    Catalog Download    

    The ASE series single screw extruder used for plastic recycling is a high-performance specialized system designed for the recycling and re granulation of rigid waste plastics. This system integrates plasticization, extrusion, and granulation into one step, making it an ideal choice for processing PE, PP, ABS, PS, HIPS, and PC crushed recycled materials and flakes.

    To ensure maximum efficiency and purity, the ASE line can be integrated with a waste plastic pre-treatment system, allowing for superior cleaning and sorting before the extrusion process. This combination guarantees that the plastic pelletizing machine produces consistent, high-quality melt-filtered pellets. 

    The final pellets produced by the ASE single screw extruder for plastic recycling with premium quality and can be directly feed into production lines for film blowing, pipe extrusion, and plastic injection molding. Whether you are looking for a separate rigid plastic pelletizing machine or a complete waste plastic pre-treatment system, ACERETECH can provide the technology to turn plastic waste into high-value raw materials.

    FAQ

    A: The ASE series is specifically designed for processing pre-crushed rigid plastics, such as HDPE/PP/ABS/PS flakes, washed PET bottle flakes, and reground factory scraps. Unlike 3-in-1 systems, the ASE series features a specialized force-feeding or hopper-feeding system that ensures a steady intake of crushed materials, making it the ideal choice for recycling plants that handle pre-processed hard plastics.

    A: Every ASE extruder features a customized L/D ratio and screw geometry based on the specific polymer being recycled. We offer specialized screw designs for diverse materials (e.g., high-torque for ABS or venting-optimized for PE). This precision engineering ensures excellent homogenization and melt stability, resulting in uniform, high-density pellets that retain the original physical properties of the plastic.

    A: Yes. The ASE series can be configured with single or double vacuum degassing ports to effectively remove moisture, air, and low-molecular-weight volatiles from the melt. Combined with a high-performance hydraulic screen changer, it ensures that even slightly contaminated regrinds are converted into clean, bubble-free pellets suitable for high-end injection molding or extrusion.

    A: Absolutely. The ASE series is known for its low energy consumption and easy maintenance. Compared to more complex systems, the ASE offers a higher Return on Investment (ROI) for processing clean regrinds. Its simplified mechanical structure reduces the need for frequent spare parts replacement, and the intuitive control system lowers the requirement for highly skilled operators, significantly reducing your overall OPEX.

    A: Depending on your material's MFI (Melt Flow Index) and your production needs, the ASE series can be equipped with either a water-ring pelletizing system or a strand pelletizing system. Water-ring is excellent for high-automation and consistent pellet shape, while strand pelletizing is often preferred for specific rigid materials or smaller production batches. Our engineers will recommend the best configuration for your specific application.
