PVC Pelletizing Production Process

The complete manufacturing process follows these steps:

Step 1 – Raw Material Preparation

PVC resin is mixed with:

· Stabilizers

· Plasticizers

· Lubricants

· Calcium Carbonate

· Processing Aids

· Pigments

Step 2 – High-Speed Mixing

Materials are heated and mixed uniformly in the hot mixer before entering the cooling mixer.

Step 3 – Automatic Feeding

The mixed material is automatically transferred into the twin screw extruder.

Step 4 – Plasticizing and Extrusion

Inside the extruder:

· Heating

· Mixing

· Plasticizing

· Compression

· Homogenization

The PVC compound becomes a uniform molten material.

Step 5 – Melt Filtration

The hydraulic screen changer removes contaminants to ensure smooth extrusion.

Step 6 – Strand Extrusion

Molten PVC exits the die head as multiple strands.

Step 7 – Cooling

The strands are cooled in a stainless-steel water tank.

Step 8 – Air Drying

Surface moisture is removed before pellet cutting.

Step 9 – Pellet Cutting

The strand pelletizer cuts the cooled strands into cylindrical PVC pellets.

Step 10 – Screening

Qualified pellets are separated from dust and oversized particles.

Step 11 – Packaging

Finished pellets are weighed, bagged, and prepared for transportation.
