Film and Drip Tape Washing, Recycling and Granulation Line
A washing, drying and pelletising line that turns used mulch film and retrieved drip tape back into clean pellets for re-use.
RAL 5021 · semi-matt finishProduct introduction
How the Film and Drip Tape Washing, Recycling and Granulation Line is engineered, and which sub-assemblies protect the performance your customers actually buy.
Drip tape and mulch film are both made from polyethylene, and both are usually collected dirty. Recovering that material closes the loop on resin cost, but only if the sand, soil and organic matter are removed before pelletising.
The BENK MACHINE recycling line starts with a heavy duty crusher, then uses high speed friction washing and flotation separation to strip soil and debris, followed by mechanical dewatering and hot air drying. The clean flakes are fed to a pelletising extruder with either strand or water ring cutting. Washing capacity is 500 or 1000 kg per hour and granulation capacity is 300, 400 or 600 kg per hour.

Technical advantages
Every sub-assembly below is selected to protect the performance your customers buy.
Built for dirty material
The crusher and washer are designed for film and tape that arrives with soil and organic residue attached.
Abrasion resistant
Wear resistant rotor and chamber materials extend service life on abrasive agricultural waste.
Selectable wash stages
One or more rinse stages are chosen according to how contaminated the incoming material is.
Controlled moisture
Dewatering plus pipeline drying brings the moisture content down to the level the pelletiser needs.
Choice of cutting method
Strand or water ring cutting is selected to suit the required pellet shape and downstream use.
Closes the material loop
Pellets can be re-used in drip tape production, which reduces raw material cost and waste.

Why buy from BENK MACHINE
Extrusion specialists, not traders
BENK MACHINE designs and builds extrusion and drip irrigation equipment in Zhangjiagang with an in-house R and D and process team, so machine selection is matched to your resin and product instead of a catalogue number.
Evidence before shipment
Every machine is assembled and run in our works. You receive trial video, gauge and output records, and are welcome to attend the factory acceptance test.
Total cost, not lowest price
Energy efficient drives, permanent magnet motors and optimised heating reduce kWh per tonne, which usually matters more over five years than the initial purchase price.
Real commissioning support
Our engineers install, commission, train your operators and stay involved until the machine hits the specified output and quality on your material.
Spares and response
Critical spares are stocked for fast dispatch, and the Siemens Ethernet control platform allows remote diagnosis before a service visit is needed.
Upgrades as you grow
Co-extrusion, gauge control, automation and downstream equipment can be added later, protecting your original investment.
