It is at the pelletizing stage that low-value film and rigid plastic waste becomes a transported, useful raw material.<\/p>\n        <p>However, each type of film and rigid material generation has particular processing issues that traditional recycling machinery does not efficiently resolve.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"problems-grid\">\n      <div class=\"problem-card\">\n        <h3 class=\"card-title\">The Film Problem: Moisture, Bulk, and Feeding Instability<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"card-text\">PE film, LDPE agricultural film, BOPP, and CPP scrap arrives at the pelletizing line with 8-15% moisture content and a very low bulk density. Traditional extruders feed this material inconsistently. Operators struggle with constant feed bridging, surging output, and energy loss from trying to dry out excess moisture in the extruder barrel. Simply running wet film through a traditional single screw extruder often results in energy consumption of over 0.5-0.7 kWh\/kg \u2013 without factoring in the downtime to clear jams.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"problem-card\">\n        <h3 class=\"card-title\">The Rigid Problem: Volatiles, Residual Contamination, and Pellet Quality<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"card-text\">HDPE flakes from a washing line, PP regrind from injection molding scrap, or rigid container fragments typically look clean, but still contain 1-3% residual moisture plus volatile compounds from ink and label adhesives. Inadequate degassing causes these volatile compounds to be tightly trapped as microbubbles within the pellet. Common implications include rough pellet surfaces, inconsistent melt flow index, and rejection in high-end applications such as pipe extrusion or food-grade containers.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"solution-wrapper\">\n      <div class=\"solution-image\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kitech-recycling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u4e3b\u56fe-scaled.png\" alt=\"KITECH KCP Integrated Compacting Pelletizing Machine\" class=\"machine-img\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\">\n      <\/div>\n      \n      <div class=\"solution-content\">\n        <h3 class=\"solution-title\">Our KCP Approach: Integrated Compacting Pelletizing<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"solution-text\">KITECH KCP series mitigate both issues with a system architecture that uses a compactor as a first step. Material enters a 650-1,400 L chamber where balancing the blades simultaneously cut, generate heat by friction, and compress the feedstock \u2013 driving out surface moisture before the plastic ever touches the extruder screw. Densified material then feeds directly into a 36-42:1 L\/D single screw extruder fitted with a vacuum degassing zone that can remove residual water vapor and VOCs. A melt filtration stage with up to 4 filter options can remove particulate contamination.

Higher L\/D lengths are designed into the system for fast and slow-flowing materials with more volatiles (heavily printed films, heavily contaminated HDPE flakes) because the longer residence time in the melt zone provides more effective degassing. For relatively clean PE film and minimal contamination, we configure L\/D at 36-38 to allow the most throughput for the least motor power.

In the KCP system, material is fed by way of belt conveyor, then through a &#8220;nip&#8221; roller for pre-compression of the flakes (which are preheated). Next, the densified material enters the &#8220;compactor&#8221; chamber (650-1,400 L) where, via rotating blades, plastic is cut then frictionally heat-densified and moisture is expelled. The densified plastic feeds directly into a single screw extruder (80-180 L\/D 36-42) which melts and homogenizes the resin. Water vapor and volatiles are expelled through a vacuum degassing stage. Melt filter screens extract any contaminants. Finally, a pelletizer (water ring, strand or underwater strand) process cuts the molten plastic into standard recycled pellet. The pellets are then cooled and dried for cargo.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h3 class=\"faq-question\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n        Which pelletizer system is best for HDPE recycling?\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\"><\/span>\n      <\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"faq-answer-inner\">\n          <p class=\"faq-answer-text\">In the case of HDPE rigid flakes (ie, bottle flakes from a washing line, container regrind, pipe scrap) the recommended KCP120-KCP160 with a strand pelletizer or an automatic strand pelletizer with auto self-cleaning filter is usually the best choice. HDPE has a fairly low melt flow index, so requires a relatively long residence time within the barrel to adequately plasticize, and the 36-42 L\/D ratio on the KCP can give that. Vacuum degassing is really a necessity on HDPE due to the fact that the post consumer flakes have nearly always got residual moisture and inks outgassing residual volatiles which will significantly reduce pellet quality if not extracted. HDPE film is generally operated on a KCP80-KCP120 with water-ring pelletizing.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h3 class=\"faq-question\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n        What is the advantage of a two-stage pelletizing machine?\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\"><\/span>\n      <\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"faq-answer-inner\">\n          <p class=\"faq-answer-text\">A dual stage setup adds a second extruder (100-200, L\/D 12) after the basic extruder. The second stage adds a second feed point for melt homogenization, two-stage degassing, and more stable melt pressure control into the pelletizer. This second stage matters most for high-moisture feedstock where a one-stage shear degassing isn&#8217;t practical, filled compound blends where there are extra demands on filler dispersion, and special applications with tight quality specifications for the pellet (such as food-contact use or ultra high-spec manufacturing). As standard, every KCP [model], from KCP80 to KCP180 supports optional dual stage extrusion (it is a bolt-on additive not a new machine platform).<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h3 class=\"faq-question\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n        What types of rigid plastic can this machine process?\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\"><\/span>\n      <\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"faq-answer-inner\">\n          <p class=\"faq-answer-text\">HDPE bottle flakes, container regrind, pipe scrap, PP injection runners, crate scrap, PS and ABS sheet trimmings.

