Plastic Film Squeezing Machine | Densifier for Washing Lines
Reduce film moisture from 10-35% down to 1-5% while densifying for stable, high-throughput extrusion. Designed to sit between your washing line and pelletizing to maximize output and quality.
- Removes trapped water that centrifugal and hot-air dryers miss
- Improves feeding stability and boosts extruder output
- Minimizes heat history to protect material value
Applications
Waste Plastic Film
Plastic film waste generated in daily life and industrial production.
Densifying Material
For plastic film and bags after washing.
Densified Material
Material after film densification.
From Wet Film to Ready Feedstock
01. FEEDING
Infeed
Washed films and flakes are conveyed into the squeezer.
02. SQUEEZING
High-Pressure Compression
The screw drives water out through perforations under high pressure.
03. DEHYDRATION
Water Separation
Separated water is collected and discharged from the machine.
04. EXTRUSION
Densification
Dried material exits as compacted flakes or lumps.
05. DISCHARGE
Ready Feedstock
Material is ready for pelletizing or direct reuse.
Main Features & Benefits
Engineered for moisture reduction, densification and stable downstream performance. For applications that require additional post-drying, consider a thermal dryer for plastic recycling to fine-tune residual moisture.
Reduces water moisture in film flakes from 10-35% down to 1-5%.
Transforms loose film into solid lumps, reducing volume for easier and more stable feeding.
Significantly faster drying times than traditional centrifugal or hot-air methods.
Generates less heat to minimize material degradation and preserve higher value.
Reduced moisture and lower degradation support higher-quality, reusable pellets.
Faster drying, better feeding and reduced degradation improve the overall process.
Integration with Recycling Washing Line
Typical placement is between an upstream plastic film washing line and a downstream plastic pelletizing line for stable feeding and uniform pellets.
Maximize Output
Optimizes output when used with a compactor-extruder-pelletizing recycling machine.
Specially Designed
Engineered to fit between the washing line and extruder to elevate output.
Workflow
Washing line → Plastic Squeezer Dryer → Plastic Recycling Extruder

Frequently Asked Questions
What moisture level can the squeezer achieve?
Typical results are 1-5% residual moisture depending on feedstock, washing efficiency and throughput settings.
Can it handle both PP and PE films?
Yes. It is designed for PP and PE film and bags after washing, and mixed post-consumer films are commonly processed.
Where does the squeezer fit in my line?
Place it after the washing line and before the recycling extruder: Washing line → Plastic Squeezer Dryer → Plastic Recycling Extruder.
Does it increase material temperature significantly?
Compared with thermal drying, the squeezing process minimizes heat history and reduces degradation while still boosting dryness and bulk density.
What is the typical energy consumption?
Typical specific energy consumption ranges from 0.04-0.08 kWh/kg depending on throughput, input moisture, screw diameter and heating method.
What maintenance and consumables are required?
Daily cleaning of perforations and discharge area is recommended. Weekly checks should cover bearings, seals and fasteners, while monthly inspection of screw, barrel and liners helps control wear.
