1
The collection and sorting,
which can be done manually or using machinery. At this stage, plastic products are cleared from the remnants of paper, metal, rubber, glass and graded on uncolored and colored materials.
2
Harvesting (crushing)
At this stage, the plastic materials are ground using complex shredders and crushers, which is a hydraulic press with a powerful cutting blades sieve. After stage crushing and sieving, plastic grit is washed in a washing and drying complex
3
Agglomeration
a step in which sintering occurs in the plastic chips from the clots. For this purpose, the machine-agglomerators. After the sintering process the plastic becomes suitable for reuse.
4
Granulation
terminating the process of processing, during which the plastic is passed through a filter having holes of a certain size and is granulated
Basic Materials Processing LLC Polymers: Polyethylene linear low and high pressure, cold-resistant polypropylene, high-impact polystyrene, polyethylene pipe
Scope of the secondary granules
The pellets are used to produce a variety of products. For example, about 70% recycled PET is used in Europe for the manufacture of polyester fibers. Larger fibers are often insulation for sleeping bags, sportswear and even filler for toys. Because the fibers of small diameter produced artificial hair, which becomes the basis of knitted sweaters, scarves, shirts. So, for the manufacture of artificial wool sweaters it takes just 25 recycled bottles. Moreover, such material is also used in the manufacture of furniture and utensils.
Classic products are recycled strips and sheets, which are made of plastic boxes. Plastic banding is mainly designed for industrial purposes. However, it competes with the same ribbons of polypropylene and even steel.
Recycling plastics can not only reduce the cost of production of various goods, but also save the environment. Thus the production of plastic products consumed by 2/3 less energy than using other materials. Therefore, processing of plastic, can significantly reduce energy costs. Thus, processing 4 million pounds of plastic saves energy for heating more than 2 million homes.
