Squeeze-Dry Pelletizing Line — A Game-Changer for Wet Film Recycling

Turn Wet Film Into Dry Profit With Genius Squeeze Dryer Integrated Recycling Line

Join us at Genius , K-SHOW — Hall 12 Stand A15, October 8–15, 2025, Düsseldorf, Germany.



Conventional shredder–extruder lines struggle with washed film scrap containing 50% moisture—causing steam spikes, wasted energy, and brittle pellets.
Genius Machinery’s patented Squeeze-Dry Pelletizing Line turns that problem into a single-step, compact, and energy-saving solution:

  • Up to 30% lower energy use (kWh/kg)
  • 40% shorter line length
  • High-grade pellet output

Why Moisture Is the Hidden Cost Driver

  • Energy drain – Extra kWh burned to evaporate surface water
  • Quality loss – Steam flashes create bubbles and reduce IV
  • Footprint creep – Separate dryers and conveyors stretch your line and CAPEX
  • Key takeaway: Removing water before melting is the most effective way to reduce OPEX and improve pellet quality.


Squeeze-Dry → Extrude → Pelletize Architecture

Dual Function Within One Screw, Powered By Single Motor. Significant Energy Savings
