Special Industrial Cable Manufacturer
Customer Industry
Special-industrial-cable manufacturer, producing robot drag-chain cables, PV DC cables and weather-resistant cables for construction machinery. Products serve automation equipment, new-energy PV and mining machinery with large-volume overseas exports.
Project Background
Extrusion lines generated large volumes of trim-off waste, head material and trial-run defective cables. Cable-jacket materials are high-cost modified TPU, cross-linked polyolefin and weather-resistant TPE. Previously all plastic waste was sent to external recyclers, leading to severe loss of high-value materials. Third-party re-pellets suffered performance degradation and could not be reused for special-cable production. Overseas buyers enforced ESG, carbon-footprint and REACH audits requiring an in-plant closed-loop plastic-recycling workflow.

02 · Onsite Application Scenario
Installed Inside the Extrusion Workshop
The recycling system is installed inside the special-cable extrusion workshop and connects to waste outlets of multiple extrusion lines. It processes extrusion trim waste, head material and trial-run defective jacket cables from robot drag-chain cables, PV cables and construction-machinery cables.
Waste is ground and pelletized on site. Recycled pellets are pneumatically conveyed through sealed pipelines back to extruders for proportionate blending into cable jacket & insulation production.

What the Customer Gained
Lower Material Loss
High-value special-jacket waste is recycled on site, eliminating labor & warehouse costs for packing and outbound transport. Overall waste-recovery rate reaches above 94%.
Performance Retained
Recycled pellets retain key material performance and can be proportionally reused for selected special-cable jackets, cutting consumption of high-cost modified compounds.
Elastic-Material Friendly
Anti-wrap design for elastic materials plus fully enclosed structure controls dust and odor, improving workshop conditions and enabling successful overseas ESG & green-factory audits.
Audit-Ready Records
The system stores full recycling log data for customer carbon-footprint and REACH supplier documentation submission.
“Jacket compounds for robot and PV special cables are quite expensive. Extrusion trim and trial-run waste represented painful material loss. KexLink’s closed-loop recycling system is well adapted for elastic jacketing materials and solves the long-standing TPU blade-wrapping issue. Waste is converted into qualified re-pellets inside the plant, saving costly raw materials. Complete recycling records satisfy overseas customer ESG audit requirements.”
