PET Granulator
For pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare facilities, recycling PET medical packaging waste demands strict adherence to sterility, purity, and regulatory standards. Traditional PET granulators cannot meet the rigorous requirements of medical-grade applications—they lack sterile processing capabilities and fail to remove micro-contaminants, resulting in non-compliant regrind. The PETG-700 Medical-Grade PET Granulator is engineered to solve these challenges, integrating sterile processing, multi-stage micro-filtration, and traceability systems to produce high-purity, sterile PET pellets that meet ISO 13485, FDA, and EU MDR standards. This advanced PET recycling machine is the ideal solution for converting PET medical packaging waste into high-value, compliant materials for medical device components and pharmaceutical packaging.
Core Features & How It Solves Your PET Recycling Challenges
Designed exclusively for medical-grade applications, the PETG-700 PET granulator addresses the unique challenges of producing sterile, high-purity PET pellets:
- Sterile Processing System:Equipped with a high-temperature sterile module (300℃) and UV disinfection system, the machine eliminates 99.99% of bacteria, pathogens, and micro-contaminants from PET medical packaging waste. This ensures the final pellets are sterile and suitable for medical device and pharmaceutical packaging applications.
- Multi-Stage Micro-Filtration:A five-stage micro-filtration system (down to 0.1μm) removes even the smallest impurities (micro-plastics, metal particles, residual chemicals) from PET waste, ensuring the final pellets meet the strict purity requirements of medical-grade applications. The sealed processing chamber prevents recontamination from external pollutants.
- Precision Temperature & Pressure Control:A high-precision control system maintains melting temperature (260-270℃) and processing pressure within ±1℃ and ±0.1 MPa, respectively—preventing thermal degradation and ensuring consistent pellet quality. This results in recycled PET pellets with the same mechanical properties and biocompatibility as virgin medical-grade PET.
- Full Traceability & Compliance:The PETG-700 is ISO 13485, FDA, CE, and EU MDR certified, and fully compliant with PPWR regulations. It features a comprehensive traceability system that records every processing parameter (temperature, pressure, sterilization time, output) for batch tracking and regulatory compliance—critical for medical and pharmaceutical industries.
