Plastic recycling pelletizer machine is an important piece of equipment used to convert waste plastic products into recycled pellets for remanufacturing plastic products. However, a common question is can any plastic material be extruded by plastic recycling pelletizer machine?

Working principle of plastic recycling pelletizer machine

Plastic extruder pellets machine is a machine used to process waste plastics, which works by converting waste plastics into small pelletized recycled plastics through the process of heating, extruding and cutting. These granules can be used to make a variety of new plastic products, such as containers, pipes and so on.

What kind of materials are suitable to be extruded?

Plastic recycling pelletizer machines can process many different types of plastic materials, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), and more. These materials can come from waste plastic products, by-products of the manufacturing process or discarded raw materials. However, different materials may require different processing parameters and extruder heads to ensure that high-quality recycled pellets are obtained.

How to select the right material for extruding?

  • Material type: Make sure your plastic recycling pelletizer machine is compatible with the type of plastic you have chosen. Different types of plastic have different melting points and processing requirements.
  • Degree of contamination: The degree of contamination of the waste plastic is critical to the recycling process. Try to choose materials with a low level of contamination to avoid damage to the machine or loss of pellet quality.
  • Pellet quality requirements: The quality standard of the recycled pellets is determined according to the requirements of the final product. Some applications may require a higher quality of pellets.
  • Production scale: Consider your production scale and select the appropriate plastic pelletizer model and capacity.
