    Material Transport

    Automatic feeding system with conveyor belt
    Feeding

    As standard design, plastic scraps such as film, filament, raffias conveyed into the compacting room through belt conveyor; to handle rolls’ scraps, roll hauling off device is an optional feeding method. Motor drives of conveyor belt and hauling device cooperate with ABB inverter. Feeding speed of conveyor belt or roll hauling off is fully automatic based on how full the compactor’s room is. 

    Plastic granulator metal detection system
    Metal Detectors

    Metal detector can be combined with belt conveyor, and can interlock with control system, to warn and stop the system, in case that metal is found in feeding.

    Crushing and Compacting

    Sliding Gate With Servo Motor
    Sliding Gate With Servo Motor

    It can handle both hard and soft materials. The sliding gate controls the residence time of the material in the compactor to achieve the effect of pre-drying and ensure that clean and dry material enters the barrel. Material that fails to achieve the treatment effect will not be able to enter the next process. PLC accurately controls the quantity of forced feeding materials to ensure production capacity.

    High-brightness material inspection light tube
    High-brightness Lamp Tube

    Equipped with a high-brightness lamp tube, it is designed for viewing the material situation in the compaction chamber. The lamp tube uses high-quality LED lamp beads, with uniform light and sufficient brightness. The operator can intuitively observe the distribution of materials in the compaction chamber and adjust the feeding speed and compaction degree in time to ensure the smooth progress of the granulation process. In addition, the shell of the lamp tube is made of materials with a high protection level, which effectively prevents dust and moisture from invading, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the lamp tube.

    Plastic pelletizing compaction and crushing chamber
    Compacting

    Rotary blades on the knife-disk and fixed blades on the wall cut plastic material into small flakes. Heat which caused by high speed friction pre-heats and dries the flakes and make them shrink.
    Arc-shaped plates guide the material down and into the extruder under the centrifugal force of knife disk.
    This combined process of size-reduction, pre-heating and compacting enables stable and effective feeding for small bulk density plastics.

    The cutting and compacting machine features a high-speed rotating cutter disc and a fixed blade assembly.
    The Rotatory Blades of Compactor

    The rotating blade and fixed blade cut the material into small flakes. The friction heating generated by the high-speed rotating blades will per-heat and shrink the flakes.

    Single Screw Extruder

    • Very low operation cost.
    Plate Type Filter
    Plate Type Filter 

    The Plate type filter is made in a continuous type with two filter plates. There is at least one filter working when the screen is changing.Ring-shaped heater for consistent and stable heating.

    Self-cleaning filtration system
    Self Clean Filter

    This model combines our self-developed self-cleaning filter.The new SCF self-cleaning filtration system makes non-stopping recycling extrusion, especially suitable to highly contaminated materials re-pelletizing. SCF filtration system can handle and remove up to 5% contaminates in the melt flowing, can separate the contaminates as: paper, wood, aluminum, unmelted plastic and rubbers etc.

    Pelletizing System

    Die Head

    This is the most appropriate process for the need for better melt filtration and higher production. In the first stage,two or more single screw extruders can be designed for the two-stage pelletizing production line, and then they can enter the second-stage extruder at the same time.

    FAQ

    Q1:  What types of plastic materials can the ACS-H series recycling pelletizing line process?

    A: The ACS-H series is a 3-in-1 system specifically designed for soft plastic waste such as HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, and PP. It excels at processing factory scraps like films, bags, raffia, and crushed materials. By integrating crushing, compacting, and pelletizing into a single stage, it ensures a stable and efficient output of high-quality granules from both printed and unprinted scraps.

    Q2:  What is the maximum output capacity of the ACS-H cutter compactor pelletizing system?

    A: Depending on the model and material type, the ACS-H series offers a production range from 100kg/h up to 1200kg/h. The integrated cutter compactor pre-heats and pre-shrinks the materials, allowing for higher throughput even with low-bulk density waste. For high-capacity industrial requirements, our ACS-H1600/180 model is the preferred solution for large-scale plastic recycling plants.

    Q3:  Can the ACS-H recycling line handle plastic films with high moisture content?

    A: Yes. The ACS-H series features a specialized Cutter Compactor that uses frictional heat to partially dry the materials during the compacting process. Additionally, the extruder is equipped with a high-efficiency vacuum degassing system to remove moisture and volatiles, ensuring the final pellets are uniform and bubble-free.

    Q4:  How does the ACS-H system optimize energy consumption and labor costs?

    A: The ACS-H line is equipped with an intelligent PLC control system (Siemens) that automates the entire process from feeding to pelletizing. The "one-button start/stop" feature reduces human error and labor costs. Furthermore, our energy-efficient drive systems can save up to 15-20% in energy consumption compared to traditional two-stage recycling machines.

    Q5:  How does the ACS-H ensure the quality and consistency of the recycled plastic pellets?

    A: To ensure premium pellet quality, the ACS-H uses precision pelletizing system and a high-speed centrifugal dryer. Combined with advanced melt filtration (none-stop piston type filter/plate type filter /self clean filter), the system effectively removes impurities, resulting in pellets that are uniform in size and have excellent re-usability for film blowing or injection molding.
