What Is a Plastic Recycling Machine?
An integrated, modular system that converts sorted plastic waste into clean flakes or pellets through staged size‑reduction, washing, drying and pelletizing.
A plastic recycling machine (often configured as a full line) combines multiple modules to process post‑consumer or post‑industrial plastics. Typical lines include automated conveying, shredding or granulation, intensive washing with separation, dewatering and thermal drying, and finally extrusion with filtration, degassing and pellet cutting. The result is high‑purity flakes or uniform pellets that are ready for reuse in manufacturing.
Our systems are designed to be modular and scalable, so you can start with essentials and expand capacity or capabilities as your material mix and market evolve.
Core Modules
- Sorting & pre‑classification
- Size reduction (shredder/granulator)
- Washing & separation (friction, float‑sink, hot wash)
- Dewatering & thermal drying
- Extrusion, filtration, degassing & pelletizing
Why Choose Our Integrated Lines
Clear advantages from intake to finished pellets: higher uptime, lower handling and consistent product.
Reliable Throughput
Line‑level orchestration keeps material moving smoothly and maximizes usable output.
Modular & Scalable
Start with essentials and expand as you grow — each module tuned to your feedstock.
Turnkey Delivery
From design to installation, commissioning and operator training — one accountable team.
Consistent Pellet Quality
Multi‑stage purification, fine filtration and controlled degassing help stabilize color and MFI.
From Pain Points to Results
Typical challenges operators face — and how the line converts them into consistent output and lower costs.
How It Works
End‑to‑end process engineered to deliver clean, dry flakes and uniform pellets.
Sorting & Separation
Remove metals, glass, paper and separate by polymer/color for higher purity. View equipment.
Size Reduction
Shredders and granulators create uniform flakes, improving downstream cleaning efficiency. View machines.
Washing & Cleaning
Friction washers, float‑sink and hot wash remove labels, glue and residues. View systems.
Dewatering & Drying
Centrifugal dewatering and thermal drying reach moisture targets for extrusion. View dryers.
Melting & Pelletizing
Extrusion with filtration, degassing and strand cutting for uniform, market‑ready pellets. See pelletizers.
Key Components
Belt Conveyor
Continuous, enclosed material transfer between modules to reduce spillage, dust and manual handling.
Trommel Screen (Sorting)
Removes large contaminants and pre‑classifies material by size to stabilize downstream flow and improve purity.
Plastic Granulator
High‑throughput size reduction producing uniform flakes to boost washing efficiency and lower energy per ton.
Friction Washer & Washing System
Friction cleaning, float‑sink separation and hot wash remove labels, glue and organics for high‑purity flakes.
Dewatering Centrifuge & Dryers
Mechanical dewatering followed by thermal drying to reach moisture targets for extrusion and pelletizing.
Pelletizing Line (Cutter‑Compactor)
Integrated cutter‑compactor, filtration and degassing deliver uniform pellets with stable MFI and color.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the line be customized for my specific type of plastic waste?
Absolutely. Our core strength is modular design. We will analyze your raw materials (e.g., highly contaminated agricultural film vs. clean factory scraps) and customize each module—from the type of shredder to the intensity of the washing phase—to achieve the best results.
What is involved in a "turnkey" project?
A turnkey project means we handle everything for you. This includes consultation, custom plant layout, manufacturing, shipping, on-site installation, commissioning, and comprehensive training for your operational team.
What is the typical ROI for a complete plastic recycling line?
The Return on Investment (ROI) depends on factors like local cost of plastic waste, labor costs, and the market price for recycled pellets. Many of our clients achieve ROI within 18-36 months. We can provide a detailed ROI analysis based on your specific situation.
What are the lead time and installation timeline?
Manufacturing usually takes 6–12 weeks based on configuration. Installation and commissioning typically require 1–2 weeks for compact lines and 3–6 weeks for larger turnkey projects, including on‑site training.
Are you the manufacturer or a trading company?
We are the original manufacturer based in China with ISO 9001 and CE compliance. Factory visits by appointment are welcome.
Do you ship worldwide? Do you install in India/Sri Lanka?
Yes. We export to 30+ countries and provide on‑site installation, commissioning and operator training in India and Sri Lanka.
Do you have reference plants near me?
Yes. We can share nearby installations and arrange site visits with customer approval.
How much does a plastic recycling machine cost?
Pricing depends on throughput, contamination level, washing intensity, filtration/degassing, automation and material type. Send your material and capacity to receive a tailored quote within 24 hours.
What is the plastic recycling machine price in India?
Final price depends on configuration plus freight, duties and GST. We quote in USD/INR and can provide CIF or DDP to major ports/cities on request.
Where is your factory located? Can I visit?
Our factory is located in China. Factory and test‑line visits can be scheduled in advance.
What certifications do your machines meet?
CE compliant with ISO 9001 quality management system.
