A biodegradable material producer in Thailand used conventional extrusion equipment to compound PBAT with high starch loading for compostable packaging granules. Their old machine suffered severe volatile residue, uneven filler dispersion, frequent yellowing of pellets and scrap rate up to 7~9%.

Our engineering team designed a customized 65mm co-rotating twin screw pelletizing line with optimized screw combination, dual-stage high vacuum devolatilization and multi-gravimetric side feeding system. Before shipment, we completed full material trial in our factory with the customer’s raw material samples.
