electrical components use international brands such as Siemens, Schneider Electric, and ABB. The system features one-button start/stop, process formula storage, and safety interlocks, making operation intuitive and simple, significantly reducing reliance on operator experience.

06 Water ring pelletizer: Equipped with wear-resistant blades made of high-quality D2 steel. Utilizing a European-designed cutting head, the speed is automatically adjusted according to melt pressure, ensuring uniform particle size, regular shape, and low moisture content.

07 High-efficiency vibration drying system: Combining vibration dewatering and horizontal centrifugal drying in a two-stage process, it effectively reduces the surface moisture of the particles to below 3%. The system integrates a heat exchanger to achieve internal circulation cooling and reuse of process water, resulting in environmental protection and energy conservation.

08 Silo system: Used for temporary storage and cooling of granules, preventing hot granules from absorbing moisture. A weighing module is optional for real-time production monitoring, facilitating production management.
