Agricultural Plastic Film Waste 360kg/hplastic pelletizing machine  Success Case

Background: Pham Thi Hong, a 40-year-old woman who owns her own orchard in the suburban area of , has been engaged in fruit planting for 15 years. Her 5,000-square-meter orchard mainly grows mangoes and durians. In recent years, she has used agricultural plastic films to cover the soil for heat preservation and moisture retention, improving fruit yield and quality. However, a large amount of agricultural plastic film waste is generated each year after harvest—these films are difficult to degrade, and random disposal pollutes the soil and affects fruit tree growth. With a junior high school education and rich agricultural experience, Hong decided to purchase a plastic pelletizing machine  to process the agricultural plastic film waste in her orchard into recyclable particles, achieving resource reuse and protecting the orchard environment.

The Challenge

Hong’s agricultural plastic film waste recycling business faced agriculture-specific technical challenges. First, agricultural plastic films are thin and prone to wrapping around equipment during processing, leading to jamming and low efficiency. Second, agricultural plastic film waste is often mixed with soil, sand, and plant residues, with high impurity content that affects granulated product quality. Third, the orchard is located in the suburbs with unstable power supply, and the standard plastic pelletizing machine  she initially tried could not adapt to voltage fluctuations, frequently shutting down unexpectedly. Compared to other suppliers, Hong needed aplastic pelletizing machine  that can process thin agricultural plastic films, has strong impurity removal capabilities, and can adapt to unstable power supply. She also prioritized the agricultural plastic film processing capacity andplastic pelletizing machine  power adaptability.

The Solution

We provided Hong with a customizedplastic pelletizing machine  tailored for agricultural plastic film waste recycling, designed to match the characteristics of agricultural plastic films and the suburban power supply situation, with the following professional configurations:

• Equipped with a TL-360 plastic crusher with an anti-wrapping design that effectively prevents thin agricultural plastic films from wrapping around the crusher blade, avoiding jamming; the crusher is equipped with a soil and sand separation device that removes soil and sand from plastic film waste, improving raw material purity.
• Screw length-diameter ratio (L/D Ratio) of 1:33, paired with a flexible temperature adjustment system that adapts to thin plastic film processing, ensuring films are fully melted and granulated; the screw is coated with an anti-wear layer to extend service life.
• Wide-voltage design that adapts to unstable suburban power supply (voltage range: 180V-240V), avoiding unexpected shutdowns; the equipment is equipped with a power-off protection function for safe operation.
• Mobile operation guidance: our technical team visited the orchard to install and debug the equipment, and taught Hong how to collect and sort agricultural plastic film waste to maximize processing efficiency.

The Results

After 5 months of operation, the plastic pelletizing machine  brought significant benefits to Hong’s orchard. The daily processing capacity of agricultural plastic film waste reached 360kg/h, and the anti-wrapping design completely resolved equipment jamming, improving processing efficiency by 40%. The soil and sand separation device ensures high granulated product purity, and the resulting plastic particles are sold to local agricultural plastic film factories, bringing Hong an additional 900,000 VND in monthly income. The wide-voltage design ensures stable equipment operation even with unstable suburban power supply, without disrupting processing. Recycling plastic film waste has also improved the orchard’s soil environment, increasing mango and durian yields by 10%. Hong said: “This plastic pelletizing machine  is tailor-made for agricultural plastic film waste! It solves the problem of film wrapping equipment and adapts to the orchard’s unstable power supply. It not only helps me recycle waste and earn extra income but also protects the orchard soil. Now my orchard is cleaner, and fruit yields are higher!”