A prime offender: the micro air bubbles created inside the pellet when it is cooled if there is no vacuum at the die. Running samples of undegassed HDPE pellets shows a 10-15% impact strength penalty versus samples that have been vacuum degassed. Our vacuum port is located after the primary melt zone and operates at negative pressure to pull out water vapor.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h3 class=\"faq-question\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n        How much does a plastic recycling machine cost?\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\"><\/span>\n      <\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"faq-answer-inner\">\n          <p class=\"faq-answer-text\">Pelletizing machine prices depend on configuration: capacity (the KCP family spans 150-1,300kg\/hr); pelletizing method (water ring is lowest cost, underwater is highest); type of filtration (manual plate or automatic self-cleaning); single or dual stage extruder; level of automation.

A pelletizer: strand, water ring, or underwater system, cuts. &#8220;Pelletizing machine&#8221; means the entire line.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h3 class=\"faq-question\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n        What machines are used to recycle plastic?\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\"><\/span>\n      <\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"faq-answer-inner\">\n          <p class=\"faq-answer-text\">A complete plastics recycling line usually consists of four stages: (1) size reduction equipment such as a shredder or granulator through which large bales or containers or big scrap are reduced; (2) a washing line (incl. friction washer, float-sink separation tank, centrifugal drier) in which labels, rubbish and contaminations are separated; (3) a pelletizing machine in which clean flakes are transferred to dense, commercially saleable pellets; and (4) a packaging system (silo, bagging, palletizing). The pelletizing machine is the final value-add stage where low density waste is transformed into a consistent pellet product. KITECH supplies pelletizing lines (KCP series), washing lines and shredders as separate machinery or as an integrated system from bale to pellet.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<script>\n  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n    \/\/ \u9650\u5236\u4f5c\u7528\u57df\uff0c\u53ea\u5728\u5f53\u524d\u6a21\u5757\u5185\u67e5\u627e\n    const faqContainer = document.getElementById('kitech-hdpe-faq');\n    if (!faqContainer) return;\n\n    const faqItems = faqContainer.querySelectorAll('.faq-item');\n\n    faqItems.forEach(item => {\n      const question = item.querySelector('.faq-question');\n      \n      question.addEventListener('click', () => {\n        const isActive = item.classList.contains('active');\n\n        \/\/ \u624b\u98ce\u7434\u4e92\u65a5\u903b\u8f91\uff1a\u6253\u5f00\u5f53\u524d\u9879\u65f6\uff0c\u5173\u95ed\u5176\u4ed6\u6240\u6709\u9879\uff08\u63d0\u5347\u9ad8\u7ea7\u611f\u548c\u9605\u8bfb\u4f53\u9a8c\uff09\n        faqItems.forEach(otherItem => {\n          otherItem.classList.remove('active');\n          otherItem.querySelector('.faq-question').setAttribute('aria-expanded', 'false');\n        });\n\n        \/\/ \u5982\u679c\u70b9\u51fb\u7684\u539f\u672c\u662f\u5173\u95ed\u7684\uff0c\u5219\u5c06\u5176\u6253\u5f00\n        if (!isActive) {\n          item.classList.add('active');\n          question.setAttribute('aria-expanded', 'true');\n        }\n      });\n    });\n  });\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  \/* ==========================================================================\n     1.
