Parallel Twin Screw Extruder Africa Plastic Film Recycling
Parallel Twin-Screw Extruder for Plastic Film Recycling | Africa Project
Project Background
Plastic film pollution has become a severe environmental problem across Africa, threatening urban sanitation, ecological balance and public health. To solve this challenge, Yongte’s parallel twin-screw extruder dedicated to waste plastic film recycling has been officially put into stable operation at our partner’s factory in Africa.
This core recycling equipment is tailor-made for processing waste PP and PE plastic films & bags. It integrates mature technology and reliable performance, fully matching the local plastic waste recycling demands.
Core Technical Specifications
We adopt a co-rotating parallel twin-screw structure with stable mechanical performance, perfectly adapting to harsh local working conditions:
- Screw diameter: 150mm
- Screw length: 3500mm
- Main material of screw & barrel: 38CrMoAIA with nitriding treatment (high strength, excellent wear resistance)
- Hourly output: 400 - 600 kg/h (stable continuous production)
Key Advantages of Yongte Extruder
- Excellent Plasticizing & HomogenizationThe professional twin-screw design ensures thorough melting and mixing of waste plastic films, effectively solving uneven melting caused by impurities and adhesives in raw materials.
- Save Pre-processing Work (Time & Cost Saving)The specially optimized feeding zone supports direct feeding of large plastic films and bags, no need for pre-crushing and washing, greatly simplifying production procedures.
- Built-in Exhaust ZoneEquipped with an independent exhaust structure to remove moisture from raw materials, improving the quality of recycled plastic materials.
- Energy-saving & High EfficiencyThe overall structure adopts energy-saving design, which cuts down power consumption while maintaining high production capacity.
- Low Failure & Easy Maintenance
Simple mechanical structure, low failure rate, easy daily operation and maintenance, suitable for local on-site operation.
Wide Application of Recycled Plastic Materials
The recycled plastic particles processed by our extruder can be further made into finished products with our supporting machines, realizing waste-to-value:
- Plastic Daily Products: Plastic basins, buckets, stools, trash cans and other daily necessities via plastic molding machines.
- WPC Products: WPC decking, wall panels, fences and other wood-plastic composite products via WPC production lines.
On-site Service & Project Achievements
Yongte provided one-stop on-site services including equipment installation, commissioning and professional operator training for our African partner, ensuring workers master operation skills proficiently.
Since commissioning, the machine has run continuously and stably. Up to now, it has processed thousands of tons of waste plastic films, turning plastic waste into reusable resources. The project not only alleviates local plastic pollution, but also brings substantial economic benefits to the customer.
Our Future Vision
Adhering to the green development concept, Yongte will keep upgrading product performance and developing more high-efficiency, energy-saving plastic recycling solutions. We are willing to cooperate with global partners to tackle plastic pollution, boost the circular economy and achieve sustainable development worldwide.
