[Poland, Europe] – Last week, the Kitech Machinery team visited a long-term client at their factory in Poland. The client has been operating a KCP series double-stage pelletizing line since 2021. On-site videos clearly show that after four years of continuous, non-stop operation, the machinery remains stable and performs excellently. Our sales and technical team primarily provided routine maintenance, replaced worn parts, and offered guidance to help optimize their plastic recycling production.
A major highlight of the KCP series is its ability to process various materials. The KCP160+180 pelletizing machine demonstrates strong plasticizing power and process stability when handling HDPE, LDPE, and all sorts of soft plastic films. Its two-stage screw extruder is specifically designed to process challenging materials, including those with high ink content, high moisture, poor flow, temperature sensitivity, and high impurity levels.
The Core Technology: Kitech's Self-Cleaning Laser Filter
The system's outstanding performance stems from its heart the proprietary self-cleaning laser filter. This technology is a significant breakthrough compared to traditional screen changer.
1. Reduces Labor Costs: No manual screen changes are needed. Six efficient scrapers clean the screen automatically, significantly cutting labor costs and ensuring continuous, uninterrupted production for higher efficiency.
2. Superior Filtration Precision: The laser screen contains thousands of precise micro-holes, offering filtration precision from 80 to 800 microns to remove impurities effectively.
3. Extended Service Life: The core laser screen is made from high-strength chrome-molybdenum steel. Its thickened 1.5mm design offers exceptional wear resistance and toughness, significantly prolonging its lifespan.

Kitech Machinery: Key Components Explained
1. Automatic Feeding System
A belt conveyor with a metal detector ensures stable, consistent feeding speed. The detector identifies and prevents metal contaminants from entering, protecting downstream equipment.
2. Cutting and Compacting System
This unit integrates pre-heating, mixing, partial plasticizing, and pre-drying, optimizing material handling before the extruder. Precise temperature control prevents overheating and ensures consistent material quality.
3. Double-Stage Screw Extruder
The efficient barrel and screw extruder deliver excellent plasticization, resulting in high output and high-quality pellets. The two-stage setup is ideal for processing materials with high ink, high moisture, or temperature sensitivity.
4. High-Efficiency Filtration System
A combination of the laser filter and a piston screen changer effectively removes most impurities from the plastic melt.
Auto Laser Filter: Enables automatic, continuous filtration without manual intervention.
Piston Screen Changer: Features a double-piston design for a larger filtering area, effectively trapping contaminants and minimizing the frequency of screen changes during continuous runs.
5. PLC Control System
Built with quality components from brands like Siemens and Schneider, ensuring reliability. User-friendly features include one-touch start/stop, recipe memory, and safety interlock functions, simplifying operation.
6. Water Ring Pelletizer
Equipped with high-quality, durable D2 steel blades. The European-designed cutting head automatically adjusts speed based on melt pressure, ensuring consistent and uniform pellets making machine output.
7. Vibration Drying System
A combination of vibration drying system and horizontal centrifugal drying ensures optimal results, with final moisture content below 3%. An integrated heat exchanger cools process water for re-use, significantly reducing water consumption.
8. Silo System
Provides effective storage and maintains pellet dryness to prevent moisture absorption. An optional weighing system allows for real-time production monitoring.
