Recycling Challenges for Small and Medium Manufacturers: High Costs and Low Efficiency

As global pressure for plastic recycling continues to increase, many small and medium-sized manufacturers are encountering a range of challenges, including complex operations, difficulties in handling contaminated materials, and elevated labor and space costs. These issues significantly hinder both overall recycling efficiency and product yield.

Traditional plastic recycling typically involves several steps: shredding, melting and extrusion, filtration, and pelletizing. Each step requires distinct equipment and manpower, complicating operation and management. This complexity often results in production bottlenecks and resource waste.

  • Time-consuming and inefficient multi-step processing:

    Materials must be transferred through several machines, which increases the risk of bottlenecks and contamination.
  • High labor and energy costs:

    Each stage necessitates dedicated personnel and consumes significant amounts of power.
  • Difficult to remove contamination and impurities:

    Traditional models lack effective degassing and multi-stage filtration, resulting in inconsistent pellet quality.
  • Low space utilization efficiency:

    The equipment occupies a large area, making it unfriendly for small and medium-sized factories.

Geording’s GD-115TS 3-in-1 Two-Stage Die-Face Cutting, Recycling, and Pelletizing Machine integrates all of these processes into a single system, handling everything from raw material feeding to pellet production in one seamless operation. This machine significantly simplifies operations, reduces costs, and enhances both productivity and pellet quality, making it the ideal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking efficient recycling.

Simplify Your Recycling Process with One Machine from Geording

The GD-115TS-3IN1 Two Stages Die-Face Cutting Recycling and Pelletizing Machine transforms the complex plastic recycling workflow into a streamlined, fully automated production line. The process includes:

  • Automatic Belt Conveyor + Raw Material Feeding

    The automated feeding system greatly reduces manual labor, especially suitable for continuous and stable feeding of lightweight materials such as PE film.

Geording’s One-Step Solution: Space-Saving, Labor-Saving, Quality-Oriented, Easy to Operate

Plastic recycling is not limited to large manufacturers; small and medium-d factories can also achieve high-quality recycling through efficient and streamlined systems. The GD-115TS-3IN1 is specifically designed to tackle real-world operational challenges. It not only conserves space and reduces labor costs but also guarantees consistent pellet quality, thereby enhancing competitiveness in shipments and making the recycling process easier and more reliable.
  • Triple Venting System:

    Compared to traditional double venting, the additional venting design more thoroughly removes moisture and gases, significantly reducing the risk of bubbles forming in the pellets during downstream applications and improving product yield.
  • Dual Filtration System:

    A dual-layer filtration mechanism provides an added safeguard by effectively capturing and removing impurities of various sizes, ensuring that the final pellets are purer and thereby enhancing their market value.
  • Compact Footprint Design:

    An integrated design greatly reduces the equipment's space requirements, making it easy to install even in space-constrained small and medium-sized factories, and optimizes space utilization.
  • Energy-Efficient and Labor-Saving:

    Fully automated operation across the entire line significantly reduces energy consumption and labor demand, while supporting 24/7 continuous production to boost efficiency and lower operational costs.
  • User-Friendly Interface:

    An intuitive and ergonomic interface design lowers the learning curve for operators and simplifies maintenance, reducing the need for additional training and minimizing downtime.

The GD-115TS-3IN1 provides extensive application and material compatibility to meet diverse recycling needs. It is capable of processing a wide variety of common plastic waste materials, including polyethylene film, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene bags, agricultural film, and soft packaging waste. Widely utilized in the following industries:

  • Agriculture:

    Efficiently recycles agricultural and greenhouse films, promoting resource reuse and supporting sustainable farming practices.
  • Packaging Recycling:

    Offers an effective recycling solution for food pouches, polyethylene sealing films, and various other packaging materials, aligning with current environmental trends.
