As highlighted by Market Prospects in their article “Understanding the Granulation Process,” plastic granulation is an essential process in manufacturing and recycling, offering both economic and environmental benefits. Granulation reduces plastic into smaller, reusable particles for new products or raw materials, improving efficiency in plastic production and resource management.

How Plastic Granulation Works

Plastic injection molding can face challenges like cooling spots, skinning, and exhaust limitations, which may result in bubbles and radial flow patterns. A twin-screw extruder addresses these issues by providing:

• Enhanced plasticizing capabilities for improved material consistency.
• Vacuum exhaust devices to remove excess water and impurities.
• Molecular-level dispersion for high-quality plastic granules.
