Plastic extruder machine, or plastic granulator, is mainly used to process industrial and agricultural waste plastics such as PP, LDPE films, and woven bags. Plastic pelletizer occupies an essential position in plastic pelletizing line and has a high market value. So, if there is a large amount of waste plastic in your place and you want to profit from it, you can choose Shuliy plastic extruder machine.
Introduction of plastic extruder machine
Plastic extruder machine is a key piece of plastic recycling equipment widely used in the plastic processing industry and is important in plastic pelletizing plant. It works by feeding waste plastic into a charging port, where it undergoes a series of processing steps that ultimately transform it into finished pellets of various shapes and sizes. High-quality plastic pellets for various applications such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding.
Raw materials and finished products of plastic granulator
Raw materials
What plastics can be extruded? Can any plastic material be extruded? Plastic extruder machine is widely used for all kinds of waste plastics, such as PE PP plastic bags, woven bags, raffia grass, agricultural film, cement bags, pipes, plastic buckets, tubs and so on. If you have EPS or EPE foam, we also provide related plastic foam granulator.
Finished products
Plastic recycling granulator processes waste plastics into finished products in the form of recycled pellets, these granules can be directly used to make new plastic products, such as plastic bags, bottles, pipes, films and so on.
Working principle of plastic pellet making machine
Do you know what is the working principle of plastic extruder machine? The working principle of plastic granulator is based on the properties of thermoplastics.
The raw material is first fed into the plastic film recycling machine through a charging port and then conveyed through a screw press to the press chamber. In the press chamber, the raw material is subjected to high temperatures and pressures, where it is gradually melted and mixed. Subsequently, the molten plastic is extruded through the die head to form finished pellets of the desired shape.
Throughout the process, a heating unit provides the necessary thermal energy to ensure the flow of the plastic.
How does a plastic granulator machine work?
Plastic granulator machine design and structure
This plastic pelletizing machine is mainly composed of feeding port, screw press, press chamber, heating device, discharge port, die head, reducer and other parts.
The diameter of the screw, the distance between the screw and the barrel wall, and the length of the screw in the plastic recycling granulator machine are different according to the different granulating materials. Therefore, one plastic recycling granulator cannot process many materials at the same time.
3 types of heating for plastic granulator
There are three main heating methods for plastic extruder machines in the market: electromagnetic heating, ceramic heating device, and iron heating device.
This method generates heat through electromagnetic induction, which can quickly raise the temperature and is suitable for high-efficiency production.
The ironing heater is heated by thermocouples and is suitable for production that requires high-temperature accuracy.
The ceramic heating method has stability and uniformity, suitable for the production process that needs to maintain a certain temperature.
3 types of die heads for plastic pelletizer
Plastic extruder machine is equipped with three different types of die heads to meet different pelleting needs, i.e., electric gear die head, automatic slag filter and hydraulic die head. Customers can choose the right diehead according to their needs.
Electric gear die head
The electric gear die head of the plastic recycling granulator is suitable for pellet production that requires high precision and consistency. It is driven by motorized gears to precisely control the size and shape of the pellets.
Hydraulic die head
The hydraulic die head is driven by a hydraulic system and is suitable for pellet production requiring high pressure and density.
Automatic slag filter
The automatic slag filter automatically filters out unwanted material to ensure the purity of the finished product.
