Genius Plastic Washing Recycling Line with Squeeze Dryer Launches for Latin America, Ensures Below 3% Moisture Post Drying

24 August 2023

Genius Machinery, a prominent player based in Taiwan, is addressing the escalating demand in the South American market with its cutting-edge plastic washing recycling machine line. Renowned globally for its innovative machinery catering to a wide spectrum of plastic material recycling, Genius Machinery has unveiled the highlight of its latest product line: the Screw Press Dewatering Machine.

Acknowledging that washed plastic films can retain as much as 30% moisture, significantly affecting subsequent pelletizing processes, Genius has introduced the Screw Press Dewatering Machine as a pioneering solution. This technology, also referred to as Squeeze Dryers, efficiently dehydrates washed films, minimizes the volume of recycled materials, and enhances the quality of final plastic pellets. Genius' Screw Press Dewatering Machine ensures a mere 3% moisture content post-drying, thereby bolstering production efficiency and the quality of plastic recycling granulators.

The comprehensive plastic recycling washing plant line by Genius encompasses both rigid washing plants and film washing plants. The rigid washing plants are engineered to recycle post-consumer hard materials such as bottles, injection molding waste, pipes, e-waste, and more. These systems yield consistent plastic flakes of high purity and minimal moisture content.

In parallel, the film washing plant, another innovation by Genius, facilitates the recycling of post-consumer film or bags. These machines effectively process materials such as landfill waste films, agricultural films, industrial stretch wrap films, transforming them into high-quality squeezed flakes with moisture levels below 3%. Designed with integrated crushing, washing, and drying units, these film washing plants further reinforce efficient waste management and recycling.

The escalating global issue of plastic waste, stemming from years of excessive plastic consumption, underscores the need for sustainable solutions. A recent United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) report indicates an annual creation of approximately 430 million tons of plastic waste worldwide due to various human activities, with a significant portion attributed to short-lived products. This situation necessitates a comprehensive shift towards more sustainable plastic production, usage, recovery, and disposal strategies, with recycling playing a pivotal role.

Genius, recognized globally for its contributions to the industry, has consistently advocated the significance of plastic recycling. In line with this commitment, the company has recently published a blog post titled "5 Steps to Building Your Own Plastic Film Recycling Washing Line/Plant," offering detailed insights into constructing a plastic film recycling plant.

Peter Tsai, CEO of Genius Machinery, stated, "Genius is distinguished among Asian suppliers for consistently maintaining moisture levels below 3% throughout the dewatering process. This accomplishment not only defines a pivotal aspect of our washing lines but also represents the embodiment of advanced technology and superior quality."

As the industry advances, Genius Machinery's endeavors continue to shape the future of plastic recycling technology, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible world.
