Kitech's KSP120 Single-Screw Pelletizer for Recycling HDPE Pipe Regrind Flakes
Recently, Kitech Machinery's KSP120 single-screw pelletizer successfully completed its official trial run, achieving a stable production capacity of 400-450 kg/h! This test primarily focused on HDPE pipe flakes, and the resulting pellet quality exceeded customer expectations: uniform, full pellets, pure color, smooth surface, and bubble-free, meeting the standards for high-end recycled plastic applications.
The KSP series pelletizing system is specifically designed for rigid plastic recycling. It integrates leading plate filtration technology, efficiently removing melt impurities and ensuring high-purity pellets without pre-cleaning or additional filtration steps. It is suitable for high-quality recycling applications such as blown film, injection molding, and pipe extrusion.
KiTech Machinery's groundbreaking integrated pelletizing system converts plastic waste into high-value pellets that can be directly reused in production, effectively closing the plastic recycling loop while optimizing operating economics by reducing pre-treatment, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing downtime.
I. Wide Range of Applications:
KiTech Machinery's KSP series pelletizing system is tailored for rigid plastic recycling.
PE/PP bottle flake recycling
HDPE pipe/pallet recycling
HDPE barrel and container recycling
PS/ABS engineering plastics pelletizing
High-quality PC bottle/barrel recycling
II. Core System Components
1. Screw Feeder
Conveys pre-crushed material to the extruder. A built-in magnetic separator effectively removes metal impurities, and the feed rate can be adjusted via a frequency converter. KiTech Machinery also provides customized services to meet production requirements for different materials.
2. Single-Screw Extruder
The high-power barrel and screw design provide excellent plasticizing capacity and efficient output. Its wear-resistant alloy material provides a service life 1.5 times that of traditional pelletizing equipment.
3. Vacuum Degassing System
KiTech Machinery's patented dual-stage design effectively removes low-molecular-weight compounds, residual moisture, and printing inks, doubling the efficiency of single-vacuum degassing systems and significantly improving the purity of plastic pellets.
4. Plate Type Filter
The single plate, double station plate screen changer features two filter plates, ensuring maximum filtration area and enabling continuous filter changes. It is ideal for manufacturers with high demands for production continuity. It is also equipped with a ceramic heater to maintain optimal melt temperature. A Gefran pressure sensor triggers an automatic screen change alarm, reducing the need for delayed screen changes.
5. European-style pelletizing system
The European-designed pelletizing system adjusts the pelletizing speed in real time based on melt pressure, ensuring uniform pellet shape and size (with a tolerance of ±0.2 mm) and effectively preventing pellet agglomeration.
6. Vibration and Centrifugal Drying
The combination of a vibration dryer and a centrifugal dehydrator ensures a moisture content of less than 3% in the final pellets. An integrated heat exchanger effectively cools industrial water, conserving water resources.
7. PLC Control Panel
KiTech utilizes leading-edge components from Siemens, Schneider, and ABB, along with a 3D visual interface. Features include one-button start/stop, recipe memory, and interlocking safety features, ensuring easy operation and a low learning curve.
III. Technical Advantages
The KSP series represents a significant advancement in single-stage recycling pelletizing technology, pioneering the integration of feeding, plasticizing, pelletizing, and drying functions. Its dual vacuum degassing system sets a new standard for contaminant removal efficiency, which is particularly important for post-industrial and post-consumer HDPE pipe applications.
