As the global community continues to pursue sustainable development, the recycling of plastic waste has become a vital part of transitioning to a circular economy. Among various plastic waste types, polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) film waste pose the greatest challenge due to their thinness, fragility, and large volume. These films are widely used in agriculture, industrial packaging, and household sectors, contributing to high volumes of non-degradable waste. Traditional recycling methods are inefficient and often result in poor-quality recycled materials. Recognizing this gap, Famous Machinery has developed the PP/PE Film Waste Plastic Pelletizing Line, a fully automated, energy-efficient solution designed specifically to handle the complexities of thin film waste recycling. This system effectively transforms contaminated or washed film materials into high-quality recycled pellets, ready for reuse in a variety of applications. For those interested in comprehensive recycling systems, we also offer a complete range of plastic pelletizing lines tailored for different plastic types and capacities.
Famous Machinery’s PP/PE pelletizing line integrates advanced technology across every stage—from feeding and cleaning to extrusion and pelletizing. The system includes pre-treatment shredders, high-speed friction washers, centrifugal dewatering units, and hot-air dryers to reduce film moisture content below 5%. The extrusion section is available with either single or twin-screw extruders, depending on the input material and desired throughput. The line also features a customizable pelletizing system (water ring, strand, or underwater pelletizing) to produce uniform and dense granules. One of its key advantages is intelligent automation through PLC and HMI controls, allowing real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, motor speed, and filtration status. Energy-saving motors, closed-loop water systems, and heat recovery units make the line significantly more efficient than traditional setups—consuming up to 20% less energy. These pellets are ideal for applications such as film blowing pelletizing lines, injection molding, or extrusion molding. In short, Famous Machinery’s PP/PE line not only meets production needs but also aligns with global sustainability goals, positioning itself as a premier choice in the modern recycling industry.
Understanding that different customers have different production scales and plant layouts, Famous Machinery offers a range of models in the PP/PE Film Waste Pelletizing Line. These include the ZL-200, ZL-300, ZL-500, and ZL-800, with throughput capacities ranging from 200 kg/h to 800 kg/h. Power consumption varies from 75 kW to 160 kW, and the footprint ranges from 120 m² to 250 m². The line supports modular customization, such as optional degassing systems for volatile removal, automatic screen changers for uninterrupted operation, and auto-feeders tailored to specific material properties. Additionally, the system can be integrated with upstream equipment like conveyor feeding systems or downstream components like bagging and weighing units, forming a complete production ecosystem. For specialized needs, OEM customization is available—allowing clients to configure their pelletizing line according to the space, power supply, and material type they’re working with. The ability to scale and modify the line according to operational needs ensures that your investment will grow with your business, making it ideal for both small recyclers and large-scale processing facilities.
The application scope of the PP/PE Film Waste Pelletizing Line extends far beyond basic recycling—it plays a pivotal role in closing the loop of the plastics economy. In agriculture, it is ideal for recycling greenhouse films, mulch films, and irrigation pipe liners. In the industrial sector, it handles pallet wrap, packaging film, and stretch films. Municipal solid waste systems also benefit by converting post-consumer plastic films into high-grade pellets. Particularly for agricultural regions and rural collection stations, the ability to install localized recycling solutions greatly reduces transportation costs and increases overall recovery rates. When paired with PE film washing lines, the entire process—from dirty film to reusable pellet—is integrated under one roof. This not only boosts operational efficiency but also contributes significantly to solving the "white pollution" problem caused by single-use plastics. For environmental companies, film processors, and regional recycling hubs, this line provides the technological foundation for a sustainable and profitable recycling business model, playing a direct role in advancing national and international climate targets.
