Plastic Recycling Machine by Crusher and Pellets Forming System

Plastic Recycling Machine by Crusher and Pellets Forming System - Plastic known since the early 19th century BC and it’s developed after the discovery of resin phenol formaldehyde by Backland, LH in 1909. In the 20th century BC, the development of plastics is increasing since the early issues raw material to processed products, so that the plastic started slowly change the role of metal.

In general, the plastic material can be classified into two types of thermosetting and thermoplastic. The use of thermosetting limited because it can not recycled. This differs from the thermoplastic material can be recycled in demand, especially by the industry average. Plastic recycling process is not much to change the shape and quality of its chemical structure, while the price is much cheaper compared to new plastics. This condition is the reason for the plastics industry uses recycled plastic.

Plastic recycling process is through several stages of crushing process and forming of plastic pellets. Crushing is the shape of the plastic debris of destruction process crashed into a small size using the crushing machine. Forming of plastic pellets is a continuation of crushing process that shredded plastic processing to the form of plastic pellets in the melting process and plastic forming. At this time only the forming process of plastic pellets by high industry and industrial products, while small industries is only able to process up to the level just shredded plastic.

In fact, only shredded plastic is used as a raw material for the manufacture of low quality products, while high-quality products to use a raw material of plastic pellets. Therefore, a combination of crusher and plastic pellets forming in a small industrial scale is required. So, in this article will explain the Plastic Recycling Machine by Crusher and Pellets Forming System.

Construction of Plastic Recycling Machine

The construction of plastic recycling machine can be seen in the image below:

Construction of Plastic Recycling Machine

This machine uses three main systems, i.e., the crusher system, the heat extrusion system and the pellets forming system.

Crusher and Pellets Forming Concept for Plastic Recycling Machine

Crusher concept is used plastic sheet cut through pinch two grooved wheels providing the cutting force. Shear strength of both ends of the wheel truncated plastic case. When the cutting process, the plastic material that has been cut will be pulled downwardly and retracting plastic wheels used above.

Crusher is designed with two grooved wheels rotating in opposite directions to each other and intersects. Rotation of both wheels using the gear transmission spur gears with the same comparison for causing rotation in the opposite direction at the same speed. The size of the slots of the wheel will determine the size of the result of the cut.

Pellets forming concept consists in heating the raw materials to melt by means of an electric heating element placed outside the pipe. This heating process is performed in several steps along the pipe is pressed by a rotating screw extrusion as a result of the power transmitted by the electric motor so that the first material has a melting point moved to the end the pipe. At the end of the melted plastic tubes come through a round hole in the form of a continuous plastic mold and a certain period of his forming will be cut to a standard of pellets size.
