210mm Parallel Twin Screw Recycling Extruder for Africa
Yongte Custom 210mm Parallel Twin Screw Recycling Extruder Shipped to Africa for Large-Scale Plastic Film Recycling
Yongte Machinery, a professional manufacturer of plastic recycling and extrusion equipment, is completing assembly and testing of a tailor-made 210mm parallel co-rotating twin-screw recycling extruder for an African client. Specially engineered to adapt to local low-bulk-density plastic waste and unstable power grids, this new-generation pelletizing unit delivers consistent high-output granulation, empowering African recyclers to upgrade waste plastic processing lines and accelerate local circular economy development.
Core Equipment Configuration & Innovative Structural Advantages
Targeting the massive volume of waste plastic films and woven plastic bags widely processed across African recycling factories, Yongte fully optimized all core components of the 210mm twin-screw extruder, resolving the long-standing industry bottlenecks of difficult feeding and low processing efficiency for lightweight thin plastic materials.
Reinforced Heavy-Duty Forced Feeding Section
Equipped with an upgraded forced feeding module with optimized screw pitch and compression ratio, the machine supports direct feeding of whole waste plastic films and shopping bags without pre-shredding or pre-crushing. It effectively eliminates material bridging, jamming and feeding interruptions caused by fluffy, low-density plastic scraps. This design simplifies the whole pre-processing workflow and drastically cuts customers’ overall production and labor costs.
High-Speed Electromagnetic Rapid Heating System
Replacing conventional resistance heating modules, the extruder adopts energy-efficient electromagnetic heating technology. It realizes fast, uniform barrel heating, cutting preheating time by over 30% and lowering continuous operation energy consumption. The system perfectly matches fluctuating power supply conditions prevalent in most African regions. Precise zone temperature control guarantees stable plastic melting and uniform quality of recycled pellets.
High-Torque Heavy-Duty Power Drive System
Matched with a 6-stage dedicated motor and heavy-load high-torque reducer, the power unit maintains steady, durable extrusion torque under long-hour full-load operation. It delivers powerful shearing and mixing performance while avoiding motor overload and unexpected shutdowns, greatly improving the overall stability of the entire pelletizing production line.
Industry-Leading Stable Output of 600kg/h
Through full-process structural optimization and power matching calibration, this customized recycling extruder achieves a continuous stable hourly output of 600 kilograms. It balances high-speed pelletizing with superior plastic melting, melt filtration and homogenization effects, fully meeting the large-scale production demands of medium and large plastic recycling factories across Africa.
Market Significance for Africa’s Plastic Recycling Industry
Plastic pollution has become a severe environmental crisis throughout Africa, while booming downstream plastic manufacturing continuously pushes up local demand for high-quality recycled plastic pellets. However, most conventional recycling equipment available locally suffers from poor feeding adaptability, high power consumption, frequent breakdowns and insufficient throughput.
This tailor-made Yongte twin-screw extruder directly addresses all these regional pain points:
- Direct feeding function removes one auxiliary crushing process, lowering capital investment thresholds for new recycling enterprises;
- Anti-jamming feeding structure and robust power system reduce post-purchase maintenance costs and production downtime losses;
- Energy-saving electromagnetic heating cuts daily electricity expenditure for African manufacturers.
The equipment enables local factories to convert waste plastic films and packaging bags into high-value recycled pellets, realizing full waste resource recovery and bringing remarkable economic and environmental dual benefits.
Current Project Progress
All core mechanical parts, electrical control cabinets and heating modules of the 210mm large parallel twin-screw recycling extruder have finished manufacturing and passed strict factory inspection. Yongte’s professional engineering team is carrying out systematic assembly, calibration and full-load performance testing. The machine will complete factory acceptance tests shortly and be delivered to Africa on schedule to support the customer’s official mass production launch.
