Raw materials of plastic film recycling line

In daily life, we can see plastic films of various materials, such as beverage packaging films, frozen food packaging films, medical plastic films, and fresh-keeping films,PP raffia bags, cement bags. They are made of PP, PE, etc.

Among them, PE film is the most widely used plastic packaging film, which has good moisture resistance, heat shrink ability, and toughness. It is often used in food, clothing, fertilizers, industrial products, packaging materials, and agricultural films.

PP film has the characteristics of high strength, good heat resistance, and good electrical insulation properties. Commonly used in the outer packing bags of cigarettes, medicines, frozen foods, and woven bags.

Plastic film pelletizing process and workflow

The processing methods of plastic films of different materials are slightly different, but most of them need the following steps.

First of all, the collected plastic films need to be crushed into small pieces by a plastic crusher machine, and then they will be washed thoroughly in a washing tank. After that, the wet plastic films will be lifted to a plastic granulator machine, they will be melted as a mushy shape, hot long strips will be extruded from the die head of the plastic granulator machine. Next, those long strips will be cooled in a cold water sink, the cold water can decrease the temperature and make the plastic hard. The last step is cutting plastic strands into small pellets evenly with a plastic granule cutter. Finally, these recycled pellets will be stored in a storage bin
