As the global demand for recycled plastics continues to grow, recycling companies are facing increasingly complex material challenges.
Different waste streams, including films, fibers, non-woven fabrics, and rigid plastic flakes, often come with significant variations in:
Material density and feeding behavior
Moisture and contamination levels
Melting characteristics
Production stability requirements
For modern recycling operations, achieving consistent pellet quality requires more than extrusion capacity. It requires precise coordination between material preparation, feeding, extrusion, filtration, and pelletizing processes.
Intelligent Process Control for Stable Recycling Performance
Over years of industrial application and continuous improvement, the ACERETECH ACS Cutting & Compaction Pelletizing System has established itself as a versatile recycling platform for challenging plastic waste streams.
Designed to process a wide range of materials — from lightweight films and fibers to non-woven fabrics and rigid plastic flakes — the ACS system integrates intelligent process coordination and closed-loop control to maintain stable feeding, extrusion conditions, and pellet quality.
At the core of the system is a pressure-oriented control strategy:
Stable melt pressure is the foundation of stable pellet production.
The PLC system continuously monitors key operating conditions and coordinates multiple process stages:
Extrusion Pressure Control
Real-time monitoring of melt pressure before filtration allows automatic adjustment of screw speed, maintaining stable plasticization and extrusion performance.
Intelligent Feeding Coordination
A servo-controlled slide gate between the cutter-compactor and extruder adjusts material flow according to extrusion load conditions, ensuring balanced and consistent feeding.
Compaction Self-Stabilization
The cutter-compactor automatically adjusts operating speed and cooling conditions according to material temperature changes, maintaining optimal material preparation before extrusion.
Pelletizing Synchronization
The pelletizing system dynamically adjusts cutting speed according to die-head pressure variations, supporting consistent pellet dimensions and stable product quality.
Through continuous coordination of each process stage, the ACS system helps customers achieve reliable production performance even when processing challenging recycled materials.
One Recycling Platform, Multiple Material Applications
The ACS Cutting & Compaction Pelletizing System is widely applicable for various plastic recycling scenarios, including:
✓ PP/PE Film Waste
✓ BOPP Film
✓ PP Non-Woven Fabric
✓ Fiber Waste
✓ Industrial Plastic Scrap
✓ Rigid Plastic Flakes
Whether processing lightweight flexible materials or irregular crushed plastics, the ACS system provides stable feeding, efficient plasticization, and consistent pellet production.
Application Case: PP Non-Woven Waste Recycling
A practical example comes from a PP non-woven recycling project in Kunshan, China.
