With the large-scale generation of plastic waste, plastic recycling has become an important issue in the field of environmental protection. In order to effectively process and reuse waste plastics, various plastic recycling equipment has emerged. In this paper, we will introduce four different types of plastic recycling equipment, including shredders, washing equipment, dewatering equipment and granulators.
Plastic crushing machine
The importance of the plastic crushing machine as the first process of plastic recycling equipment cannot be overstated. Discarded plastic products are usually bulky and not conducive to storage and transportation. Kunststoffzerkleinerungsmaschinen are able to turn these large plastic products into small, manageable pieces, creating conditions for subsequent processing stages. After the waste plastic products are crushed, the surface area increases, which facilitates more efficient processing and sorting by other equipment.
Plastic washing machine
Washing equipment plays a vital role in plastic recycling equipment. Waste plastic products are often used over a period of time and may have impurities such as dirt and grease attached to the surface. After being cut into small pieces or “flakes” by a plastic crusher, it is often necessary to wash the material in a washing machine to remove any remaining dirt or adhesion.
This is because these contaminants not only affect the quality of the recycled plastic but may also affect subsequent processing and reuse, reducing its usability. Cleaners and sanitizers are often added to this process to improve cleanliness.
Plastic dewatering machine
Dewatering equipment plays a key role in plastic recycling equipment. Moisture can have a negative impact on the reprocessing and pelletizing of plastics. Dewatering equipment is used to dewater the cleaned plastic granules.
During the cleaning process, the plastic granules adsorb a certain amount of water, which, if not removed, can affect the subsequent pelletizing process. With dewatering equipment, moisture can be effectively removed to ensure that the plastic pellets maintain good physical properties during subsequent processing.
Kunststoff-Granuliermaschine
Pelletizing reclaimed plastic is the final step in most recycling processes. Converting post-consumer plastics into pellets allows for easier distribution and remanufacturing, and ultimately facilitates the speed and effectiveness of reintroducing recycled plastics into industrial manufacturing.
Plastic pellets that have been crushed, washed and dewatered are heated and extruded into a uniform granular material. These pellets can subsequently be used to produce new plastic products such as plastic sheets, pipes, containers and so on.
