India is one of the largest producers of raffia in the world and therefore needs a large number of equipment for processing raffia waste. In general, during the production process, 8% of raffia goes into waste. Since the cost of raw materials is almost double the cost of recycled own production waste, for Indian producers of medium and large scale, having up to 30-40 tons of waste per month or more, it is advantageous to process their own waste independently to reduce the cost of production.
The Repro machine from POLYSTAR company is optimally suited for the processing of own waste by the producers of raffia from PP and PE, solid plastics, PE film and non-woven materials. The machine has a built-in chopper that allows you to immediately load fiber, film, solid plastics and even lumps of material (waste from cleaning) for processing without the need for preliminary cutting or grinding before feeding. The Repro-One machine is equipped with a highly sensitive metal detector, a device for replacing a filter with a twin piston (two-channel) and a degassing section with a vacuum pump. The machine also provides indicators and alarms with a high level of automation, ensuring simple operation of the machine. In addition, the car has the best-in-class power consumption figures thanks to efficient engines.
Homogeneous high-quality pellets facilitate their reuse in the process of producing raffia, film, non-woven materials, they are also more convenient for injection molding and blow molding processes. During the exhibition, PlastIndia POLYSTAR held two demonstrations every day of the processing of waste PP FIBC, raffia and printed packages on its equipment. The equipment aroused great interest among visitors, and already at the exhibition the company received many orders for it.
According to the representative of the company, the granules PP obtained from POLYSTAR machines for recycling waste are characterized by a high level of readiness for reuse. Depending on what specific products the manufacturer plans to produce from them, you can immediately start working with a material containing 20 to 100% of these pellets.
The Repro-Air machine is a simple and economical solution for producers of single and multi-layer inflatable and waterproof films from HDPE and LDPE and packages that would like to process their own waste in volume up to one ton per day at a rate of 50 kg per hour. This is a very compact machine, which requires no water supply, because it has an air cooling system for the granulate. The machine, which requires a small space, can be installed directly next to the main waste generating equipment and produce high-quality granules from this waste. The granules obtained can be immediately re-used for production of high-quality film without any problems.
India has always been one of the most important markets for POLYSTAR and over the past three years this market has demonstrated huge growth. There were installed more than 40 machines for processing both industrial and consumer waste.
POLYSTAR sees great prospects in the Indian market, where per capita consumption of plastics per capita continues to grow, and with it the need for quality waste processing equipment capable of producing the best in its class of granules from waste, while saving energy consumption, labor and current costs. And most importantly, these machines are very simple to operate, they are easily replaced parts, which makes them very efficient in the work for the manufacturer.
