PE Granulator

In the past 13 years of practice, I have contacted a large number of PE recycling users. Whether it is small and medium-sized recycling enterprises or individual practitioners, everyone’s core pain points are concentrated: PE plastic has special melting characteristics, ordinary granulators have uneven plasticization and poor granule quality; PE materials are easy to be mixed with impurities, equipment is easy to wear and frequent failures occur; at the same time, they are worried about the difficulty of recycled granules meeting compliance standards, affecting sales, and high equipment energy consumption and high later maintenance costs. The 125 Type PE Granulator accurately solves these pain points. All configurations are in line with the actual needs of PE granulation, balancing high efficiency, wear resistance, energy saving and compliance. It is simple to operate, no professional technical reserves are needed, and both small and medium-sized enterprises and individual recyclers can put into production and get results quickly.

Working Process

The 125 Type PE Granulator adopts an integrated design with a concise and efficient process and a high degree of automation throughout, accurately adapting to the process characteristics of PE plastic melting, plasticizing, cooling and shaping, requiring little manual intervention and greatly saving labor costs. The specific process is clear and easy to understand, and novices can quickly master it, fully meeting the practical needs of PE granulation:

1. PE Material Pretreatment: Simply crush and sort PE waste plastics (PE films, PE bottles, etc.), remove impurities such as sediment, metal and fibers (can be used with a plastic crusher). No complex cleaning is needed, simplifying operation steps, reducing labor costs, and at the same time reducing the wear of impurities on the equipment and avoiding affecting the quality of recycled PE granules, which is also a key pretreatment link of PE granulation.
2. Automatic Feeding: Send the pretreated PE materials into the feed inlet of the PE granulator main machine, and stably transport them into the barrel through the screw. The feeding speed can be flexibly adjusted through the frequency converter, effectively avoiding feeding blockage, ensuring production continuity, no manual on-duty feeding is needed, adapting to the needs of continuous PE material processing.
3. Heating and Plasticizing: Start the 60KW electromagnetic heating and heating coil, heat the barrel in sections to 150-230℃ (accurately adapting to the melting range of PE plastic), and the screw rotates at high speed to fully melt and plasticize the PE materials. At the same time, filter residual impurities through the screen changer to further ensure the purity of recycled PE granules and avoid uneven plasticization affecting the granule quality, which is the core link of PE granulation.
4. Extrusion and Granulation: The plasticized molten PE plastic is extruded through the die head to form uniform plastic strips. After being quickly cooled and shaped by the stainless steel water tank (PE plastic needs slow cooling and shaping to avoid internal stress), it is sent to the 180-type alloy roller granulator, and uniform granules are cut out through frequency conversion speed regulation, which can flexibly adjust the granule size according to downstream needs, adapting to different processing purposes.
5. Cooling and Drying: After the cut recycled PE granules are cooled by the water tank, they are automatically transported to the stainless steel silo, and quickly air-dried by the fan to remove the moisture on the surface of the granules, ensuring that the granules are dry and free of agglomeration, and can directly enter the packaging link without additional drying treatment, improving production efficiency.
6. Finished Product Collection: The dried recycled PE granules can be directly taken out from the silo, packaged and put into storage for secondary processing or direct sale, realizing a closed-loop whole process of “PE material pretreatment – granulation – finished product”, which is efficient and convenient, greatly improving production efficiency, and truly realizing “turning waste into treasure” of PE waste plastics.
