The plastic film recycling line is mainly used to recycle plastic waste into reusable plastic pellets. Shuliy has been manufacturing plastic recycling machines for more than 10 years and is a professional plastic pelletizing line manufacturer. Our plastic recycling granulator machines have been exported to Germany, Saudi Arabia, Kenya and many other countries. Plastic recycling business can be highly profitable for recyclers.
What is plastic film recycling line?
Plastic film recycling line is an automated pelletizing production plant including collection, cleaning, crushing, melting and other processes. Through this granulating process, various plastic film wastes, such as plastic bags, packaging films, agricultural films, etc., are converted into high-quality recycled pellets.
Plastic film recycling plant mainly includes plastic crusher, rinsing tank, vertical dewatering machine, plastic granulator, cooling tank, pellet cutting device and so on.

Raw materials and finished products of plastic granulating plant
The main raw materials processed in plastic film recycling line include various plastic film wastes, such as polyethylene film (PE) and polypropylene film (PP). These wastes usually come from supermarket shopping bags, packaging films, agricultural films, woven bags, beverage packaging films, frozen food packaging films, medical plastic films as well as cling film, PP raffia bags, cement bags and so on.
After being processed through plastic film recycling lines, high-quality recycled plastic pellets can be obtained and these recycled raw materials can be used to manufacture new plastic products.
Workflow of plastic film recycling plant
Step 1: Plastic film crushing
Plastic crusher is mainly used for crushing and cleaning waste plastic products such as waste agricultural film and woven bags. The machine adopts alloy steel blades with long life and the cutting knives are specially treated to crush the materials into small pieces in a short time.
The first step in the plastic film recycling line is to use a plastic crusher to physically pulverize the waste plastic film into smaller pieces for subsequent processing. This helps to reduce the size of the raw film for subsequent steps.
Step 2: Use of plastic film washing machine for cleaning pieces
The plastic film washing machine is made of stainless steel or iron plate and is fitted with a number of toothed agitators that force the plastic pieces forward. It is carried out by rinsing the crushed material, thus settling impurities and removing dirt.
Step 3: Dewatering with plastic film dryer machine
Plastic film dryer machine is able to replace manual fishing and add cleaning and automatic high-speed dewatering function, so as to achieve the remarkable purpose of saving labor and energy. The key to this step is to ensure that the plastic film is dry before moving to the next stage to improve product quality.
Step 4: Plastic pelletizer melting and granulation
Plastic pelletizer is the most important equipment in the plastic film recycling line. Thanks to the unique induction heating, the material is melted under the heat of the heating ring. The heat can be retained in the machine, reducing the initial preheating time and always ensuring energy savings, effectively reducing costs for the customer.
The melt flows out of the main machine outlet and into the auxiliary machine. Under the extrusion of the auxiliary machine, it is extruded from the mold in the headbox. Shuliy plastic granulator has many models and can be customized according to customers’ requirements, if there is any demand you can always contact us for more details.
Step 5: Cooling plastic strands by cooling tank
Cooling tank is one of the main types of equipment for plastic film recycling plant, which is made of stainless steel and does not rust or corrode. The plastic strips produced by the plastic pelletizer are cooled in cooling tank to ensure that they remain stable in shape and quality.
Step 6: Cutting plastic strips into small pellets with plastic cutter machine
After the plastic strips have cooled, the plastic cutter machine is used to cut the long strips into smaller pellets for different applications. This step can also be used to control the size and shape of the pellets according to customer requirements.
Step 7: Storage of pellets in storage bin
Finally, the plastic pellets are stored in stainless steel storage bin, which can be customized in size according to the customer’s requirements. These pellets can then be used to manufacture new plastic products, resulting in the sustainable reuse of resources.
