Today we’re testing the Squeezer – Plastic film densifier machine, model JGJ-320.
This powerful unit is designed to dewater and densify soft plastics like film, woven bags, and jumbo bags. Let’s take a look at the machine in full — solid frame, compact footprint, and built for heavy-duty recycling lines.
Let’s take a closer look at the electrical control. Designed for user-friendly operation, it allows precise adjustments to parameters like screw speed and temperature, ensuring optimal performance for various materials.
Now, witness the machine in action. Notice the water being expelled through the drainage outlets, showcasing the machine’s high dewatering efficiency.
As the wet plastic material enters the hopper, it’s guided into the screw press chamber.
Here, a powerful screw mechanism rotates, applying pressure to effectively squeeze out moisture.
Simultaneously, the material is heated, aiding in moisture reduction and densification. The result is a semi-dry, compacted output ready for the next stage in the recycling process.
Here’s the outcome—densified plastic material with moisture content reduced to below 3%. The material is not only dry, but densified — typically reaching a bulk density of up to 300 kilograms per cubic meter, depending on the type of plastic.
Perfect for storage, transport, or going straight into your pelletizing machine.
Big difference, right? That’s the Squeezer – Plastic film densifier machine at work.
INQUIRIES
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the JGJ-320 squeezer process?
The JGJ-320 is designed for soft plastics: plastic film, woven bags, jumbo bags, and similar flexible materials. Wet material enters the hopper and is guided into the screw press chamber, where a rotating screw squeezes out moisture while heat aids drying. It suits washed film that needs dewatering before pelletizing.
How dry and how dense is the squeezer output?
The machine reduces moisture content to below 3% and compacts material to a bulk density of up to 300 kg/m³, depending on the plastic type. The output is semi-dry and densified, which is ideal for storage, transport, or feeding directly into a pelletizing machine without further drying.
How does the squeezer fit into a film recycling line?
It typically sits after the washing and mechanical dewatering stages: washed film feeds into the squeezer hopper, and the densified output goes straight to pelletizing. Because it both dewaters and densifies, it can replace or complement a centrifugal dryer plus agglomerator setup in film recycling lines.
What power and controls does the machine have?
The electrical control panel allows precise adjustment of screw speed and temperature for different materials. Exact motor ratings depend on configuration, so plan for three-phase industrial power. The solid frame and compact footprint make it suitable for integration into heavy-duty recycling lines.
What maintenance does the film densifier require?
Regularly inspect the screw and press chamber for wear, check the drainage outlets for blockages, and verify the temperature controls and heating elements. Keep the electrical panel clean and dry. Because the screw handles wet, abrasive film, monitor wear parts and replace them before output moisture starts rising.
What capacity can the JGJ-320 handle?
Throughput depends on material type, incoming moisture level, and screw speed settings. As a rule, size the squeezer to match your washing line’s output so it never bottlenecks the line. Share your film type and target throughput with ASG to confirm the right configuration.
