Background
Ms. Malee, a 40-year-old female former factory engineer with 10 years of experience in plastic manufacturing, runs a 700㎡ high-tech recycling plant in Pathum Thani’s Lam Luk Ka district—home to many of Thailand’s leading automotive and electronics clusters. A master’s degree holder in materials science, she focuses on recycling industrial plastic waste (ABS, PS, PP) from local factories, which require high-purity recycled materials for their production processes. However, her outdated recycling line lacked automation and couldn’t meet the strict purity and consistency standards demanded by industrial clients.
Plastic Recycling Machine
The Challenge
- The industrial plastic waste contained a mix of ABS, PS, and PP, requiring efficient sorting—manual separation was inaccurate (error rate of 12%), leading to low product purity and client rejection.
- The waste was heavily contaminated with oil, ink, and chemical residues from industrial parts, making the recycled granules unmarketable to high-end industrial clients.
- The old Plastic Recycling Machine had low automation, requiring 6 workers to operate—high labor costs in Pathum Thani’s industrial sector (wages up 14% in 2026) squeezed profits.
- Inconsistent output (450kg/h) made it impossible to meet Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery requirements for industrial clients, who rely on timely supplies of recycled materials to maintain their production lines.
The Solution
We provided Ms. Malee with the TL-IP800 Industrial Plastic Recycling Machine, a high-tech integrated line designed for industrial plastic waste recycling in Pathum Thani:
- An X-ray optical sorterthat separates ABS, PS, and PP with 99% accuracy, eliminating manual sorting errors and ensuring high product purity.
- A thermal washing + high-pressure friction cleaning system that removes 99.8% of oil, ink, and chemical residues from the industrial plastic waste.
- Full automation with PLC + HMI control, cutting the required labor force from 6 to 2 workers and ensuring consistent, error-free operation.
- An integrated crusher + granulator system for continuous production, with a maximum capacity of 850kg/h.
- A remote monitoring system that allows Ms. Malee to track machine performance 24/7 and enable predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime.
- A dedicated account manager based in Pathum Thani, providing personalized support and ensuring the machine meets the unique needs of her industrial clients.
