How It Works

A clean, closed‑loop workflow—optimized for throughput and quality.

1Feeding & Sorting

Dosed feeding with metal detection to protect downstream components.

2Shredding & Compaction

High‑torque shredding and densification for steady downstream washing.

3Friction Washing

Intensive friction removes inks, organics and surface contaminants.

4Float‑Sink Separation

Density separation and label removal increase purity and yield.

5Hot Wash & Rinsing

Caustic/hot wash for oils and adhesives, followed by clean rinse.

6Drying & Quality Control

Centrifugal and thermal drying deliver low moisture flakes, verified inline.

7Extrusion & Pelletizing

Clean flakes are fed to an extruder for pelletizing to support compounding and downstream extrusion.

Key Benefits

Designed for performance, uptime and total cost of ownership.

Energy‑Efficient

Optimized drives and heat management cut kWh per kg.

Consistent Flake Quality

Stable outlet moisture and low contamination for high‑grade flakes.

Low Maintenance

Modular wear parts and quick‑change screens minimize downtime.

Compact & Modular

Small footprint with scalable modules to match throughput.

Smart Control

PLC with recipe presets, remote diagnostics and IIoT hooks.

Built for Quality

Food‑grade options, stainless contact parts and CE compliance.

From Pain Points to Performance

Challenges

Inconsistent feedstocks cause quality drift and rejects.
High energy and water consumption inflate operating costs.
Frequent stoppages for cleaning and screen changes.

Our Solution

Closed‑loop stages and hot wash deliver consistently clean flakes.
Energy‑optimized drives and water recirculation reduce utilities.
Self‑cleaning filters and quick‑swap wear parts keep uptime high.

Built to turn variability into predictable output you can sell.

Brug

Supports a wide range of post‑industrial and post‑consumer plastics.

Fremstillede Spørgsmål

What plastics does it process?

PET, PP, HDPE, LDPE/LLDPE film and mixed PE. Ask us about specific contamination levels and MFI targets.

What flake moisture and cleanliness can I expect?

Typical outlet moisture ≤1% and contaminant removal up to 95–98% with hot wash, depending on input mix.

Do you provide installation and training?

Yes. We offer turnkey installation, operator training and remote support.

Can the line be customized?

Absolutely. We tailor modules—pre‑washers, friction washers, dryers, separation stages and filtration—to your throughput and material mix, with integrated downstream pelletizing.

What are the maintenance requirements for this production line?

The line is designed for low maintenance with modular wear parts and quick-change screens to minimize downtime.

How much labor is required to operate this line?

Depending on the capacity, the line can be operated by 3 to 6 people.

What are the energy and water consumption of this line?

The line is energy-efficient with optimized drives and heat management. Water consumption varies by capacity, ranging from 1.5 to 6.0 m³/h, and the system includes water recirculation to reduce usage.

What are the main advantages of your machine compared to traditional lines?

Our line is a fully integrated system, from pre-wash to pelletizing, ensuring consistency. It’s more energy-efficient, features PLC-based automation with recipe presets, and is designed for lower maintenance and a smaller footprint.

What is the footprint of this production line?

The required area varies by capacity, ranging from 240 to 520 m².

Is this equipment suitable for processing post-consumer plastic?

Yes, the line is designed to support a wide range of post-industrial and post-consumer plastics, including PET bottles, HDPE/PP rigid plastics, and various films.
