Plastic Film Squeezing & Drying Machine
The ultimate solution for dewatering washed PP/PE films and woven bags. Our squeezer drastically reduces moisture content to just 1-5%, preparing your material for high-quality pelletizing and boosting your entire line's efficiency.

The High Cost of Wet Film
- Washed film holds up to ~40% moisture, making it nearly impossible to pelletize directly.
- Traditional dryers are inefficient and still leave 20–30% residual moisture.
- Wet, fluffy material causes unstable feeding and clogs extruders, reducing output.
The Squeezer Dryer Solution
- Our machine uses mechanical pressure to efficiently squeeze water out, reaching under 5% moisture.
- It simultaneously densifies the film into compact lumps, perfect for consistent extruder feeding.
- Replaces multiple inefficient drying steps with a single, high-performance machine.
The 5-Step Working Principle
1. Feeding
Wet, washed film or woven bag scrap (10-35% moisture) is fed into the machine's hopper.
2. Squeezing
A high-torque screw forces the material through a perforated barrel, squeezing out water.
3. Dehydration
Water is expelled through the perforations, leaving the plastic with only 1-5% moisture.
4. Densification
The dry material is compacted into high-density lumps or strands by frictional heat.
5. Discharge
The final densified material is discharged, ready for direct feeding into a pelletizer.
Main Features & Advantages
Efficient Moisture Reduction
Reduces typical 10–35% moisture down to 1–5%, enabling stable downstream processing.
Density & Volume Optimization
Transforms loose film into dense lumps for faster, consistent extruder feeding.
Minimized Heat & Degradation
Low thermal load preserves polymer quality and the final value of your pellets.
Enhance Extruder Efficiency
Boosts pelletizing throughput by improving feeding stability and consistency.
Improve Pellet Quality
Drier, denser input yields higher-quality recycled pellets with fewer defects like voids.
Extrusion-Ready Output
Optimally prepares material for compactor-extruder pelletizing lines.

From Densified Lumps to New Products
High-Quality Pellet Production
The primary use of the densified lumps is as a superior, stable feedstock for producing premium-grade PE/PP pellets.
Injection Molded Products
The resulting pellets are ideal for manufacturing injection-molded items like pallets, crates, and automotive parts.
New Film & Bag Extrusion
High-quality pellets can be used to create new, non-food-grade plastic films and bags, closing the recycling loop.

What Our Clients Are Saying
We replaced our old centrifugal dryer with this squeezer and the difference is unbelievable. Our extruder output increased by nearly 30% because the feeding is so much more stable now.
Plant Manager
The final pellet quality has improved dramatically. We no longer have issues with voids or 'bubbles' from excess moisture. This machine was the missing link in our film recycling line.
Quality Control Supervisor
A single machine that does the job of a dewaterer and an agglomerator, but with lower energy consumption. The ROI was clear from the start. A very smart investment for any serious film recycler.
