PE granulator
The European Standard High-Efficiency PE granulator is engineered specifically to address the core pain points of EU and Western European plastic recycling enterprises—low recycling efficiency, non-compliance with strict environmental regulations, and soaring labor costs. This high-performance pelletizer efficiently processes HDPE bottles, LDPE films, and PE scraps, transforming waste polyethylene into premium regrind that fully meets EU recycling standards. Equipped with advanced automatic control systems and certified by CE and ISO 9001, it fully complies with the 2025-enforced PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), ensuring your recycling operations remain legally compliant and sustainably profitable. Unlike conventional granulators, this model integrates a high-speed rotor and precision filtration system, minimizing dust emissions and material waste while maximizing output and granule quality.
Why It Matters: Solve Your PE Recycling Pain Points
For European recycling businesses, compliance with PPWR regulations and operational efficiency are non-negotiable. This PE granulator delivers targeted solutions to your most pressing challenges:
- Compliance Assurance: Fully aligns with PPWR requirements, ensuring recycled PE granules meet 2030 recyclability targets and PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) content standards. This eliminates the risk of fines and removes market access barriers within the EU.
- Dust & Noise Control: Features an enclosed feeding system and high-efficiency dust collection, reducing dust emissions to ≤5mg/m³ (tested and certified by TÜV SÜD) and meeting EU EN 12012-1 safety standards for plastic processing machinery. Noise levels are controlled below 75dB, creating a safer, more comfortable working environment for your team.
- Automation Saves Labor: Equipped with a user-friendly PLC touch screen control, automatic feeding, quick screen changing, and real-time fault alarm functions. This reduces manual operation by 60% compared to traditional models, significantly cutting labor costs and minimizing human error.
- Economic Benefits: Converts 1 ton of PE waste into 0.95 tons of high-quality regrind (verified by third-party test data), which can be resold at 60-80% of the price of virgin PE. This shortens your investment payback period to just 12-18 months, delivering rapid ROI.

FAQ: Answers to Your Key Questions
Q1: How to choose a plastic granulator for HDPE bottles?
A1: Prioritize models with high torque, wear-resistant blades, and adjustable screen mesh. This EU-standard PE granulator is optimized for HDPE bottle recycling—its 350mm rotor and 8 tungsten carbide blades ensure efficient, uniform crushing, while the customizable screen mesh (2-8mm) produces granules perfectly suited for reprocessing into new bottles, pipes, or other PE products.
Q2: What is the difference between dry and wet plastic granulation?
A2: Dry granulation skips washing and drying steps, using advanced separation technology to remove impurities—saving water but requiring precise filtration. Wet granulation includes washing and drying processes, producing higher-purity granules but consuming more water. This model supports both methods, adapting seamlessly to different PE waste cleanliness levels and regional water availability.
Q3: Does this PE granulator comply with PPWR regulations?
A3: Yes. It fully meets all PPWR requirements, including recyclable design standards and PCR content tracking. Third-party test data confirms the recycled granules meet the 2030 minimum 70% recycling rate target, ensuring your operations remain legally compliant in the EU market.
Q4: How to maintain the PE granulator to extend its service life?
A4: Regularly inspect and replace worn blades (service life: 8000 working hours), clean the screen and dust collection system weekly, and lubricate the rotor and motor monthly. We provide a 1-year warranty and on-site maintenance service across the EU to keep your equipment running smoothly.
