South Korea – Kitech Machinery's engineering team has successfully commissioned and operationalized the KSP Series Single-Screw Low-Temperature Pelletizing System at a client's facility in South Korea. Designed specifically for recycling challenging low melt flow index HDPE scraps, this milestone underscores Kitech's global leadership in high-efficiency rigid plastic regeneration.
I. Challenge & Breakthrough
The project targeted post-industrial HDPE scraps with ultra-low melt flow indices – materials notorious for poor fluidity and complex processing. With its low-temperature plasticizing technology, Kitech KSP system transformed these hard-to-process wastes into high-purity, reusable pellets, setting a new benchmark for difficult-to-recycle polymers.
II. Core Advantages
Kitech KSP series integrates a closed-loop regeneration process that delivers unmatched efficiency:
1.Unified Workflow: Combines feeding, plasticizing, filtration, cutting, and drying into one compact system.
2.Broad Material Compatibility: Processes PP, PE, ABS, PS, HIPS, PC, and especially low-MFI HDPE flakes.
3.High Output & Quality: Produces uniform pellets meeting industrial reuse standards for true circularity.
III. Engineering Excellence: Key Components
1. Intelligent Feeding System
Customizable stainless-steel screw feeder
Built-in magnetic separator to remove metal contaminants
2. High-Efficiency plasticizing Unit
Proprietary screw design: 20% higher output and plasticizing efficiency
Wear-resistant alloy barrel/screw: 150% extended service life
Precision thermal control: Maintains stable 180–190°C melting temperature
3. Piston-Type Screen Changer
Large Filtration Area: Effectively traps fine particles and contaminants.
High Production: Designed for high-output applications, minimizing frequent screen replacement.
Superior Sealing: Advanced sealing system eliminates polymer leakage entirely.
4. Water-Ring Pelletizing Unit
European-designed cutter with VFD motor: ±0.5mm pellet consistency
