As plastic manufacturers increasingly focus on scrap utilization rates and production costs, selecting the right plastic pelletizing line based on actual scrap generation volumes has become a critical consideration during equipment upgrades.
Recently, KiTech Machinery supplied a KCP140 plastic pelletizing line to a Mexican client specializing in plastic production and recycling. The client primarily recycles film rolls generated during their own manufacturing processes, currently producing approximately 200 tons of scrap per month. Their existing recycling equipment had a processing capacity of about 500 kg/h; however, driven by rising production demands, they sought to enhance their overall plastic film recycling capabilities and requested a line with a capacity of approximately 1,000 kg/h.
After a comprehensive analysis of the client's actual scrap volume, production cadence, equipment efficiency, and future requirements, KiTech did not simply configure the equipment based on the requested maximum capacity. Instead, the company recommended a 500 kg/h KCP140 pelletizing line to ensure an optimal match between equipment capacity and the client's actual material supply.
