The Plastic Film Pelletizing Machine is a vital component in the plastic recycling industry, designed to transform post-consumer or post-industrial plastic films into reusable pellets. This machine efficiently processes a wide range of plastic materials, including PP, LDPE, and woven bags, through a series of steps such as melting, extrusion, cooling, and cutting.
With its high – performance design and cost – effective operation, it can handle capacities from 3000kg to 7000kg per 24 hours, making it a popular choice in countries like Kenya and Nigeria. The machine’s key components work together seamlessly to produce high – quality pellets that serve as valuable raw materials for manufacturing new plastic products.
How does a plastic film pelletizing machine work?
Mucha gente quiere conocer el proceso de granulación de películas plásticas. El principio de funcionamiento de una peletizadora de película plástica es simple. La máquina derrite la película de plástico a alta temperatura, la fuerza a través de un molde y luego utiliza una máquina cortadora de gránulos para cortarla en pequeños gránulos de plástico.
- Turn on the plastic granules making machine.
- Observe the operation of the granules machine, and put it into use after there is no abnormal sound or vibration.
- Preheat the recycling machine to melt the plastic. Note that too high temperature will turn melted plastic black, while too low temperature prevents plastic from melting.
- Put the crushed material into the feeding port of the plastic granulator machine, and add a forced feeder for plastic film material to prevent the recycling machines from not feeding.
- The material melts in the squeezing chamber and is pushed out continuously along with the squeezing screw.
- The material from the main engine will enter the auxiliary pelletizer again for secondary melting and extrusion.
- The material from the outlet can be put into the cooling tank for cooling and cut into small granules by a pellet cutter machine.
Plastic film granulator design
Un granulador de película plástica se compone principalmente de una entrada de alimentación, un tornillo, un dispositivo de calentamiento, una cámara de extrusión, un cabezal de descarga, un motor, reductory otras estructuras.
El cuerpo del granulador de plástico está hecho de un material de aleación de acero, que se caracteriza por su alta resistencia al calor, alta resistencia al desgaste y resistencia a la corrosión.
El tornillo dentro de la máquina es el dispositivo que se utiliza para empujar el material hacia adelante. Los tornillos también están fabricados de acero aleado resistente a la corrosión y de alta resistencia.
At Shuliy Recycling Machinery, we have three types of discharge die heads such as electric gear die heads, hydraulic die heads, and automatic slag filters.
El cabezal de la máquina está equipado con un dispositivo de alineación de la trituradora para corregir la concentricidad de la abertura de descarga y el cabezal del troquel.
La máquina también está equipada con un dispositivo de enfriamiento para eliminar el exceso de calor generado por la fricción giratoria del tornillo. Esto evita temperaturas excesivas que pueden causar algunos problemas no deseados.
