Plastic Film Squeezer Drying Machine: Top 5 Benefits for Recycling Operations
Plastic recycling can be challenging, especially when dealing with post-consumer materials like PE film, PP woven bags, and agricultural films. One of the biggest obstacles recyclers face is the high moisture content of washed plastic films, which can be as much as 40%. This excessive moisture can lead to inconsistent feeding and reduced efficiency during extrusion, affecting overall productivity and quality. Traditional drying methods often struggle to achieve moisture reduction below 30%, making the recycling process inefficient.
