Frequently
Asked Questions
What are your filtration systems and output, and how many kilograms of granulate per hour can be achieved?
Our regranulation lines with an agglomerator are equipped with piston, plate or self-cleaning filters, depending on the material contamination level. Their efficiency depends on the configuration and the type of processed material: 80-150 kg/g in smaller lines, up to 1500-1800 kg/h in industrial models.
What is the difference between a line with a feed hopper and one with an agglomerator?
A line with a feed hopper is used for clean and bulk materials (e.g., regrinds), whereas an agglomerator feeds light and fluffy materials, such as foils or non-woven fabrics, in a stable way. Agglomerators compact and provide initial plasticisation of materials, facilitating their further processing.
What are the feed options: conveyor belt, unwinder, shredder?
Our offer includes different feed options: conveyor belts for regrinds, unwinders for foil rolls, and shredders for rigid waste. Everything depends on the type and form of waste.
Do you have any references, and are there any companies which could provide information on the use of your solutions?
Yes, we have references from installing our lines in Poland and abroad. Upon request, we can provide contact data to companies that use our solutions and can confirm their quality and reliability.
In which situation is an agglomerator preferred over a feed hopper?
An agglomerator is recommended when processing light, fluffy or moist waste such as LDPE and LLDPE foils, stretch wraps, as well as non-woven fabrics and agricultural foil. It compacts processed materials, partially removes moisture, and ensures stable feeding to an extruder, which eliminates bridging and improves the line’s output.
What is the delivery time?
Precise production and delivery dates are determined individually after the machine specifications have been approved. Please contact our technical and sales departments to estimate the lead time.
What is the efficiency and configuration of such a line?
Standard efficiency levels are approx. 80-1500+ kg/h, depending on the type of plastics and filtration. Standard configuration includes: feeding → compactor/agglomerator → extruder with a 1-3 zone degassing system (also vacuum) → filtration (piston/plate/self-cleaning) → pelletising (strand/ring hot-face/underwater) → drying and collection of granulate.
Is there any protection against foreign objects in the plasticising system, and if yes, what type is it?
Yes, our lines feature multi-stage protection against foreign objects. These include metal separators in the feeding zone, sensors monitoring the screw torque, and filters that capture contaminants. They minimise the risk of damaging the screw and the cylinder.
How does a compactor/agglomerator work and what types of materials is it recommended for?
Compactor/agglomerator compacts light and fluffy materials, such as foils or non-woven fabrics, by increasing their temperature with heat generated by friction, providing initial plasticisation. As a result, the materials have lower moisture, higher density, and are fed to an extruder in a stable manner. This solution is highly recommended for LDPE and LLDPE foils, stretch wraps, as well as packaging and agricultural waste.
What outputs and contamination levels are there?
Our pelletising lines offer the output capacity of approx. 60 kg/h in pilot lines, and up to 2000 kg/h in industrial lines. The contamination levels depend on the filtration systems and configuration options, with clean processing (5% contamination content) in cascade lines with self-cleaning filters.
