In early 2025, ACERETECH customized a PA66 nylon fiber recycling, shredding, and pelletizing production line for a leading Korean customer specializing in polymer material recycling. After months of production, installation, commissioning, and optimization, the equipment successfully entered stable operation in August 2025. Customer feedback stated that the entire system operated stably, with excellent noise control and fully met production expectations. The resulting PA66 pellets were highly pure, and the workshop environment was clean and tidy. This successful transformation from waste nylon fiber to high-quality recycled plastic pellets has provided strong impetus for the customer's sustainable development.
1. Project Background: The Korean Customer's Challenges and ACERETECH's Customized Solution
With the growing global emphasis on the circular economy and sustainable development, the recycling and reuse of high-performance engineering plastics such as PA66 (nylon 66) has become an industry focus. PA66 nylon fiber, due to its high strength and high-temperature resistance, is widely used in automotive, industrial textiles, and other fields. However, its recycling is challenging and requires highly specialized equipment.
In early 2025, a Korean customer faced the challenge of recycling PA66 nylon fiber. They required a complete production line capable of efficiently processing large quantities of fibrous material and converting it into pure, recyclable plastic pellets. After rigorously screening multiple global suppliers, the customer ultimately chose ACERETECH, drawn to our extensive technical expertise in plastics recycling, mature product lines, and ability to provide one-stop, customized solutions.
Based on the customer's specific needs, the ACERETECH technical team quickly tailored a PA66 nylon fiber recycling system that integrates shredding and pelletizing, ensuring precision and efficiency in every step from feeding to pelletizing.
2. Core Equipment Analysis: Efficiency and Stability Achieve Superior Quality
The production line delivered to the Korean customer's factory consists of two core pieces of equipment: a highly efficient shredding system for fiber material pretreatment and an advanced pelletizing system for melt filtration and forming.
2.1 PA66 Nylon Fiber Shredding System: Expert in Flexible Material Handling
PA66 nylon fiber is fluffy and easily tangled, placing special demands on the shredding equipment's tool design and handling capabilities. ACERETECH employs a "horizontal cutter + disc shredder" combination** to achieve perfect pre-processing of fibrous materials.
* Horizontal cutter: As a pre-processing unit, it initially cuts and homogenizes the fluffy PA66 fibers, achieving more uniform size. This facilitates efficient grabbing and shredding by the disc shredder, effectively preventing tangling and clogging.
* Disc shredder: This is the core equipment for fiber shredding. Equipped with special wear-resistant blades and an optimized blade shaft structure, it powerfully tears and cuts PA66 fibers, quickly converting them into uniformly sized fragments. This powerful equipment delivers high processing efficiency, providing a stable and high-quality raw material for subsequent melt extrusion.
Advantages Summary: This combined solution perfectly addresses the difficult handling of PA66 fibers, ensuring stable feed and laying a solid foundation for the smooth operation of the entire production line.

2.2 PA66 Nylon Fiber Pelletizing System: ACS-PRO Series, Guaranteeing Pure Pellets
The key to transforming shredded PA66 flakes into high-quality recycled pellets lies in impurity removal and precise shaping during the melting process. ACERETECH selected its flagship product, the ACS-PRO Series Pelletizing Line.
This equipment integrates efficient melting, powerful degassing, precision filtration, and pelletizing, making it an ideal choice for producing high-quality engineering plastic pellets.
* Excellent Degassing and Filtration: The ACS-PRO system generates a powerful vacuum during the melting process, effectively removing moisture and volatile gases from the PA66 melt, ensuring bubble-free, high-purity pellets. Furthermore, its high-precision filter thoroughly removes minute impurities and unmelted matter from the melt, ensuring the purity of the final product. * Stable Pellet Output: After melting and filtering, the PA66 melt is uniformly cut into standard cylindrical pellets using precision die plates and cutters. The entire process is highly automated, resulting in uniform pellet size and smooth surface, fully meeting the customer's high standards for high-quality recycled pellets.
Advantage Summary: The ACS-PRO production line not only maintains stable output but also significantly increases the added value of recycled PA66 pellets, enabling their reuse in high-end manufacturing applications.

3. Customer Feedback: Exceeding Expectations, a Trustworthy Partner
After intensive installation and commissioning, the ACERETECH equipment officially entered production at the customer's factory in South Korea in August 2025. After a period of actual operation, the customer gave it high praise, focusing on the following key points:
* Stable and Reliable Operation: The equipment operated continuously without any problems, with stable performance and an extremely low failure rate, ensuring the customer's production plan.
* Meet-the-Target Output and High Efficiency: The actual output fully met the customer's contracted target, and production efficiency exceeded expectations, helping the customer quickly achieve a return on investment. * Low Noise, Environmentally Friendly: The equipment's operating noise is effectively controlled, meeting the environmental and humane requirements of modern factories. The workshop environment is clean and dust-free.
* Pure, High-Quality Particles: The resulting PA66 pellets are highly pure, free of black specks and impurities, uniform in size, and stable in performance, earning unanimous approval from the customer's downstream application department.
The customer commented, "Choosing ACERETECH was a wise decision. From initial communication and solution design to equipment delivery, installation, and commissioning, their professional team provided us with exceptional support. This equipment not only solved our production challenges but also delivered substantial economic benefits through its outstanding performance."
