Single Screw Plastic Film Recycling Machine
Product Overview
The Single Screw Plastic Film Recycling Machine is purpose-built for processing film-type plastic waste such as PE, BOPP, agricultural films, and printed films. Designed for clean or pre-washed input, this compact 3-in-1 unit integrates shredding, single-screw extrusion, and die-face cutting to deliver stable performance and space-saving efficiency—ideal for medium- to high-output operations. Its die-face pelletizing system replaces traditional strand cutting and water tank cooling, simplifying operation while reducing labor and maintenance. To further enhance processing efficiency and safety, optional modules such as vacuum pumps, metal detectors, and temperature-controlled water-cooling systems are available.
Key Features
-
Combines shredding, extrusion, and pelletizing into a single compact unit, minimizing space usage and operational complexity.
-
L/D ratio and screw configuration can be tailored to match material types and processing requirements.
-
Replaces strand cutting and water tanks, reducing floor space needs and eliminating water handling.
-
Fast-switch cutter and die design minimizes downtime and improves production flexibility.
-
Ensures consistent pellet quality and enhances processing stability, even for moisture- or ink-contaminated materials.
-
Supports integration with vacuum pumps (for degassing), metal detectors (for equipment protection), and water-cooling units (for process temperature control).
-
Delivers efficient and stable cooling for downstream pelletizing, even under high throughput.
-
Compatible with upstream washing lines and automatic feeding systems to support complete recycling workflows.
Applications
-
Recycling of film-type plastics such as PE, BOPP, agricultural films, and printed films
-
Processing of washed materials with residual moisture or ink
-
Pellet production for reuse in film blowing, injection molding, and profile extrusion

FAQ
This machine is specifically optimized for film-type plastic waste such as PE, BOPP, agricultural films, and printed films.
Yes. The system includes preheating, degassing, and compounding functions to ensure stable processing of contaminated or high-moisture input.
The machine uses a die-face cutting system that eliminates the need for strand cutting and water troughs, reducing labor and saving space.
Yes. Pellet size is adjustable, and the cutter and die can be quickly changed to minimize downtime during product transitions.
Dual degassing and quick-change screens are included. However, automatic pressure monitoring is not supported in this model.
-
Vacuum Pump: Removes moisture and volatile impurities from input material
-
Metal Detector: Prevents metal particles from damaging internal components
-
Water Cooling System: Maintains consistent temperatures during high-output runs
Yes, the machine can be integrated with washing lines and automatic feeding systems to form a complete recycling line.
Output ranges from 200 to 1500 kg/hr, depending on the cleanliness, moisture, and contamination level of the input materials.
