Advanced Film Dewatering Technology

Plastic Film Squeezer Machine

RUMTOO’s Plastic Film Squeezer efficiently dewaters and densifies washed plastic films, reducing moisture to 1-5% for optimal recycling and enhanced extruder performance.

The Challenge of Wet Plastic Films

Recycling post-consumer plastic films presents significant hurdles, primarily due to high moisture content after washing.

Common Problems

  • Washed film typically holds up to 40% moisture, complicating further processing.
  • Standard vertical dryers often leave 20-30% residual water in lightweight film flakes.
  • Inconsistent feeding in recycling extruders and reduced output efficiency.

RUMTOO’s Solution

  • Reduces moisture from 10-35% down to an exceptionally low 1-5%.
  • Significantly faster drying compared to traditional centrifugal or hot air methods.
  • Transforms loose film into high-density lumps for stable feeding into extruders.

From Waste Film to Densified Material

RUMTOO’s streamlined three-step transformation process.

Waste Plastic Film
1 Waste Plastic Film
Plastic film waste generated in daily life, typically wet after washing, ready for densification.
Densifying Material
2 Densifying & Squeezing
The squeezer machine processes the wet film, expelling water and compacting the material.
Material After Densification
3 Dried & Densified Output
Densified, significantly drier plastic material (1-5% moisture) ready for efficient pelletizing.

Key Features & Benefits

Engineered by RUMTOO for maximum efficiency in plastic film recycling.

Superior Moisture Reduction
Reduces water moisture in film flakes from 10-35% down to an exceptionally low 1-5%, ideal for pelletizing.
Optimized Density & Volume
Transforms loose film into high-density lumps, reducing volume for easier, stable feeding into extruders.
Accelerated Drying Process
Significantly faster drying for washed film and woven waste compared to traditional centrifugal or hot air methods.
Minimized Material Degradation
Gentle drying process generates less heat, minimizing material degradation and preserving recycled pellet value.
Enhanced Extruder Efficiency
Boosts output capacity and effectiveness of the pelletizing extruder and the overall recycling process.
Improved Pellet Quality
Consistent feeding and low moisture lead to higher-quality recycled pellets with greater reusability.

How It Works: The Squeezing Process

RUMTOO’s five-step dewatering and densification process.

1 Feeding
Washed plastic films, typically still containing significant moisture, are fed into the squeezer machine.
2 High-Pressure Squeezing
A rotating screw forces the material through a specially designed perforated barrel, subjecting the film to intense pressure.
3 Dehydration
Moisture is forcefully squeezed out through the perforations, collected, and drained away, leaving the plastic films much drier.
4 Densification
The dried material is compacted. Some models may extrude semi-molten material, which is then cut into pellets or flakes.
5 Discharge
The dried and densified plastic material is discharged, ready for pelletizing or direct reuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about RUMTOO’s Film Squeezer Machine.

Why is a squeezer essential for plastic film recycling?

Plastic films hold significant moisture (up to 40%) after washing. Traditional dryers are often ineffective. RUMTOO’s squeezer drastically reduces this moisture to 1-5%, preventing extruder issues and improving output quality and efficiency.

What types of plastic film can this machine process?

RUMTOO’s squeezer is suitable for various washed plastic films, primarily PE (Polyethylene) and PP (Polypropylene) films, including post-consumer films, agricultural films, and industrial film waste.

How does the squeezer improve pellet quality?

By reducing moisture significantly and densifying the material, RUMTOO’s squeezer ensures a more consistent and stable feed into the pelletizing extruder. This minimizes voids and imperfections, leading to higher-quality, more uniform pellets.

Can this machine be integrated into existing recycling lines?

Yes, RUMTOO’s Film Squeezer is designed for seamless integration between your washing line and pelletizing extruder. Our engineers can assist with installation planning and setup to ensure optimal performance within your existing infrastructure.

What is the typical power consumption?

Power consumption varies by model and configuration. The primary heating comes from friction and pressure during the squeezing process, making it energy-efficient. Contact RUMTOO for detailed power specifications for your chosen model.

How does RUMTOO’s squeezer compare to traditional drying methods?

RUMTOO’s squeezer is significantly faster than traditional centrifugal or hot air dryers, especially for lightweight film flakes. It achieves lower moisture levels (1-5% vs 20-30%), uses less energy, and causes minimal material degradation due to the gentle mechanical drying process.

What warranty and after-sales support does RUMTOO offer?

Each RUMTOO recycling machine, including our film squeezer, comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. We provide installation services where our engineers can visit your site to assist with setup. Maintenance, operator training, and ongoing technical consultancy can also be arranged.
