Overview of Agglomerator Machine

This modular technical document focuses on plastic agglomerators, core equipment for compacting loose plastic films/flakes into dense pellets, optimized for plastic recycling and pre-processing lines.
Core Positioning: Definition, function and application scope of plastic agglomerators
 
  • Equipment Nature: A thermal-mechanical device that compacts loose plastic films, flakes or scraps into dense, uniform pellets (agglomerates) via heat, friction and pressure; eliminates air gaps, reduces volume by 70–90%, and facilitates subsequent extrusion/pelletizing.
  • Applicable Materials: PP/PE/LDPE/HDPE plastic films, bags, non-woven fabrics, foam scraps, recycled plastic flakes (moisture content ≤5%).
  • Core Processes: Material feeding → friction heating (120–160°C) → melting & agglomeration → cooling shaping → discharge.
  • Core Value: Reduces plastic volume by 70–90% for easy storage/transport; improves feeding efficiency of downstream extruders by 40%; lowers production costs.
  • Applicable Enterprises: Plastic recycling plants, film processing factories, pelletizing production lines, waste plastic treatment centers.

Core Product Portfolio & Application Scenarios

Agglomerator Machine For Soft PP PE films

The Agglomerator Machine for soft PP/PE films is a key pre-processing unit in plastic recycling lines, designed to handle low-density materials like shopping bags, shrink wrap, and agricultural films. It uses high-speed rotating blades to generate frictional heat, softening the plastic into a semi-molten state, then instantly cools it with a fine water mist to form dense, dry, free-flowing agglomerates. This dramatically increases bulk density, improves feeding stability for extruders, and enhances overall pelletizing efficiency. Built with wear-resistant components and automatic temperature control, it ensures reliable, continuous operation with minimal maintenance.

Densifier Machine For Plastic films

The Densifier Machine for Plastic Films is engineered to process low-bulk-density thermoplastic films—such as PE, PP, and BOPP—by converting fluffy or crumpled scrap into compact, free-flowing pellets. Using a combination of mechanical friction, controlled heat, and rapid cooling (often via water spray), it increases material density by 5–10 times without full melting, preserving polymer integrity. This densification significantly reduces storage and transportation costs while improving feeding consistency in downstream extrusion or pelletizing lines. Ideal for film recyclers and bag manufacturers, the machine features robust construction, automatic operation, and low energy consumption for efficient, continuous processing.
