I. Project Background and Client Needs
The cooperating client is a local professional plastic recycling and processing enterprise in Tehran, Iran, with rich practical experience in waste soft plastic recycling and processing. In recent years, the local government has continuously tightened environmental protection policies, and the market price of virgin plastic raw materials has kept rising, making efficient waste plastic recycling and reprocessing an urgent demand for local recycling factories. Faced with a large amount of daily accumulated waste LLDPE film, waste plastic packaging bags and mixed PP/PE waste plastics, the client was eager to introduce a set of high-efficiency, stable and energy-saving recycling equipment.
The client put forward clear and targeted core equipment requirements to solve the long-term pain points of local plastic recycling production. First, the equipment must be highly adaptable to thin and soft plastic materials, solving common problems of traditional recycling equipment such as feeding blockage, insufficient plasticization and high impurity content in finished particles, which is exactly the core advantage of our customized plastic film recycling machine. Second, the production line needs to support fully automated continuous production, reduce manual dependence, and adapt to large-scale factory batch processing, realizing efficient operation of pp pe recycling machine for mixed plastic materials. Third, the equipment must be durable with a low failure rate, support long-term stable mass production, and reduce later maintenance and replacement costs, meeting the long-term operation needs of industrial-grade pp waste recycling machine. Fourth, the equipment needs to support customized pellet coloring to meet the differentiated quality standards of downstream sales scenarios. Combining the client’s actual production conditions and core demands, Kitech Machinery tailored a fully automatic compaction water ring granulation system, perfectly matching the local soft plastic and PP/PE waste recycling processing needs.
II. Core Configuration of the Complete Production Line
The LLDPE film and plastic bag pelletizing production line deployed in Iran adopts Kitech’s classic mature industrial configuration, with scientific overall process design and compact equipment connection, perfectly balancing production efficiency and finished pellet quality. the core equipment combination is as follows:
- Belt Conveyor with Metal Detector: The front-end high-precision metal detection device can accurately identify ferrous metal impurities mixed in waste plastic raw materials, intercept foreign objects in advance, and completely prevent hard metal sundries from entering the main unit to cause screw wear and equipment jamming. It provides full protection for the core host of the plastic film recycling machine, effectively extending equipment service life and reducing downtime maintenance frequency.
- KCP Series Pelletizing Bucket: This component is specially optimized for thin and soft plastic materials, targeting the common problems of LLDPE film, plastic packaging bags and PP/PE waste films such as easy fluffing, difficult feeding and material tangling. Through high-speed centrifugal compaction and pre-crushing granulation technology, it compacts loose and thin waste plastics into uniform materials, solves the problems of uneven feeding and unstable output of traditional pp pe waste recycling machine, and greatly improves the efficiency of subsequent extrusion granulation.
- KSE Dedicated Extruder: Equipped with Kitech’s customized optimized screw structure, it is highly adapted to the plasticizing characteristics of soft plastic and PP/PE mixed materials. It realizes uniform heating and thorough plasticization of waste plastics, ensures stable material plasticizing effect, and fundamentally improves the quality of recycled pellets processed by the plastic film recycling machine.
- Plate Filter: Adopting multi-stage precision filtration design, it can effectively intercept dust, impurities and scorched materials in plastic raw materials. With high filtration accuracy and convenient screen replacement, it thoroughly purifies molten materials, ensuring that the pellets produced by the pp pe recycling machine are pure, impurity-free and uniform in shape.
- Complete Water Ring Pelletizing System: Adopting industry-leading water ring hot-cutting technology and matching with a circulating water cooling system, it ensures smooth pelletizing and rapid cooling molding. The finished recycled pellets are round, full, dust-free and non-sticky, with better appearance and quality than traditional air-cooled pellets. The circulating water system supports cyclic reuse, which is energy-saving and water-saving, meeting the green production standards of large-scale pp pe waste recycling machine production lines.
- Optional Masterbatch Feeder: The masterbatch addition ratio can be flexibly adjusted according to client’s market demand and downstream product standards, realizing precise color customization of plastic pellets. It enriches the product categories of the plastic film recycling machine production line, helps clients expand sales channels and enhance market core competitiveness.
III. Automated Production Process, Simplified Operation, and High-Efficiency Mass Production
This compaction water ring pelletizing system integrates crushing, compaction, plasticizing, filtering, cooling and pelletizing processes, adopting a fully automated integrated design. With a high degree of automation and low operation threshold, it is very suitable for the production environment of overseas customers with high labor costs and insufficient professional operators. Whether it is used as a professional plastic film recycling machine for waste film processing or a multi-functional pp pe recycling machine for mixed plastic recycling, the entire production line only needs 1-2 workers to complete full-process monitoring, feeding, equipment inspection and parameter adjustment, which greatly saves labor costs for customers.
The whole production process is continuous, standardized and efficient: After pre-cleaning, drying and crushing, LLDPE plastic fragments and PP/PE waste materials are automatically transported by a belt conveyor. After precise impurity removal by a metal detector, the materials enter the KC granulation bucket for compaction pretreatment. The compacted uniform materials are sent to the KSE extruder for high-temperature melting and plasticization. The molten materials are deeply purified by a plate filter, and finally enter the water ring pelletizing system for high-speed cutting, circulating water cooling, dehydration and screening, producing high-purity and high-quality recycled plastic pellets. The whole process runs stably without interruption, giving full play to the efficient processing performance of the pp pe waste recycling machine unit.
