Waste drip irrigation tape can vary significantly depending on where it comes from. Clean production waste and used agricultural drip tape have very different recycling requirements. Therefore, the correct recycling process should be selected according to the actual material condition.
The HUAYA recycling line integrates the main recycling processes into one complete system:
Waste Drip Tape → Crushing → Washing → Dewatering & Drying → Extrusion & Filtration → Pelletizing → Recycled PE Pellets
The washing section can be configured with floating washing, friction washing, rinsing and mechanical dewatering. For materials with a higher level of contamination, additional washing processes can be selected. After cleaning and dewatering, the material enters the extrusion system for plasticizing, degassing and melt filtration before being processed into recycled pellets.
The complete line adopts a modular design concept, allowing customers to select the appropriate recycling process according to their actual waste material rather than investing in unnecessary equipment.
Clean Production Scrap
Crushing → Extrusion → Filtration → Pelletizing
Suitable for relatively clean waste and scraps generated during drip tape production.
Used Agricultural Drip Tape
Crushing → Washing → Dewatering → Extrusion → Filtration → Pelletizing
Suitable for used drip irrigation tape collected from farms containing soil, sand and other common contaminants.
Heavily Contaminated Drip Tape
Crushing → Multi-stage Washing → Dewatering & Drying → Extrusion → Filtration → Pelletizing
Suitable for agricultural drip tape requiring a more intensive cleaning process. Hot washing and additional drying can be configured according to the actual material condition.
Waste Drip Irrigation Tape · Drip Tape Production Scrap · Waste Drip Irrigation Pipe · Applicable PE Irrigation Waste
The recycled pellets can be used as recycled PE raw material for further plastic processing. The actual application and addition ratio depend on the original material composition, contamination level, recycling process and quality requirements of the final product.
——Turn Waste Drip Tape into Recycled PE Pellets
HUAYA Drip Irrigation Tape Recycling Washing & Pelletizing Production Line provides a complete recycling solution for waste drip irrigation tape, drip irrigation pipe, production scraps and other applicable PE irrigation waste.
The complete line can be customized with crushing, washing, dewatering, drying, extrusion, filtration and pelletizing systems according to the condition of the customer's waste material and required final product.
From waste drip tape to recycled PE pellets, HUAYA provides a complete recycling solution according to your raw material condition, required capacity and final application.
From crushing and washing to dewatering, extrusion and pelletizing, the complete line can be configured according to the customer's waste material condition.
Suitable for recycling waste drip irrigation tape, drip irrigation pipe and production scraps.
Pre-washing, floating washing, friction washing and rinsing can be configured to clean agricultural drip tape waste before pelletizing.
For heavily contaminated waste materials, an additional hot washing system can be configured according to the actual recycling requirement.
Mechanical dewatering reduces surface moisture of washed materials before the extrusion and pelletizing process.
Degassing and melt filtration systems can be configured to support stable recycled pellet production.
The production line is customized according to material condition, contamination level, required capacity and final pellet application.
Low-speed, high-torque shredding with hydraulic feeding and automatic overload reverse protection provides reliable size reduction for waste plastic materials.

Customer Case
In 2025, HWYAA partnered with a top Uzbek water-saving irrigation enterprise. Plagued by inefficiencies of traditional manual punching, the enterprise inspected HWYAA's pre-drilling line in China, confirmed satisfaction on-site, and signed the contract immediately.
HWYAA delivered the equipment as scheduled, with on-site installation, commissioning and full training provided by our engineers. The client praised: "Stable operation, easy operation, exceeding expectations" — its productivity and competitiveness improved significantly.
Driven by proven benefits and trust, the client plans to purchase all available stock.
Q1. Can this line recycle used drip irrigation tape collected from farms?
Yes. The line can be configured with crushing, washing, dewatering and pelletizing systems according to the condition and contamination level of the collected material.
Q2. Do I need a washing line for clean production scraps?
Not necessarily. The configuration depends on the cleanliness and condition of the waste material. Please send us photos or videos of your material for evaluation.
Q3. Is hot washing necessary?
Hot washing is an optional process. The appropriate washing process should be selected according to the contamination condition of the waste material.
Q4. What capacity can you provide?
The required capacity should be determined together with the raw material condition and complete line configuration.
Q5. Can recycled pellets be used again for drip irrigation tape production?
The application and addition ratio of recycled pellets depend on the material composition, contamination level, recycling process and required quality of the final drip irrigation product. We recommend evaluating the recycled material before determining the formulation.
