Plastic Pelletizers & Granulating Lines
for Every Recycled Material
From PE/PP film and rigid flakes to PET, EPS foam, and meltblown nonwovens — our pelletizing lines convert your washed, sorted waste into dense, uniform, high-value pellets ready for re-manufacturing.
One Platform. Every Recyclable Plastic.
Purpose-built lines for PE, PP, PET, EPS, Meltblown & more
Not all plastics pelletize the same way. Low-density PE/PP film needs a cutter-compactor to compact before extrusion. PET flakes require precise drying and single-screw processing to prevent IV loss. EPS foam must be densified before it can be extruded. Meltblown nonwovens demand controlled temperature to preserve melt flow index. That is why we engineer a dedicated line for each material type — not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you need a complete system from shredding and washing through to pelletizing, see our full recycling line solutions.
From Low-Value Waste to Premium-Grade Pellets
Produce High-Quality Pellets
Advanced triple-degassing and filtration systems remove volatiles, inks, and moisture — producing pure, consistent, high-value pellets across all material types.
30–50% Higher Resale Value
Uniform pellets command a significant market premium over washed flakes or film, and reduce transport costs through higher bulk density.
CE-Certified, Turnkey Lines
Every line ships CE-certified and ISO 9001-compliant, complete with installation, commissioning, and operator training worldwide.
Overcome the Challenges of Plastic Recycling
Common Recycling Hurdles
- Low market value and high transport costs for bulky, washed plastic flakes and films.
- Inconsistent material quality and contamination (ink, moisture) lead to rejected batches.
- Difficulty processing low-density or heavily printed materials in standard extruders.
The Integrated Pelletizer Solution
- Create dense, valuable pellets that are in high demand and cheaper to transport and handle.
- Advanced degassing and filtering ensures a pure, consistent final product ready for manufacturing.
- An integrated cutter-compactor pre-processes fluffy and printed film for stable output.
How a Plastic Pelletizing Line Works
Feeding & Compacting
Plastic scrap is fed into the cutter-compactor, which cuts, mixes, and densifies the material for extrusion.
Extrusion & Degassing
Material is melted in the extruder, while triple vacuum zones remove volatiles, ink, and moisture.
Filtration & Pelletizing
Molten plastic is filtered and then cut into uniform pellets by a water-ring pelletizing system.
Drying & Storage
Pellets are rapidly dewatered and dried before being pneumatically conveyed to a product silo.

Selling Flakes vs. Selling Pellets
Washed Flakes / Film
Typically 30–50% lower per tonne than equivalent-grade pellets. Buyers apply a heavy discount for handling and processing risk.
- Low bulk density (~50–150 kg/m³)
- High freight cost per tonne
- Limited to granulators only
Recycled Pellets / Granules
Commands a 30–50% premium per tonne. Consistent quality and low contamination make them directly re-manufacturable.
- High bulk density (~500–600 kg/m³)
- ~70% lower freight cost vs. film
- Global shipping-ready
- Blow molding plants
- Injection molders
- Film extruders worldwide

What Our Clients Are Saying
Upgrading from selling flakes to pellets has transformed our business. This line produces exceptionally high-quality pellets that fetch a premium price. The investment paid off much faster than we anticipated.
Recycling Plant Owner — United States
The ability to process our heavily printed post-industrial film waste was a game-changer. The degassing system works flawlessly, and the pellet quality is consistently excellent. Our rejection rate dropped from ~12% to under 2%.
Production Manager — Germany
We were impressed by how automated the entire line is. The cutter-compactor handles fluffy film without any issues, and the system runs smoothly with minimal operator oversight. ROI was achieved within 14 months.
