Top 10 Compact Pellet Mills with Dry Separators in Singapore, 2025

If you're in the e-waste game, you've probably heard of this workhorse. The WCBD-2000A isn't just a pellet mill—it's a full-on circuit board recycling powerhouse with a built-in dry separator, and it's tailor-made for Singapore's bustling tech recycling scene. Let's break it down: first, it shreds old circuit boards into tiny bits, then uses air classification and electrostatic separation (the "dry" part) to yank out copper, aluminum, and other metals from the plastic and resin. No water, no mess, just clean separation.

What really sells it? That 500-2000kg/hour capacity. Whether you're a small workshop handling a few hundred kilos a day or a mid-sized facility scaling up, this machine adjusts. And at just 3.5m x 2.8m in footprint, it's proof that big performance doesn't need big space. Local recyclers love it for processing everything from old smartphones to server motherboards—Singapore's e-waste mountain is no match for this one.

Ever wished a recycling machine could "multitask" like your favorite coworker? Meet the CG-DS 300. This compact granulator is the Swiss Army knife of dry separation pellet mills, handling plastic, rubber, and even small metal scraps with zero fuss. Its secret? A dual-chamber design: first, a high-torque shredder turns waste into uniform flakes, then a dry air separator sifts out impurities—think dust, lightweight plastics, or non-metallic bits—before pelleting.

At 2.2m x 1.8m, it's small enough to tuck into the corner of a warehouse, but don't let size fool you. It cranks out 300-500kg of pellets per hour, and the dry process means you skip the hassle of hoses, drains, or water treatment systems. Perfect for SMEs in sectors like packaging or automotive, where mixed plastic waste is a daily headache. One local plastics recycler in Woodlands even called it "our silent partner"—and honestly, who doesn't want a machine that works quietly and efficiently?

Let's talk about the little guy with a big heart: the DP-MG Pro from EcoTech Singapore. Designed specifically for tight spaces and low-volume, high-precision recycling, this mini granulator is a hit with startups and labs. It's barely bigger than a large fridge (1.5m x 1.2m) but uses advanced dry separation tech to sort even fine particles—down to 0.5mm. That's a big deal for industries like electronics, where tiny metal shavings or ceramic bits need to be separated cleanly.

What makes it stand out? Energy efficiency. It runs on just 5.5kW of power, so your utility bills won't spike, and the dry process means you're not paying for water or wastewater permits. We spoke to a lab in Biopolis that uses it to recycle leftover lithium battery casings—they love that it produces ultra-consistent pellets, which are easier to resell to manufacturers. For small-scale operations, this one's a no-brainer.

Cable recycling can feel like untangling a nightmare—until you meet the CRG-D 500. This machine is all about turning scrap cables (think old power cords, data cables, even thick industrial wires) into copper-rich pellets and clean plastic granules, all with dry separation. Here's how it works: first, a precision cutter strips the insulation, then a granulator crushes the mix into flakes, and finally, a dry air classifier separates the metal (copper, aluminum) from the plastic. No sticky water, no corroded machinery—just pure, reusable materials.

With a capacity of 500kg/hour and a footprint of 3m x 2.5m, it's ideal for cable recyclers in areas like Kallang, where space is at a premium. One operator we talked to mentioned that before switching to the CRG-D 500, they spent hours manually sorting metals from plastic; now, the machine does it in minutes. Plus, the dry process means their copper pellets are drier and fetch a better price at scrap yards. Win-win!

For the heavy hitters—those churning through tons of waste daily—the HSD-1500 is a beast in a (relatively) small package. With a 1500kg/hour capacity, it's built for mid-to-large facilities, but at 4m x 3m, it's still compact enough for Singapore's industrial parks. What sets it apart? Speed and precision. Its 3-stage dry separation system uses a combination of sieving, air flow, and magnetic separation to pull out metals, plastics, and even glass from mixed waste streams—perfect for general recycling plants handling everything from appliance parts to construction debris.

