Types of Plastic for Recycling
1. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
PET is a type of plastic commonly used in beverage bottles and food containers. It is known for its ability to prevent oxygen from spoiling the contents and is widely recyclable, often being made into products like containers, carpets, furniture, and clothing fibres.
2. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
Featuring long, unbranched polymer chains, HDPE is a durable plastic that can withstand temperatures up to 120°C. It is repurposed into products such as containers, plastic lumber, fencing, and picnic tables.
3. LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)
Bags, wraps, six-pack rings, and containers are made of LDPE. Unlike HDPE, LDPE has low-density molecules, making it thinner, more flexible, and inexpensive to produce, but more difficult to recycle.
4. PP (Polypropylene)
Known for its durability and heat resistance, Polypropylene (PP) is commonly used in containers ,tupperware and car parts. When recycled PP can be utised in items like containers, pallets, and car parts.
Plastic Recycling Equipment
Our plastic recycling equipment comes from top industry suppliers like Lindner Washtech, Pellenc and Spaleck, guaranteeing high-quality performance, recovery and purity . Learn about the purposes of these equipments:
1. Shredders
Shredders size reduce large plastic items into smaller sizes to facilitate easier handling, screening and sorting in preparation for further upstream steps like washing and extruding.
2. Granulators
They improve uniformity and get the material ready for extrusion by refining the shredded plastic into smaller grains. It is a necessary step for effective production of high quality extruded products.
3. Extruders
These machines melt plastic granules into usable products, shaping them into new forms such as pellets or sheets.
4. Wash Lines
Wash lines clean plastic flakes by removing contaminants, dirt, labels and ensuring the plastic is free of impurities before it is further processed.
5. Palletisers
It is used to cut melted plastic into uniform cylindrical pellets using a die. These pellets are easy to handle and are reused in manufacturing, reducing raw material costs and ensuring consistent quality in new products.
6. Sorting systems
Sorting systems separate different types of plastics using methods like screening and optical sorting. This improves the efficiency of the recycling process by guaranteeing the quality and consistency of each type of plastic.
