Background
Ms. Siriporn, a 42-year-old female entrepreneur with 8 years of experience in Bangkok’s plastic waste collection industry, operates a 500㎡ mid-sized recycling workshop in the Thon Buri district. With only a high school education, she started her business by collecting post-consumer PP films from local fresh markets and packaging factories—an area ripe for growth amid Thailand’s 2027 100% plastic recycling policy. As Bangkok’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) circular economy incentives drive surging local demand for high-quality recycled plastic, her outdated Plastic Granulator could no longer meet the strict quality and output requirements of downstream buyers, putting her business at risk of losing key clients. She urgently needed a reliable Plastic Granulator to scale her operations and stay competitive in Bangkok’s growing recycling market.
Plastic Granulator
The Challenge
- The PP film collected from Bangkok’s markets had a moisture content of up to 12%, which caused frequent porosity defects in the Granulator output. This made the recycled granules unqualified for downstream injection molding applications, leading to high product rejection rates and lost orders—issues that her old Plastic Granulatorfailed to resolve effectively.
- The old granulator’s low output (only 280kg/h) failed to fulfill large-volume orders from Bangkok’s leading packaging manufacturers, who were scaling up their use of recycled materials to comply with Thailand’s green policies.
- Unstable temperature control in traditional machines resulted in material coking, pushing the product waste rate to 18%—a significant cost burden for a mid-sized workshop.
- High energy consumption (125kWh/ton) further squeezed profit margins, compounded by Thailand’s rising industrial electricity prices in 2026, which increased operational costs by 10% year-over-year.
The Solution
To address Ms. Siriporn’s challenges, we customized the TL-G120 Plastic Granulator—Thailand’s top-selling model for film recycling—tailored specifically for Bangkok’s PP film processing needs. This Granulator is designed to tackle the unique issues of processing post-consumer PP films, ensuring high output and quality while reducing operational costs.
- A 36:1 screw length-to-diameter (L/D) ratiowith high-torque design, optimized for the plasticization of soft, flexible PP films.
- A dual-stage vacuum exhaust systemthat effectively extracts 99.8% of moisture and volatile ink gases from the PP film, completely solving the porosity issue that plagued her old equipment.
- PLC full automation control paired with 9-section PID temperature regulation, ensuring stable processing parameters and minimizing human error.
- A hydraulic fast screen changerthat reduces downtime by 70%, allowing for continuous production during screen replacements.
- Energy-saving barrel insulation technology that cuts heat loss, lowering overall energy consumption.
- 24/7 local Thai-speaking after-sales support based in Bangkok, with a 4-hour on-site response time—critical for minimizing production interruptions.
Plastic Granulator
The Results
Since installing the TL-G120 Plastic Granulator, Ms. Siriporn’s workshop has achieved remarkable, verifiable results—all made possible by the high-performance Plastic Granulator tailored to her Bangkok-based operations:
- Production output surged from 280kg/h to 650kg/h—a 132% increase, enabling her to fulfill all pending large orders and secure 3 new long-term clients.
- Moisture-related porosity defects were completely eliminated; the recycled PP granules now achieve food-grade transparency with 0 black spots, meeting the highest standards for injection molding.
- Energy consumption dropped by 22% to 97.5kWh/ton, translating to annual savings of 102,000 THBin electricity costs alone.
- The product waste rate plummeted to 3.5%, boosting annual profits by 8 million THB.
- The equipment qualified for Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) 8-year tax exemption for green recycling projects, further reducing operational costs.
Ms. Siriporn’s Quote: “This Plastic Granulator transformed my business—high output, top-quality granules, and unbeatable after-sales support! Now I supply 5 major Bangkok packaging factories, and my reputation in the local market has never been stronger.”
FAQ
- Q: How did the dual vacuum system solve the moisture-related porosity issue in PP film processing?
A: The dual-stage vacuum exhaust system extracts 99.8% of moisture and volatile substances from the PP film during plasticization, ensuring the final granules are dense, pore-free, even when the feed material has a 12% moisture content. - Q: Is on-site training provided for Bangkok-based operators who are new to the equipment?
A: Yes, we offer free on-site installation, 3 days of Thai-language operator training, and a 1-year comprehensive warranty to ensure seamless operation.
