Complete PET Bottle Washing & Pelletizing Line Project in Ghana

Q: Can I connect the washing line directly to the pelletizing line?

Yes, this is an 'Integrated Design'. The clean flakes from the washing line can be fed into a silo and then directly into the extruder, saving labor.

Boxin assisted a Ghanaian startup in establishing a complete plastic recycling ecosystem. This integrated line processes loose, unbaled PET bottles directly into high-quality recycled pellets for the local manufacturing industry.

Challenge: Starting from Scratch

As a startup in Ghana, the client faced infrastructure and operational challenges typical of new recycling ventures:

Raw Material Condition: Bottles are collected loose from urban areas, requiring efficient pre-sorting and handling of varied contamination levels.
Technical Gap: Lack of prior experience meant they needed a "foolproof," easy-to-operate system.
End-Product Goal: The market demands ready-to-use pellets, not just flakes, requiring a seamless connection between washing and extrusion.

The Solution: Integrated Line

We delivered a "Turnkey" solution that combines a standard washing line with a single-screw pelletizing system, optimized for stability.

Process Result: Premium Pellets

The system successfully converts dirty, loose bottles into uniform, transparent recycled PET pellets. These pellets are sold directly to local manufacturers for strapping bands and injection molding, realizing the client's goal of a complete value chain.

Transformation Result

Complete value addition: From urban waste to industrial raw material.

FAQ: For Recycling Startups

Q1: Does Boxin provide installation services in Ghana?

A: Yes. We send experienced engineers to your site to guide the installation, commissioning, and training of your local workers. For this Ghana project, our engineer stayed on-site until the production line was running smoothly and the staff were confident.

Q2: Can I connect the washing line directly to the pelletizing line?

A: Yes, this is an "Integrated Design". The clean flakes from the washing line can be fed into a silo and then directly into the extruder. This saves labor (no need to bag flakes and re-open them) and reduces contamination risks.

Q3: What if I have power supply fluctuations?

A: We understand local conditions. Our electrical cabinets use high-quality components (like Siemens/Schneider) and we can advise on necessary voltage stabilizers or generator capacities to ensure your machinery runs safely.

Q4: How much space is needed for this complete line?

A: For a 500-1000kg/h complete washing and pelletizing line, you typically need a factory space of at least 30-50 meters in length. We provide customized layout drawings (CAD) based on your specific building dimensions before you purchase.
