1. Project Overview
-
Location: Tanzania
-
Date: October 2023
-
Material: PP/HDPE Rigid Plastics (Crushed industrial scraps)
-
Equipment: 300kg/h Double Stage Pelletizing Line (150mm)
-
Final Application: High-Quality Injection Molding
2. The Challenge
A recycling startup in Tanzania needed a reliable solution to process 6 tons of rigid plastic waste daily. Their primary hurdles were:
-
Quality Consistency: The recycled pellets needed to be pure enough for high-end injection molding applications.
-
Operational Ease: As a growing facility, they required equipment that was easy to maintain and simple for local staff to operate without extensive technical training.
-
Space Optimization: The production line needed to be compact to maximize the efficiency of their workshop layout.
3. Ruili Machinery’s Solution
We provided a Customized 150mm Double Stage Pelletizing Line tailored for the Tanzanian market:
-
Optimized Double-Stage Design: The 150mm main and vice extruder configuration ensures deep degassing and fine filtration, effectively removing impurities from rigid PP/HDPE scraps.
-
Integrated Workflow: A seamless “Turnkey” setup including the Main & Vice Extruders, specialized Cooling Tank, precision Noodle Cutting system, and finished product Storage Silo.
-
User-Centric Engineering: Focus on a simplified control interface and robust mechanical components to ensure long-term stability with minimal supervision.
-
High ROI Design: Specifically engineered to provide industrial-grade output at a competitive investment cost, ideal for growing recycling businesses.
4. Results & Performance
The line has been operational since October 2023 with excellent feedback:
-
Stable Throughput: Successfully reaching the target of 6 tons per day, enabling the client to meet their supply contracts.
-
Zero Downtime: Reported zero operational failures, proving the durability of Ruili equipment in East African operating conditions.
-
Market Entry: The client has successfully transitioned from waste collection to becoming a premium supplier of injection-grade recycled resins in the region.
-
Cost Efficiency: Significant reduction in energy consumption per ton compared to traditional single-stage machines.
5. Customer Feedback
