PET Recycling Machine
For mid-scale recycling facilities, food packaging plants, and plastic manufacturers processing 5-15 tons of PET waste daily, moisture contamination is a major challenge—wet PET waste leads to uneven pellets, poor mechanical properties, and reduced market value of recycled regrind. Traditional PET granulators lack integrated drying systems, requiring separate drying equipment that increases operational costs and takes up additional space. The PETG-900 Mid-Scale PET Recycling Machine solves these pain points by integrating a built-in drying system, precision temperature control, and automated feeding—delivering moisture-free, high-purity PET pellets that meet food-grade and industrial standards. Designed for mid-scale operations, it balances output capacity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, making it the ideal choice for businesses looking to scale their recycling operations without excessive capital investment.
Core Features & How It Solves Your PET Recycling Challenges
Engineered for mid-scale reliability and moisture control, the PETG-900 PET recycling machine addresses the key pain points of mid-volume PET waste processing:
- Integrated Drying System:Equipped with a built-in hot air drying module (120-150℃) and moisture sensor, the machine removes 99.8% of moisture from PET waste before processing. This eliminates pellet discoloration, air bubbles, and brittleness, ensuring moisture-free pellets with consistent mechanical properties—suitable for food packaging and high-value plastic products.
- Balanced Output & Efficiency:Powered by a 30 kW high-efficiency motor, the PETG-900 delivers a stable output of 500-900 kg/h of high-quality PET pellets. Its inverter control system and heat recovery technology reduce energy consumption by 20% compared to standard mid-scale PET granulators, translating to annual savings of over $12,000 for facilities processing 10 tons of PET waste daily.
- Automated Feeding & Contamination Removal:A built-in automated feeding system and pre-cleaning module (label peeling, cap separation) reduce manual labor by 60%, ensuring consistent processing and minimizing human error. The pre-cleaning system removes 99% of non-PET contaminants, guaranteeing high-purity pellets that meet FDA and food-grade standards.
- Compliance & Versatility:Fully compliant with PPWR regulations, CE certified, ISO 9001 approved, and FDA compliant, the PETG-900 is compatible with all types of PET waste, including wet beverage bottles, food containers, and post-industrial scrap. It also features a modular design, allowing for easy expansion as your recycling capacity grows.
