Buyer's guides, process explainers and industry news for anyone specifying plastic recycling and extrusion equipment — how shredders, washing lines and pelletizing lines are configured around a given feedstock, and which plastics can realistically be recycled at scale.
14 Aug A plastic recycling business earns its margin in five specific places — the buying spread, yield, the grade mix it can certify, the hours the line genuinely runs, and how cheaply its residues leave the site. This article works through each one using published SUHUI washing and pelletizing line figures, and explains why four of the five are operating disciplines rather than market conditions.

14 Aug Whether plastic recycling is profitable is an output of four numbers, not a property of the industry. Two of them belong to your market and two come from the equipment. This article gives the published energy, water and labour figures behind conversion cost per tonne, a break-even worksheet with the market-dependent rows left for you to fill, the variables that move the answer most, and the situations where the maths does not work at all.

14 Aug Setting up a plastic recycling plant is seven decisions taken in order — contracted feedstock, capacity, process route, building and utilities, equipment, installation and staffing. This guide works through each one using published SUHUI washing and pelletizing line configurations, so footprint, clear height, installed power, steam demand and operators per shift can be checked against real figures rather than estimated.

13 Aug A washing line is six or seven machines that have to hand material to each other continuously, and almost everything that goes wrong after commissioning happens in the handover rather than inside a machine. This guide covers the six checks that separate a line supplier from a machine supplier — what sits in the gaps between machines, which stages are built in-house, why a line rating is a bottleneck figure rather than a sum, how a whole-line trial is measured as mass balance, who owns a fault that crosses two stages, and whether water, steam and effluent are inside the scope of supply.

13 Aug Plastic recycling equipment selection is a sequence, not a catalogue choice. This guide works through the four inputs that decide a machine list — which polymer you have and what shape it arrives in, how contaminated it honestly is, the throughput you can actually feed, and whether you sell flakes, pellets or finished product — then routes each answer to the size reduction, washing, pelletizing, auxiliary and extrusion equipment it implies, with the six mistakes that recur most often.

13 Aug The numbered triangle on a plastic product is a resin identification code, not a recycling promise. This article explains where the codes came from, what each of the seven stands for, why the same number is collected differently from country to country, and what an industrial sorting line actually reads instead of the printed mark.

10 Aug A plastic recycling machine price is a band, not a number. This guide publishes SUHUI's own factory-direct FOB ranges by machine type, explains the five variables that decide where a project lands inside its band, lists what an FOB figure leaves out, and gives the published utility and labour figures that decide your real cost per ton once the line is running.
