From Recycled Material to Pellets

Turn Clean Plastic Feedstock
Into Reusable Pellets

A stable pelletizing system controls feeding, melting, filtration, degassing and pellet formation to produce consistent recycled granules for downstream manufacturing.

Process Flow

A Controlled Process From Feeding
to Finished Pellets

Each stage helps stabilize material flow, remove unwanted contamination and create consistent recycled granules.

FeedCompactMeltFilterDegasPelletizeCollect
  1. 01

    Material Feeding

    Prepared plastic material is introduced into the pelletizing system at a controlled rate.

  2. 02

    Compaction / Force Feeding

    Low-bulk-density film and soft plastics are compacted or force-fed to maintain stable extrusion.

  3. 03

    Extrusion & Melting

    The material is heated, mixed and converted into a stable polymer melt inside the extruder.

  4. 04

    Melt Filtration

    Screens or filtration systems remove remaining solid contamination from the polymer melt.

  5. 05

    Degassing

    Moisture and volatile gases are removed to support melt stability and pellet quality.

  6. 06

    Pellet Cutting

    The filtered polymer melt is cut into consistent recycled plastic pellets.

  7. 07

    Cooling & Collection

    Finished pellets are cooled and collected for storage, packaging or downstream production.

Feeding and extrusion configuration varies with feedstock form, bulk density, moisture and contamination.

Pelletizing Configuration

Match the Pelletizing System
to Your Feedstock

Pelletizing performance depends on more than output capacity. Material form, bulk density, moisture and contamination all influence the correct configuration.

CapacityTypical UseConfiguration
150–300 kg/hSmaller recycling operationsCompact extrusion system
300–500 kg/hCommercial recycled material productionStandard pelletizing line
500–800 kg/hHigher-volume operationsEnhanced feeding + filtration
800–1,500+ kg/hIndustrial recycling plantsCustomized heavy-duty configuration

Material FormLightweight film usually needs stronger compaction or force-feeding, while rigid HDPE / PP flakes use a different feeding and extrusion configuration.

Melt FiltrationFeedstock with more residual contamination may require a more robust melt filtration configuration; filtration performance depends on the material and setup.

Moisture ControlProper upstream dewatering and degassing help improve extrusion stability and final pellet consistency.
