Plastic granulator machines as indispensable equipment in the process of plastic recycling and reuse, which provide an important source of raw materials for the manufacture of plastic products by processing waste plastic materials into granular form. However, the output of plastic granulator machines is affected by a variety of factors, and this article will analyze the size of its output and the factors affecting in-depth.
Range of output of plastic granulator machines
The output of plastic recycling pellet machines varies with different models, specifications and production processes. Generally speaking, the output of plastic granulator machines can range from tens of kilograms per hour to several tons per hour.
Small plastic granulators are suitable for small-scale processing, and their output usually ranges from tens to hundreds of kilograms per hour; medium-sized plastic granulators are suitable for medium-scale production, and their output can range from hundreds to 1,000 kilograms per hour; and the output of large-scale industrial-grade plastic granulators is even more remarkable, and it can be more than several tons per hour.
Factors affecting the output of plastic granulator
The size of the output of the plastic granulator is affected by a number of factors, the following are some of the key factors:
Type and state of raw materials
Plastic granulator machines can handle many types of plastic raw materials, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and so on. Different types of plastics have different physical properties and meltability, which will directly affect the processing efficiency and yield of plastics.
In addition, the state of the raw material is also a factor that affects the output. Waste plastics that are not pre-treated may require more time and energy to melt and process, thus reducing the output of the plastic recycling pellet machine.
Model and design
Different models and designs of plastic granulators have different working principles and production efficiencies. Some advanced plastic granulators use more efficient melting and pelletizing technology, thus processing more plastic raw materials at the same time. Therefore, model and design of plastic granulator machines are important factors to consider when selecting a plastic granulator.
Processing parameters
The processing parameters of the plastic granulator machines, such as temperature, pressure, granulation speed, etc., directly affect the plastic melting and granulation efficiency in the production process. Appropriate processing parameters can increase the melting speed of plastic, thereby increasing production. Improper parameter settings may lead to incomplete melting or poor quality of plastic pellets, affecting output and product quality.
Maintenance and care
Regular maintenance and servicing of the plastic granulator machines is essential to maintain their normal operation and stable output. Regular cleaning, lubrication and replacement of worn parts can reduce equipment breakdowns and downtime, thus ensuring stable and consistent output.
