1. Q: What Is the Production Capacity or Output of a Plastic Pelletizing Machine?
Answer: WANROOETECH plastic pelletizing machines have an output range of 20 kg to 3000 kg per hour.
The main output level and machine size are determined by the screw diameter, which represents the model of the
machine. For example, a screw diameter of 150 mm determines the model of the plastic granulation equipment.
For different manufacturers, even the same model may have significant differences in output due to variations in
technical and technological standards. The output difference can be as much as 2 to 3 times.
Therefore, when consulting about a machine, customers should focus on the output standard rather than the model
standard.
2. Q: What Is the Power Consumption of a Plastic Pelletizing Machine?
Answer: Power consumption is related to the total installed capacity, which is the sum of all motor
power and heating power.
Hourly power consumption can be estimated using a power factor of 0.3 to 0.55. For example, if the total installed
capacity is 120 kW, the hourly power consumption would be between 0.3 × 120 kW and 0.55 × 120 kW, i.e., 36 to 66
kWh.
Factors Affecting Power Consumption
Actual power consumption is related to raw materials, mechanical design, and operation practices. The moisture
content and impurities in the raw material are major factors affecting power consumption.
Well-designed, high-precision processing and assembly, proper drive installation, and reasonable use of heating
elements can save power. Using non-stop production, skilled workers, and reasonable thermostat settings can
effectively save energy.
Power Consumption per Ton
A simple and practical measure is tons of power consumption. For different plastics, power consumption per ton
generally ranges from 280 to 600 kWh. Most plastic granulation equipment consumes about 300 kWh per ton.
WANROOETECH plastic granulation equipment, with its technological advantages, actively explores energy-saving
granulator designs. Compared with similar machinery, it saves about 20% in power consumption per ton, setting an
example for energy efficiency and environmental protection in the industry.
3. Q: What Is the Role of the Die Head in a Plastic Pelletizing Machine?
Answer: The die head directs the plastic material within the extruder, shapes it, and continuously
extrudes it.
A hydraulic screen changer allows you to change the die. When recycling plastic, using different mesh screens
produces plastic pellets of different clarity levels.
As plastic passes through the hydraulic screen changer and perforated plates, it also helps homogenize the plastic.

4. Q: Which Cutting Method Is Best for a Plastic Pelletizing Machine?
Answer: The choice of cutting method depends on the material being processed:
- For PET, PC, PP: Noodle type (strand pelletizing)
- For PE, LLDPE, HDPE, ABS, etc.: Water ring pelletizer
