Pelletizing machine plastic is a common industrial equipment used to process waste plastic into granular materials for subsequent processing or reuse. However, in the process of plastic granulation, the phenomenon of hollow granules sometimes occurs, which affects the quality and application of granules. In this article, we will analyze the reasons for the hollow granules and propose corresponding solutions, and at the same time introduce you to a good quality and low-price plastic granulator.
Causes of hollow granules
Improper temperature control
In the production process of pelletizing machine plastic, temperature control is one of the important factors affecting the quality of granules. If the temperature is too high or uneven, it will lead to insufficient melting of the pellets in the formation process, thus causing the pellets to be hollow.
Unstable extrusion pressure
Unstable extrusion pressure can result in the plastic material not escaping gases easily during the extrusion process, resulting in the formation of hollow pellets. This can be caused by factors such as pelletizing machine plastic failure, poor material flow, or an unstable extrusion mechanism.
Material quality problems
The use of plastic raw materials of inconsistent quality or containing inappropriate additives may result in hollow pellets. Undesirable raw materials may produce air bubbles or an uneven melt state, which can affect the denseness of the pellets.
Solutions for hollow plastics
Optimize temperature control
Reasonably set the temperature of the heating zone of the pelletizing machine plastic to ensure that the plastic material is fully melted and to avoid excessive high or low temperatures. In addition, adopting gradual temperature rise and fall will help reduce the occurrence of pellet hollowing.
Stabilise extrusion pressure
Regularly check the condition of the pelletizing machine plastic to ensure its stable operation. Adjust the extrusion pressure and extrusion speed according to different plastic materials to prevent gas from being trapped in the extrusion process.
Choose high-quality raw materials
Select stable and reliable quality plastic raw materials, and avoid using raw materials with excessive adulteration. Carry out raw material pre-treatment to ensure that the impurities and air bubbles in the raw material are effectively removed.
