What is the output capacity of a PET sheet extrusion line for GCC production?

TZ-Machinery's SWT-75S-1000 PET sheet extrusion line delivers 350-500 kg/h output, producing finished sheet widths up to 800 mm. This capacity is suitable for medium-to-large GCC packaging manufacturers serving food container, cup, and tray markets.

Can a PET sheet extrusion line process recycled PET (rPET) bottle flakes?

Yes. The SWT-75S-1000 features a parallel twin-screw design with a dual-stage vacuum degassing system (thermal pump + Roots pump, 30L/s pumping speed) specifically engineered to remove moisture and volatiles from washed rPET bottle flakes, enabling direct processing without pelletizing.

Do I need a crystallizer for PET sheet extrusion?

Not with TZ-Machinery's planetary twin-screw system. Traditional single-screw lines require a separate crystallizer and dryer for PET processing, but our parallel twin-screw design integrates dehumidification and devolatilization within the extrusion process, eliminating the need for a standalone crystallizer and reducing both capital cost and factory floor space.

What is the delivery time for a PET sheet extrusion line to Saudi Arabia or the UAE?

Standard delivery time is 60-90 days from order confirmation, including manufacturing, quality testing, and sea freight to Jebel Ali (UAE) or Dammam (Saudi Arabia) ports. Installation and commissioning takes an additional 10-15 days on-site with TZ-Machinery engineers.

Does TZ-Machinery provide installation and training in the GCC?

Yes. TZ-Machinery dispatches 1-2 engineers for on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training at your GCC factory. Training covers machine operation, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting, and safety protocols. Remote video support is also available post-installation.

What certifications does the PET sheet extrusion line carry for GCC import?

TZ-Machinery PET sheet extrusion lines are CE certified and can be supplied with SASO-compliant documentation for Saudi Arabia, including SASO CoC (Certificate of Conformity) and Saber platform registration. Electrical components (Siemens motors, Schneider/Rexroth inverters) meet IEC standards accepted across all GCC states.

What is the difference between single screw and twin screw for PET sheet extrusion?

Single screw extruders require pre-crystallized and pre-dried PET feedstock and typically deliver lower output (200-300 kg/h). Twin screw extruders like the SWT-75S handle undried rPET flakes directly, achieve 350-500 kg/h output, provide better devolatilization, and produce sheets with fewer black spots and higher clarity due to superior mixing and self-cleaning screw geometry.

How much factory space does a PET sheet extrusion line require?

The SWT-75S-1000 line occupies approximately 30 m (L) × 6 m (W) of floor space, totaling roughly 180 m² for the main line. Including raw material storage, finished roll storage, and operator walkways, a minimum factory bay of 300-400 m² is recommended with a ceiling height of at least 5 meters.
