For home-based recyclers, small workshops, and community recycling centers with extremely limited space and budget, traditional PET recycling machines are often too large, expensive, and complex to operate. The PETR-200 Portable PET Granulator solves these pain points by combining a lightweight, portable design, dual manual/automated operation, and ultra-low maintenance—making it the ideal solution for small-scale PET recycling. This compact PET recycling machine efficiently processes small batches of PET bottles, containers, and scrap into high-quality pellets, helping small operators reduce waste disposal costs, generate extra income, and contribute to environmental sustainability—all with minimal upfront investment and operational complexity.
Core Features & How It Solves Your PET Recycling Challenges
Specifically engineered for ultra-small-scale operations, the PETR-200 PET granulator addresses the unique pain points of home-based recyclers and small workshops:
- Lightweight & Portable Design:With dimensions of 1800×800×1500 mm and a weight of just 800 kg, the PETR-200 is easily movable with a forklift or even manually (thanks to built-in wheels). It occupies less than 1.5 square meters of floor space, making it perfect for home workshops, garages, and small community recycling centers.
- Dual Manual & Automated Operation:The machine offers both manual feeding (for small, occasional batches) and automated feeding (for continuous small-scale processing), providing flexibility for operators with varying needs. Its simple control panel is easy to operate, requiring no technical training—ideal for home-based recyclers and non-technical staff.
- Ultra-Affordable & Low Maintenance:Priced 60% lower than standard compact PET granulators, the PETR-200 is accessible for home-based recyclers and small workshops with limited budgets. It features simple, easy-to-replace components and low maintenance costs (approximately $200-400 per year), minimizing operational expenses.
- Reliable Small-Scale Performance:Despite its compact size, the PETR-200 delivers a stable output of 50-200 kg/h, with a 95% pelletizing rate—ensuring efficient conversion of small batches of PET waste into usable regrind. It is CE certified and PPWR compliant, guaranteeing safety and environmental compliance for small-scale operations.
