IVIMA supplies complete Plastic Pelletizing Machine solutions for plastic recycling, compounding, and re-pelletizing applications. Our pelletizing systems are suitable for PP/PE film, PP/PE rigid regrind, PET flakes, PVC compounds, and other prepared plastic materials. According to different raw materials and production requirements, the line can be configured with agglomerator feeding, force feeding, dose feeding, die-face cutting, water ring cutting, or strand cutting systems.
As a plastic extrusion and recycling machinery manufacturer, IVIMA focuses on stable plasticizing, uniform pellet quality, efficient feeding, and reliable long-term operation. Our pelletizing lines can be customized for material type, output capacity, cutting method, plant layout, and automation level, helping plastic recyclers and manufacturers turn waste or compound materials into reusable granules.
A Plastic Pelletizing Machine is used to convert plastic scraps, flakes, films, regrind, or compound materials into uniform pellets for reuse in extrusion, injection molding, compounding, and downstream plastic production. Compared with loose flakes or irregular scraps, plastic pellets are easier to transport, dose, melt, and process in continuous production.
IVIMA offers different pelletizing line designs for both soft and rigid materials. For film materials with low bulk density, the line can be equipped with an agglomerator or force feeding system to improve feeding stability. For rigid plastic regrind, dose feeding or side force feeding can help maintain consistent material input. For PET flakes and PVC compounds, customized screw design, filtration, cutting, cooling, and drying systems are selected according to material characteristics.
Different plastics require different feeding, extrusion, filtration, and cutting configurations. IVIMA provides plastic pelletizing systems for a wide range of recycling and compounding applications, including PP, PE, PET, PVC, and mixed plastic materials after proper sorting and preparation.
| Material Type | Typical Raw Material | Recommended Configuration | Common Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| PP/PE Film | Washed film, packaging film, soft scraps | Agglomerator or force feeding pelletizing line | Film recycling and granule production |
| PP/PE Rigid Material | Crushed bottles, containers, pipes, rigid regrind | Side force feeding or dose feeding pelletizing line | Recycled PP/PE pellet production |
| PET Flakes | PET bottle flakes and PET scraps | Twin-screw pelletizing with filtration and strand cutting | PET recycling and re-pelletizing |
| PVC Compounds | Soft PVC, rigid PVC, PVC powder blends, PVC scraps | Hot die-face or strand cutting pelletizing line | PVC pipe, profile, cable compound, and sheet production |
IVIMA designs different Plastic Pelletizing Machine types according to material form, feeding behavior, moisture level, required output, and final pellet quality. Choosing the right pelletizing line helps improve production stability, reduce material waste, and produce more consistent granules.
PP and PE film materials are light, soft, and difficult to feed evenly. For this type of material, IVIMA can provide an agglomerate type pelletizing line or force feeding system to compact the film before extrusion. This helps improve feeding efficiency and makes the whole pelletizing process more stable.
For rigid PP and PE regrind, such as crushed containers, sheets, pipes, or injection scraps, a side force feeding or dose feeding design is often more suitable. The Side Force Feeding Type PP PE Pelletizing Machine is designed for both PP/PE rigid materials and soft materials, with options such as single-stage, double-stage, water ring cutting, and strand cutting.
PET flakes require stable feeding, plasticizing, filtration, cooling, and drying. IVIMA’s PET Flake Pelletizing Line uses a twin-screw extrusion and pelletizing process to convert PET plastic flakes into reusable granules. It is suitable for PET bottle flakes, PET scrap recycling, and re-pelletizing applications.
For soft and rigid PVC formulations, IVIMA provides customized compounding and pelletizing systems. The Soft and Rigid PVC Compounding Pelletizing Line integrates extrusion, hot face cutting, air conveying, vibrating screening, and silo storage for continuous PVC pellet production. It is suitable for PVC powder blends, PVC compounds, and properly prepared PVC scraps.
The cutting method has a direct influence on pellet shape, cooling efficiency, operation convenience, and line layout. IVIMA can configure the Plastic Pelletizing Machine with different cutting systems based on material type and production requirements.
Die-face cutting: Cuts molten plastic directly at the die surface. It is suitable for compact layouts and continuous pellet production.
Water ring cutting: Cools and cuts pellets with water circulation, commonly used for PP and PE pelletizing applications.
Strand cutting: Extrudes plastic strands through a die, cools them in a water tank, and cuts them into pellets after cooling.
Hot face cutting: Often used in PVC compounding pelletizing lines to produce uniform granules from compound materials.
IVIMA plastic pelletizing systems are engineered for continuous production, stable output, and easy operation. According to different line configurations, the machine can include screw feeding, force feeding, extrusion, screen changing, cutting, cooling, dewatering, air conveying, vibrating screening, and silo storage.
Wide material compatibility: Suitable for PP, PE, PET, PVC, film scraps, rigid regrind, flakes, and compound materials.

Customized line design: Output capacity, machine layout, screw design, and auxiliary equipment can be configured for specific projects.
Selecting the right Plastic Pelletizing Machine depends on raw material type, material condition, required capacity, pellet quality requirements, and the downstream application of the finished granules. A film recycling project, a PET flake recycling line, and a PVC compounding line usually require different feeding, extrusion, and cutting systems.
Before choosing a pelletizing line, it is recommended to confirm the following factors:
Raw material type: PP, PE, PET, PVC, or mixed plastic materials.
Material form: film, flakes, rigid regrind, powder blend, or compound material.
Material condition: washed, dried, crushed, compacted, or pre-treated.
Required output capacity and expected pellet size.
Preferred cutting method, such as die-face, water ring, strand, or hot face cutting.
Factory layout, automation level, cooling method, and storage requirements.