Local recycling giant GreenCycle SG recently added three of these to their Tuas plant, and they're raving about the results: "We used to have two separate machines for shredding and separating. Now, the HSD-1500 does it all in one line, cutting labor costs by 30%." And since it's a dry process, they've slashed water usage by 80% compared to their old wet-separation setup. For businesses scaling up, this is the machine to watch.

Who says compact can't be portable? The PHBM-004 is a game-changer for on-site recycling—think construction sites, small workshops, or even events where waste needs to be processed immediately. This nifty machine (just 1.2m x 0.8m!) isn't just a pellet mill; it also doubles as a briquette press, turning metal powder, sawdust, or plastic scraps into dense, easy-to-transport briquettes. And yes, it uses dry separation to clean the material before pressing—no messy cleanup required.

A construction company in Sengkang recently used it to process metal shavings from a renovation project: "Instead of hauling bags of loose scrap to a recycler, we pressed it into briquettes on-site. They're denser, so we save on transport costs, and the dry separation means no rusty water leaking in the truck." It's not the fastest (100-200kg/hour), but for mobility and versatility, it's unbeatable.

With Singapore's electric vehicle and gadget boom, lithium battery recycling is hotter than ever—and the LBDG-800 is leading the charge. This machine is specifically designed to handle lithium-ion batteries (think old phone batteries, EV packs, or power tools) without the fire risk of traditional shredders. It uses low-speed, high-torque crushing to break down batteries, then a dry separator with inert gas purging to safely separate lithium, cobalt, and nickel from plastic casings. All in a compact 3m x 2.2m frame.

Sustainability firm ReVolt Asia calls it "a lifesaver": "Lithium batteries are tricky—they're flammable and toxic if not handled right. The LBDG-800's dry process avoids water (which can react with lithium) and its gas-purged separator keeps fumes in check. Plus, it recovers 95% of valuable metals—way higher than our old setup." For businesses jumping into the battery recycling wave, this is a must-have.

Plastic recyclers, listen up: the PPCG-600 isn't just a pellet mill—it's a full dry-process system that includes a built-in pneumatic conveyor. Here's how it works: after shredding and dry separation, the machine uses air pressure to transport plastic pellets directly to storage bins or packaging lines, cutting out the need for manual handling. At 2.8m x 2m, it's compact, but it handles 600kg/hour of plastic waste—think PET bottles, HDPE containers, or even mixed plastic films.

A plastic recycling co-op in Jurong East told us, "The conveyor alone saved us hiring two extra workers. Now, pellets go straight from the machine to the bagger—no spills, no lifting." And since it's a dry process, they don't have to dry plastic flakes before pelleting, which cuts energy costs. If you're drowning in plastic waste and tight on labor, this one's a no-brainer.

Not every recycler needs the WCBD-2000A's 2000kg/hour capacity—and that's where the WCBD-300A shines. This smaller sibling (300-500kg/hour) is perfect for startups or workshops focusing on niche e-waste, like old computers, printers, or small circuit boards. It uses the same dry separation tech as its big brother—electrostatic and air classification—but in a 2.5m x 2m package that fits in a garage-sized space.

We visited a startup in Yishun using this machine to recycle vintage gaming consoles, and they couldn't be happier: "We started with just 200kg of e-waste a day. The WCBD-300A handles it easily, and the dry process means we don't need a drain or water tank. Now we're expanding to 400kg, and it's still keeping up." For small-scale e-waste warriors, this is the entry point you've been waiting for.

Last but never least: the MMS-1000, the ultimate multitasker for mixed waste. Whether you're feeding it cable scraps, circuit boards, plastic, or even small metal parts, this machine sorts, shreds, and pellets with ease. Its secret? A modular dry separation system that lets you swap out sieves and air flow settings for different materials—no need to buy separate machines for each waste stream. At 3.2m x 2.5m, it's a bit bigger than some compact models, but its versatility makes it worth every inch.

A general recycling facility in Pasir Ris summed it up: "One day we're processing old cables, the next we're doing circuit boards from office printers. The MMS-1000 adapts in minutes, and the dry process keeps our utility bills low. It's like having five machines in one." For businesses handling diverse waste streams, this is the Swiss Army knife you need.
