Waste Apparel Recycling Pelletizing Machine

Product Overview

The waste apparel recycling pelletizing machine is a specialized regeneration pelletizing device developed for PET waste fabrics and garment offcuts, focusing on achieving efficient resource recovery from textile waste. As a customized product, it does not have a fixed price; instead, it is tailor-made according to the customer’s production requirements. It can process various textile waste materials, including polyester garment offcuts, PET carpet fabric, curtain fabric, Oxford cloth scraps, used canvas, and old clothing fragments, helping related enterprises transform waste fabrics that would otherwise be landfilled or incinerated into reusable pelletized raw materials, significantly increasing the added value of solid waste resource utilization.

Technical Principle

This pelletizing machine is compatible with pre-shredded PET fabric scraps and employs a dedicated high-shear single-screw extrusion process. After the fabric pieces enter the barrel, the high-shear screw structure breaks down the fiber structure, while staged heating ensures thorough melting and plasticization, addressing industry challenges such as poor fiber meltability and inadequate plasticization. The equipment features multiple vacuum vent ports, effectively removing dyes, additives, moisture, and volatile odors from the fabric, thereby resolving issues caused by excessive dye and additive use that often lead to smoky, malodorous emissions during production. Subsequently, the material passes through multi-stage filter dies to remove fiber impurities and thread ends, finally being extruded into water-cooled pellets. An optional decolorization pretreatment module can further enhance the appearance of the recycled material, meeting diverse quality requirements for finished pellets.
