Dominican Republic BOPP Film Recycling Project | Kitech Plastic Pelletizing Machine & Line Solutions

In the booming plastic recycling industry, BOPP film recycling and granulation has long been a tough nut to crack for enterprises, thanks to its complex material composition and high impurity content. Recently, Kitech Machine, a leading provider of pelletizing machine plastic and plastic pelletizing line solutions, successfully delivered a tailored granulation solution to a plastic recycling enterprise in the Dominican Republic, effectively helping the client break through the production capacity bottleneck caused by outdated plastic pelletizer equipment. The cost-effective and stable performance of Kitech’s plastic pelletizing equipment has won high recognition from the client, laying a solid foundation for in-depth long-term cooperation. This article will detail the whole process of this successful cooperation and the core advantages of Kitech’s solutions.

Client Pain Points: Outdated Plastic Pelletizing Equipment Stalls Production, Insufficient Capacity Needs Urgent Upgrading

This Dominican client is a professional plastic recycling enterprise, focusing on BOPP film recycling business for many years. The recycled materials mainly include BOPP film mixed with 10% metal composite film, which brings great challenges to material processing and granulation quality. Before cooperating with Kitech, the client’s factory was equipped with two old plastic pelletizer units and one two-stage stretch pelletizing machine. These pelletizing machine plastic equipment had been in operation for more than a decade, with serious aging of the machine body, severe wear of core components such as screws and cutters.

The outdated equipment not only failed to realize continuous and stable production, but also suffered from frequent failures such as component jamming and power overload, which directly led to a sharp drop in production efficiency. The actual daily output was less than 60% of the designed capacity, far unable to meet the growing business development needs of the client. In addition, the poor impurity removal effect of the old plastic pelletizing line resulted in a high defect rate of the produced PP particles, which could not meet the quality requirements of downstream injection-molded furniture production, further restricting the client’s market expansion.

To solve these production dilemmas, the client had conducted in-depth negotiations with Polystar, a well-known enterprise in the plastic recycling equipment industry, hoping to purchase a plastic pelletizing line suitable for processing mixed BOPP film materials. However, due to the mismatch between Polystar’s solution configuration and the client’s actual material characteristics, as well as the high quotation exceeding the client’s budget, the two parties failed to reach a cooperation agreement. After learning about Kitech Machine’s rich experience in the field of pelletizing machine plastic and successful cases in the Latin American market, the client took the initiative to contact Kitech to seek a customized solution.

Professional Collaboration: Efficient Communication and Customized Solutions Highlight the Core Advantages of Kitech’s Plastic Pelletizing Equipment

On July 15, 2025, the client’s procurement team officially contacted Mantha, the sales manager of Kitech Machine, and detailed their specific production needs: aiming at the recycling and granulation of BOPP film containing 10% metal composite film, they hoped that Kitech could provide plastic pelletizing line solutions with different output specifications, including single-stage, two-stage configurations, and solutions with or without laser filtration systems, so as to provide options for the company president’s final decision.

Faced with the client’s diversified and personalized needs, Mantha showed excellent professional quality and efficient work efficiency. Instead of blindly recommending Kitech’s plastic pelletizer products,She first engaged in in-depth communication with the client's production team to fully understand the client's material characteristics, current production scale, and future expansion plans. Based on this, she conducted a comprehensive analysis and ultimately tailored 12 different pelletizing plastic equipment configuration solutions for the client, comprehensively meeting the client's multi-dimensional needs.

To help the client more intuitively understand the advantages of Kitech’s plastic pelletizing line in processing materials containing metallic impurities, Mantha specially shared a video of a Chilean client’s actual production scene. In the video, the Kitech laser filtration system was paired with a plastic pelletizer to efficiently process plastic materials mixed with metal impurities, quickly and accurately separating metal particles from the plastic melt, with an impurity removal rate of more than 99%. The video vividly demonstrated the stable performance of Kitech’s equipment, which made the client have a clear and intuitive understanding of the laser filtration technology of the pelletizing machine plastic equipment.

At the same time, combining the client’s budget constraints, Mantha made a detailed cost-performance comparison between Kitech’s standard plastic pelletizing line and Polystar’s similar products. She pointed out that under the premise of the same configuration and production performance, the price of Kitech’s pelletizing machine plastic equipment was about 20% lower than that of Polystar, and the after-sales service cycle was longer and the spare parts supply was more convenient in the Latin American region. This not only helped the client control the equipment upgrade cost, but also solved the client’s worries about subsequent equipment maintenance.

On-site Trial Run: Real-world Demonstration Shows Strength, Plastic Pelletizing Equipment Performance Exceeds Expectations

To further eliminate the client’s concerns about the actual operation effect of the equipment, Kitech proposed a factory trial run plan with the client’s actual production materials. On July 23, 2025, the Kitech technical team prepared BOPP film raw materials containing 10% metal composite film, which were completely consistent with the client’s actual recycled materials, and carried out a simulated production trial run on the KCP160 single-stage plastic pelletizing line at Kitech’s Turkish cooperative production base.

On the day of the trial run, the client’s president and technical director watched the entire operation process of the plastic pelletizing line through a real-time video link. The live footage showed that after the Kitech pelletizing machine plastic production line was started, it only needed 1-2 operators to complete the whole process control. The intelligent PLC control system could realize precise adjustment and real-time monitoring of production parameters such as screw speed, barrel temperature, and filtration pressure, which completely solved the problems of the client’s old plastic pelletizer equipment that required multiple operators and cumbersome operation processes.

In the material processing stage, the Kitech plastic pelletizing line efficiently completed the whole process of BOPP film crushing, high-pressure washing, drying, melting, and granulation in one go. For the metal composite film mixed in the raw materials, the laser filtration system played a huge role, accurately identifying and separating metal impurities with a particle size of more than 0.3mm, ensuring the purity of the plastic melt. The final produced PP particles were intact in shape, smooth in surface, free of bubbles and impurities. After professional testing, the particle density, melt flow rate and other indicators fully met the client’s production requirements for injection-molded furniture.

The excellent performance of thepelletizing machine plastic equipment made the client full of praise. After comprehensively considering factors such as budget cost, actual production capacity demand, and equipment compatibility, the client finally decided to select the KCP160 single-stage laser filtration plastic pelletizing line solution.

Cooperation Achieved: Professional Service Wins Trust, Efficient Contract Signing Opens a Win-Win Situation

After professional demand communication, customized solution design, and real-material trial run verification, the client had no more doubts about purchasing Kitech’s pelletizing machine plastic equipment. The client’s president said that throughout the cooperation negotiation process, Sales Manager Mantha had always maintained efficient and professional communication, and the Kitech team had responded to every question raised by the client in a timely and detailed manner, which fully reflected Kitech’s professional attitude and customer-oriented service concept.

The stable operation and excellent production performance of the plastic pelletizing line during the trial run further enhanced the client’s confidence in Kitech’s product quality. Therefore, the client clearly stated that there was no need to conduct an on-site inspection of Kitech’s factory in China, and directly requested to start the contract signing and payment process. With the joint efforts of the two parties, the cooperation contract for the KCP160 single-stage laser filtration plastic pelletizing line was successfully signed on Oct 5, 2025, and the client completed the advance payment in accordance with the contract agreement.

According to the contract terms, Kitech will provide the client with one-stop full-process services, including the production and manufacturing of plastic pelletizer core components, transportation and delivery, on-site installation and commissioning, operator technical training, and after-sales maintenance. The Kitech technical team will also formulate a targeted equipment operation manual and maintenance plan for the client to ensure that the plastic pelletizing line can be put into production as soon as possible and create economic value for the client.
