Equipment

APET/PETG/CPET/PLA Twin-Screw Sheet Extrusion Line (No Crystallizer & Dehumidifier, Dual Vents)

Designed for APET, PETG, CPET and PLA sheet production, this twin-screw line requires no crystallizer or dehumidifier and produces clear, bubble-free and uniform sheet for various thermoforming applic

Product Advantages

  • The multi-stage vacuum system with dual venting eliminates the need for crystallizing and dehumidifying equipment, reducing drying-related investment and overall energy consumption by approximately 30%–40%.
  • Supports the direct processing of up to 100% recycled PET bottle flakes, providing broad raw-material compatibility and helping reduce material costs.
  • Short material residence time helps minimize PET hydrolysis and ensures excellent transparency, toughness and thickness uniformity.
  • The independently controlled three-roll servo calender provides efficient cooling and forming for improved surface gloss and flatness.
  • Siemens PLC and servo control systems provide intuitive operation, precise control and reliable long-term production.

Applications

  • Thermoformed Food Packaging Boxes
  • Fruit and Vegetable Trays
  • Egg Trays
  • Electronic Packaging Inserts

Product Details

The complete line mainly consists of a parallel twin-screw extruder, feeding system, hydraulic screen changer, melt pump, T-die, L-type three-roll calender, haul-off and edge-trimming unit, coating and drying unit, edge-recycling system and winding unit.


The main extruder is equipped with a two-stage high-vacuum degassing system that removes moisture and volatile substances directly during melting and plasticizing. This eliminates the crystallizing and dehumidifying system normally required by conventional PET single-screw extrusion lines.


The line supports virgin PET resin, recycled PET bottle flakes and biodegradable PLA materials. Key components, including the screws and calender rolls, are precision-machined. Sheet width, thickness, output capacity and downstream configuration can be customized according to the customer’s material and thermoforming requirements.
