Efficient Plastic Film Recycling: Kitech Machinery Semi-Melting Type Squeezer
In modern industrial production, plastic recycling and reuse have become vital for resource sustainability. As a key pre-processing equipment in plastic recycling lines, the squeezer machine plays an essential role in handling film-based materials. Kitech semi-melting type squeezer is expertly designed to dehydrate and dry plastic films after crushing and washing, delivering dry material ready for pelletizing, extrusion, or molding processes. It can operate as a standalone unit or be seamlessly integrated into a complete plastic film recycling washing line.
I. Why Choose Our Semi-Melting Type Squeezer?
1. High Efficiency in Dewatering
Utilizing advanced screw extrusion technology, our machine achieves a remarkable dewatering rate of over 95%. It performs exceptionally well on challenging materials such as thin films and fibrous plastics, which are often difficult to dry with conventional methods.
2. Boosted Production Capacity
The JGM series semi-melting extruder dryer combines screw squeeze with electric heating, enabling a processing capacity ranging from 200 to 1000 kg/h. This supports continuous, automated operation, reduces labor costs, and increases overall productivity.
3. Energy Savings & Cost Reduction
Compared to traditional methods that combine centrifugal dewatering with hot-air drying, our mechanical squeeze pressure system significantly lowers power consumption and energy costs, making plastic recycling more economical.
4. Environmentally Friendly & Safe Operation
The process is clean, pollution-free, and improves the working environment. Equipped with overload protection and intelligent control, the machine ensures safe and stable operation.
5. Versatile & Modular Design
One compact unit integrates three key functions: dewatering, hot-air drying, and pelletizing. This modular approach saves space, reduces equipment investment, and streamlines the recycling process.
II. How It Works
Our semi-melting type machine is widely used in plastic film recycling, suitable for various soft films including LDPE film, agricultural film, and PP woven bag. After being crushed and washed, the material enters the barrel and screw system. The rotating screw applies intense squeeze pressure, forcing out moisture. The compacted material is then pushed through a die-surface cutter, producing semi-plasticized pellets ready for the next processing stage.
III. Robust Construction for Demanding Applications
1. Barrel & Screw: The barrel and screw are precision-engineered. The barrel is typically made of stainless steel for corrosion and wear resistance. The screw shaft is accurately machined to ensure smooth rotation and efficient squeeze.
2. Drive System: A powerful motor coupled with a gear reducer delivers steady torque and reliable operation.
3. Screen System: A replaceable screen with various mesh sizes allows flexibility in handling different plastic types and moisture requirements.
4. Heavy-Duty Transmission: A specially designed high-torque gearbox and proprietary thrust bearing assembly provide strong axial thrust, enhancing drying performance.

IV. Easy Operation & Low Maintenance
To ensure long-term, stable performance, regular maintenance is straightforward:
- Clean residual material inside the barrel regularly.
- Inspect the screw for wear and lubricate drive components as recommended.
- Replace the screen when necessary to maintain optimal dewatering.
- Operator training is advised to prevent overloading and ensure correct material handling.
These simple steps help extend equipment life, minimize downtime, and keep your plastic recycling line running smoothly and efficiently.
