Plastic Recycling Machine

With an increasing environmental conscious approach and eco-friendly industrial practices, plastic scraps recycling is a concept that is rapidly catching on. The development of plastic recycling machine requires a lot of customer's or user's input as they know much better than manufacturers, the tricks to make a machine working the way it should, within its specific field of application and at the same time delivering favorable results.

Plastic recycling systems consist of all the machine that are used for sorting, size reduction, separation washing, rinsing, drying and so on. This recycling is done in various steps:

Sorting: In most of the plastic recycling lines, sorting of scraps is the very first step. This sorting can be manual or automatic. Some of the equipment that are used for sorting:

• Bales Breaker
• Conveyor Belts
• Detectors and Separators ( with different configurations and Trommels)

Size Reduction:  After separation, the plastic scraps are treated for size reduction. The equipment used here are:

• Shredders
• Granulators

Separation: A good separation makes the final product pure and Dry Separation and Wet separation with equipment like:

• Sink-Float Tanks
• Hydrocyclones

Washing: There are different ways of washing a separated plastic. There are some set Pre-Washing systems (according to the scarp types), together with rinsing methods (with Rinse-Dryers) and finally drying. The fianl drying is probably one of the most difficult things to achieve in plastic recycling. It is done by the means of mechanical Centrifuges.

Apart from the above processes, a plastic recycling machine also uses equipment like:

• Classifiers
• Dosing Units
• Mixing Silo
• Agglomerator (densifier)
• Pelletizing Lines
• Polymer Filtration
