BKG® High-Throughput Polyolefin Recycling Lines

BKG® High-Throughput Polyolefin Recycling Lines

Together with our strategic partner FIMIC, we have developed three high-throughput polyolefin recycling line concepts for 4 – 6 to/h.

Recycling - It's better together

Driving Innovation Through Strategic Industry Collaboration

At Nordson BKG® and FIMIC, we believe that collaboration between industry leaders drives innovation more effectively and faster than competition alone. By working together, we accelerate progress and deliver superior results in a shorter timeframe.

Comprehensive, Cost-Efficient Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

We provide end-to-end solutions designed to meet the unique needs of our customers. Our approach enhances product quality while minimizing operational costs—ensuring maximum value and efficiency.

High-Performance Plastic Recycling with Exceptional Output

Our advanced polyolefin recycling systems process a minimum of 4 tons per hour of post-consumer plastics, delivering high-quality filtration and uniform pellet consistency. This ensures optimal performance for downstream applications and supports a circular economy.

Key Features

of the integrated systems


  • Complete Solution: Seamless integration from twin-screw adaptor flange to underwater pelletizer.
  • High Performance: Minimum throughput of 4 t/h with filtration precision down to 100 –150 μm.
  • Automation & Efficiency: Intelligent pump control, modular system design, and minimal operator involvement work together to maximize performance and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Meanwhile, the fully automated, intelligent venting process ensures consistent product quality - even during filter changes - by eliminating defects.
  • Thermal Management: Innovative design strategies, including mobile components and thermal elongation adaptors, maintain system stability under high-temperature conditions for high-capacity lines.

Three Polyolefin Recycling Line Concepts

for throughputs of four to six tons per hour.


Three lines. Three paths to plastics recycling excellence.

Each solutions integrates BKG® gear pumps, polymer valves, and underwater pelletizing systems, complemented by a FIMIC® melt filter.

Choose the polymer processing flow that best fits your production and discover how it can maximize efficiency and product quality.

DO-Line

Discontinuous Operation


  • Pressure consistency by using intelligent pump control
  • Lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the market by fastest filter exchange and cost for filter media
  • Highest capacity throughput in one line reduces investments
  • Rheologically optimized concept throughout the line prevents degradation and end-quality defects
  • Lowest impact for operator intervention by having the highest level of process automation
  • High level of automation drives safe process performance and supports less operator intervention
  • Extended flexibility in case of maintenance (pull screw) by using modular equipment
  • Prevents tension of line equipment in case of unequal heat extension by using flexible adjusting extension adaptors

CO-Line

Continuous Operation


  • Continuous operation - Screen change possible during production - without line shutdowns
  • High-level end-product quality by using fully automated, pressure-adjusted venting after the screen exchange all the time
  • Pressure consistency by using intelligent pump control
  • Lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the market by fastest filter exchange and cost for filter media
