Drip Irrigation Tape Recycling Solution
Yunnan Dianrun Water-Saving Equipment Co., Ltd. is a large-scale manufacturer of agricultural drip irrigation tape. During daily production, the company generated a significant amount of off-spec drip irrigation tape, process edge trim, and runner scrap.
To maintain strict product quality, all batches that failed inspection were collected and repelletized, ensuring only qualified products are delivered to customers. However, these waste materials occupied valuable storage space and kept overall production costs high. The customer needed a more efficient way to manage production waste while maintaining strict quality control standards.
Dianrun partnered with HS Machinery and installed an integrated recycling and pelletizing system for drip irrigation tape waste. The equipment enables on-site recycling of defective materials and converts them into clean PE recycled pellets for reuse. This closed-loop approach reduces reliance on virgin raw materials and improves material utilization. The system is designed to match the characteristics of drip irrigation tape, offering stable output and easy operation, and can be directly integrated into the existing production process.
The solution helped Dianrun reduce waste accumulation and lower raw material costs. More than 500 tons of scrap material are recycled annually, generating significant cost savings and improving overall profitability.
