New Case in Korea: Kitech KSP series Single Screw Low-Temperature granulation system is running successfully at Customer's Factory!
Recently, Kitech Machinery's engineering team has received good news from a Korean customer factory - the KSP series single screw low temperature granulation system has been successfully debugged and put into stable operation! This system is designed for the challenging low melt index high density polyethylene (HDPE) flake recycling. The successful application in South Korea marks that Kitech's technical strength in the field of efficient and high-quality recycling of rigid plastics has been internationally recognized again.
Challenges and breakthroughs
The material processed in this project is HDPE post-industrial waste flakes with extremely low melt index. This type of material has always been a pain point in the recycling industry due to its poor fluidity and difficulty in processing. Kitech Machinery's KSP series low temperature granulation system effectively overcomes this problem with its unique single screw low temperature plasticization technology, and successfully converts HDPE waste into high-quality, reusable recycled particles.
Core advantages
The KSP series is a high-performance solution specially designed by Kitech Machinery for rigid plastic recycling. Its core value lies in the efficient closed-loop design.
Integrated process: The key processes such as feeding, plasticizing, filtering, cutting and drying are integrated into one, and the process is compact and efficient.
Wide range of applications: It can not only process HDPE materials, but also be used for the recycling of various hard plastic recycled sheets such as PP, PE, ABS, PS, HIPS, PC, etc.
High quality and high yield: The optimized process design ensures that the production line can output efficiently, and the particles produced are of good purity and uniform quality, which fully meets the downstream production standards and realizes the true closed-loop utilization of resources.
Core components
1. Screw feeding system
Stainless steel screw feeder (customizable capacity)
Integrated magnetic frame, automatically removes magnetic metal impurities and protects the life of the main machine
2. High-efficiency plasticizing system
(1) Single screw extruder Proprietary screw design: output and plasticizing efficiency increased by 20% Wear-resistant alloy screw/barrel: life extended by 150%
(2) Precision temperature control unit Special cooling system: melt temperature is stably controlled at 180-190℃ Low temperature plasticizing process: materials can be melted and granulated at low temperature, effectively avoiding material performance damage.
3. Piston screen changer
Large filter surface area: effectively captures fine particles and contaminants.
High production efficiency: suitable for high-volume applications, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
Good sealing performance: excellent sealing system, completely eliminates polymer leakage.
4. Water ring pelletizing unit
Kitech Machinery adopts a European-designed cutting system with variable frequency motor to ensure particle size consistency of ±0.5mm, and anti-sticking water circulation to ensure smooth material flow.
5. Multi-stage drying system
Kitech's drying system combines vibration and centrifugal drying modules to achieve ≤0.1% residual moisture, meeting the direct application requirements of subsequent injection molding, extrusion and processes.
6. Intelligent control system
Kitech uses original Siemens PLC program and touch screen, and is equipped with one-button start, safety interlock and recipe memory. It supports multiple material switching without repeated parameter settings.
7. Monitorable packaging system
The packaging system is equipped with a double hopper storage system, which increases the material storage capacity by 150%. Equipped with a digital monitoring system, it can track production in real time.
The complete success of this Korean project is not only a perfect debut of the KSP series low-temperature granulation system of Kitech, but also a strong proof of the global competitiveness of Kitech's integrated plastic recycling solutions. It fully demonstrates how Kitech can efficiently and reliably transform complex post-industrial plastic waste, especially low melt index materials with high processing difficulty, into high-value recycled resources through innovative technologies, helping global customers achieve sustainable development goals.
Kitech will continue to deepen its plastic recycling technology and empower the global circular economy with smarter, more efficient and more environmentally friendly solutions! The KSP series granulation system is efficient, low power, durable, intelligent and automated, making it an ideal choice for rigid plastic recycling.
