Plastic granules manufacturing plant recently installed in Zambia has been successfully put into operation, processing 300kg of HDPE crushed material per batch. The customer shared on-site feedback videos and raw material photos, confirming stable performance and smooth production.
This project demonstrates how a complete recycling solution can help local businesses convert HDPE waste into reusable plastic granules efficiently and consistently.
Project Background: HDPE Recycling in Zambia
Our customer in Zambia focuses on recycling HDPE plastic waste. The raw material mainly consists of HDPE crushed flakes collected from post-consumer and industrial plastic products.
Customer raw material (HDPE crushed flakes): (Customer provided original material photos showing clean blue and white HDPE crushed pieces before washing and pelletizing.)
The target processing capacity is approximately 300kg per production cycle, with stable output granules suitable for further plastic product manufacturing.
Complete Plastic Granules Manufacturing Plant Configuration
Based on the customer’s raw material condition and capacity requirement, we provided a complete plastic granules manufacturing plant including:
1. Plastic Washing and Drying System
Before pelletizing, HDPE crushed material must be properly cleaned and dried to ensure granule quality.
Main functions:
- Remove dirt, sand, and surface contaminants
- Reduce moisture content
- Improve final pellet appearance and strength
The washing and drying unit ensures that the material entering the granulator is clean and suitable for stable extrusion.
2. Plastic Pelletizing Machine
The pelletizing machine is the core equipment of the plastic pelletizing line.
Key features:
- Suitable for HDPE reprocessing
- Stable heating and plasticizing performance
- Continuous extrusion operation
- Designed for medium-scale recycling capacity
The machine melts and extrudes the cleaned HDPE flakes into plastic strands.
3. Cooling Water Tank
After extrusion, the plastic strands enter the cooling water tank.
Functions:
- Rapid cooling and shaping of plastic strands
- Maintain uniform diameter
- Prepare strands for cutting
The cooling system ensures dimensional stability before pellet cutting.
4. Pellet Cutting Machine
The cooled plastic strips are then fed into the pellet cutting machine.
Main advantages:
- Uniform pellet size
- Adjustable cutting length
- Stable and continuous operation
The final product is evenly sized HDPE plastic granules ready for packaging or resale.
On-Site Operation Feedback from Zambia
After installation and commissioning, the plastic granules manufacturing plant has been running smoothly. The customer reported:
- Stable production at around 300kg capacity
- Uniform granule size
- Reliable mechanical performance
- Easy operation and maintenance
The feedback video shows continuous strand extrusion, smooth cooling, and consistent pellet cutting results.
