  • High Output & Energy Efficiency: Engineered for high capacity with optimized energy consumption.
  • Customizable Solutions: Customized options for sub extrusion unit, degassing, filtration, and pelletizing systems to meet specific recycling needs.
  • User-Friendly Operation: Touchscreen controls, automated monitoring, and easy maintenance design.

How the CR Series Works

  1. Feeding: Soft plastic waste is loaded into the feeding hopper.
  2. Crushing: The powerful crusher cuts the material into small, manageable pieces.
  3. Extrusion & Plasticization: The crushed plastic is conveyed into the extruder, melted, and homogenized.
  4. Degassing: Volatile contaminants and moisture are removed through a vacuum degassing system.
  5. Filtration: Melt filters remove impurities, ensuring high pellet quality.
  6. Pelletizing: The filtered melt is cut into uniform pellets, ready for reuse or resale.
