Recycled Plastic Granule Production Line and Factory Setup

A recycled plastic granule production line is a complete industrial system designed to transform plastic waste (PET, PP, PE and similar) into clean, reusable granules under controlled process conditions. The line produces recycled granules ready for further processing or sale.

From an industrial perspective, plastic recycling is important because it combines sorting, shredding, washing, drying, extrusion, melt filtration and pelletizing into a continuous process. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include plastic waste (PET, PP, PE), process water, detergents and packaging materials. The core machinery set consists of shredders, washing systems, dryers, extruders, melt filters, pelletizers and conveying systems.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new plastic recycling plant as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The recycled plastic granule production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering sorting, shredding, washing, drying, extrusion, melt filtration, pelletizing and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from pilot or semi-industrial scales up to higher industrial throughputs, depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include recycled PET, PP and PE granules of various grades. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: collection and sorting of waste, shredding, washing, drying, extrusion with melt filtration, pelletizing and packaging.

Main machinery groups include shredders, washing systems, dryers, extruders, melt filters, pelletizers and conveying systems. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power (100–200 kW), process water (10–30 m³/day) and wastewater treatment.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation (typically 5–12 persons per shift). Quality control covers cleanliness, melt flow, contamination level and packaging integrity. Finished granules are stored under ambient conditions before distribution.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Collection and Sorting – Plastic waste is collected and sorted by polymer type.
  2. Shredding – Sorted waste is shredded into flakes or chips.
  3. Washing and Drying – Flakes are washed to remove contaminants and dried.
  4. Extrusion and Melt Filtration – Clean flakes are melted, filtered and extruded.
  5. Pelletizing and Packaging – The extrudate is pelletized and packaged.

Machinery & Equipment

  • Shredder – Reduces plastic waste to processable size. Position: first process stage. Importance: foundation of throughput. Quality impact: particle size affects washing and extrusion. Maintenance: knives, screens and drives. Sahi Rasa Support: design, manufacturing/procurement, installation, repair and spare parts.
  • Washing and Drying System – Removes contaminants and moisture. Position: after shredding. Quality impact: residual contamination and moisture affect melt quality. Maintenance: pumps, screens and dryers. Sahi Rasa Support: installation, repair and spare parts.
  • Extruder and Melt Filter – Melts and filters the plastic. Position: core of the process. Importance: determines granule quality. Quality impact: filtration level and melt temperature control contamination and processability. Maintenance: screws, barrels, filters and heaters. Sahi Rasa Support: design, manufacturing/procurement, installation, repair, overhaul and automation.
  • Pelletizer – Converts extrudate into granules. Position: after extrusion. Quality impact: granule size and shape. Maintenance: die face, cutter and cooling system. Sahi Rasa Support: installation, repair and spare parts.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical functional areas include waste receiving and sorting, shredding, washing, drying, extrusion, pelletizing, packaging, utility rooms, wastewater treatment, maintenance workshop, staff facilities and loading docks. Layout must respect material flow and hygiene. Exact area allocation is determined during the engineering phase according to capacity.
