Wanrooe Plastic Recycling Pelletizer Range

Wanrooe designs and manufactures plastic pelletizers configured to each customer’s material, capacity, and output requirements. Our range covers:

Feed systems — Hopper feeding, force feeder, shredder-integrated

Cooling methods — Air-cooling, water-cooling

Cutting systems — Die-face cutting, water-ring cutting, noodle (strand) cutting

Extrusion stages — Single-stage and two-stage configurations

Cutting System Options

Noodle (strand) cutting — Molten plastic extrudes into strands, cools in a water bath, then cuts into cylindrical pellets. Simple, reliable, and suited to heat-sensitive materials.

Water-ring cutting — Molten plastic exits the die directly into a rotating water-ring chamber where blades cut hot pellets. Faster, more compact, and produces rounder, more uniform pellets. Preferred for high-output lines and materials that tolerate direct water contact.

Two-Stage Pelletizer for Printed Film

Our two-stage system is purpose-built for PE and PP flexible packaging — printed or plain. The first stage degasses and filters heavily printed or moist material; the second stage homogenizes and builds pressure for cutting. Key features:

Hopper feeding — Compact layout, lower energy use, high pellet quality

Two-stage extrusion — Twin extruders with dual filtration handle heavy ink and residual moisture that would jam single-stage machines

Water-ring cutting — Stable, uniform pellet shape with consistent dimensions

Capacity and Feeding Options

Standard models range from 80 to 1,000 kg/h. A force feeder is available for light, bulky materials like crushed film or foam. The auger compacts fluffy feedstock into the extruder throat, preventing bridging and ensuring consistent throughput.

What It Processes

Primary materials: HDPE, LDPE, PP film and regrind
Ideal for:

Injection molding in-house waste (sprues, runners, rejects) — clean, uncontaminated, ready for direct recycling

Washed post-consumer flakes and scrap

Packaging film: commercial bags, garbage bags, agricultural film, food packaging, shrink and stretch film

Woven products: PP woven bags, jumbo bags, tapes, yarns

Also handles: PS sheet, PE/PS foam, PE netting, EVA, PP/PU blends

Applicable material for Plastic pelletizer:
Heavily printed HDPE/LDPE film
Heavily printed PP waste bag
Hard plastic regrind
Plastic granules
Injection molding waste

Plastic pelletizer produces high quality reusable pellets. The produced pellets from Plastic pelletizer can be put directly back to the production line, mostly blown film or pipe extrusion processes.

FAQ: Plastic Recycling Pelletizer

When do I need a two-stage pelletizer vs. single stage?

Two-stage is essential for heavily printed film, moist material, or high-contamination feedstock. The first stage filters and degasses; the second stage builds clean, consistent melt pressure. Single stage works for clean, dry in-house scrap.

Can I run both film and rigid regrind on the same machine?

Yes, but not optimally. Film requires lower compression screws and force feeding; rigid regrind needs higher torque and different screen packs. If your mix varies, specify a versatile screw design or plan for quick-change components.

What determines pellet quality?

Melt temperature stability, filtration fineness, and cutting consistency. Variation in any of these produces oval pellets, tails, or dust — all of which affect downstream processing and selling price.
