2. Pròiseas Granulation Ath-chuairteachadh Plastaig Sgudail

The waste plastic recycling granulation process typically consists of several key steps: waste plastic collection and sorting, glanadh, crushing, tiormachadh, extrusion granulation, fuarachadh, agus buain. Each step plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of the final recycled granules. The specific process parameters may vary depending on the type of waste plastic, an ìre de thruailleadh, and the desired quality of the recycled granules.

2.1 Collection and Sorting

The first step in the recycling granulation process is the collection and sorting of waste plastics. Waste plastics are collected from various sources, including households, industries, commercial establishments, and production lines. Due to the wide variety of waste plastics and the presence of contaminants, sorting is essential to ensure the quality of the recycled granules.

Sorting can be done manually or mechanically. Tha rèiteachadh làimhe freagarrach airson obair ath-chuairteachaidh air sgèile bheag agus tha e a’ toirt a-steach sgaradh diofar sheòrsaichean plastaig, toirt air falbh stuthan truailleadh neo-phlastaig (leithid meatailt, pàipear, glainne, agus sgudal organach), agus a' rèiteachadh plastaic a rèir dath agus càileachd. Seòrsachadh meacanaigeach, Air an làimh eile, tha e nas èifeachdaiche agus nas freagarraiche airson obraichean mòra, cleachdadh theicneòlasan leithid dealachadh dùmhlachd (sgaradh sinc-float), dealachadh magnetach, sgaradh electrostatach, agus rèiteach fo-dhearg gus diofar sheòrsaichean plastaig a sgaradh agus truailleadh a thoirt air falbh.

Tha rèiteachadh èifeachdach deatamach oir faodaidh measgachadh de dhiofar sheòrsaichean de phlastaig leantainn gu lùghdachadh mòr ann an coileanadh nan gràinean ath-chuartaichte. Mar eisimpleir, faodaidh measgachadh PP agus PET sgaradh ìre adhbhrachadh rè eas-tharraing, ag adhbhrachadh droch phlastaig agus feartan meacanaigeach nan gràinneagan.

2.2 Glanadh

An dèidh a sheòrsachadh, the waste plastics are cleaned to remove surface contaminants such as dirt, duslach, oil, greas, food residues, agus bileagan. The cleaning process typically involves several steps:

Pre-cleaning: Removing large contaminants (such as labels, bonaidean, and metal fragments) and coarse dirt through brushing, blowing, or manual picking.
A' nighe: Soaking the waste plastics in a cleaning solution (usually water with detergent or alkali) to remove oil, greas, and food residues. Agitation or ultrasonic cleaning may be used to enhance the cleaning effect.
Rinsing: Rinsing the cleaned plastics with clean water to remove any remaining cleaning solution and contaminants.
A' dì-uisgeachadh: Removing excess water from the cleaned plastics using centrifuges, dewatering machines, or air drying to reduce the moisture content and facilitate subsequent processing.

Bidh buaidh glanaidh a’ toirt buaidh dhìreach air càileachd nan gràinean ath-chuartaichte. Faodaidh glanadh neo-iomchaidh leantainn gu truailleadh nan gràinean, toirt buaidh air an comas làimhseachaidh agus na feartan meacanaigeach aca. Mar eisimpleir, faodaidh fuigheall ola is saim droch ghreamachadh eadar na moileciuilean plastaig aig àm eas-tharraing, mar thoradh air neart tensile ìosal nan gràinneagan.

2.3 A' bruthadh

An dèidh glanadh agus dì-uisgeachadh, tha plastaig sgudail air a phronnadh ann am pìosan beaga (flakes no criomagan) a 'cleachdadh inneal-losgaidh. Bidh pronnadh a’ cuideachadh le bhith ag àrdachadh farsaingeachd uachdar a’ phlastaig, a’ comasachadh leaghadh agus measgachadh tron phròiseas eas-tharraing. Bidh e cuideachd a’ cuideachadh le bhith a’ toirt air falbh truailleadh beag sam bith a dh’ fhaodadh a bhith freumhaichte sa phlastaig.

Tha an seòrsa inneal-brisidh a thathar a’ cleachdadh an urra ri seòrsa agus cruth a’ phlastaig sgudail. Tha seòrsachan cumanta de phronnadh a’ toirt a-steach pronnadh iallan, luchd-brisidh ùird, blade crushers, and granulators. For flexible plastics (such as plastic films and bags), blade crushers are typically used, while for rigid plastics (such as plastic bottles and containers), hammer crushers or jaw crushers are more suitable. The size of the crushed plastic pieces is usually between 5mm and 20mm, depending on the type of extruder used and the desired granule size.

2.4 A 'tiormachadh

Even after dewatering, the crushed plastic pieces may still contain a certain amount of moisture. High moisture content can lead to defects such as bubbles, sgàinidhean, and poor surface quality in the recycled granules during extrusion. Uime sin, a drying step is necessary to reduce the moisture content of the crushed plastic pieces to an acceptable level (mar as trice gu h-ìosal 0.5%).

Common drying methods include hot air drying, vacuum drying, and infrared drying. Hot air drying is the most widely used method, which involves passing hot air (at a temperature of 80-120°C) through the crushed plastic pieces to evaporate the moisture. The drying time and temperature depend on the type of plastic and the initial moisture content. Mar eisimpleir, PET is more sensitive to moisture and requires higher drying temperatures (120-160°C) and longer drying times to ensure complete moisture removal.

2.5 Extrusion Granulation

Extrusion granulation is the core step in the waste plastic recycling granulation process. It involves melting, measgachadh, and homogenizing the dried crushed plastic pieces using an extruder, then extruding the molten plastic through a die to form continuous strands, which are subsequently cooled and cut into uniform granules.

The extruder is the key equipment in this step, and its performance directly determines the quality and efficiency of the granulation process. There are two main types of extruders used in waste plastic recycling granulation: twin-screw extruders and single-screw extruders. Each type has its own advantages and is suitable for different types of waste plastics, as detailed in Section 3.

During extrusion granulation, several key process parameters need to be precisely controlled:

Teòthachd: The temperature of the extruder barrel and die is critical for melting the plastic and ensuring good mixing and homogenization. Different types of plastics have different melting points, and the barrel temperature is typically set 10-30°C above the melting point of the plastic to ensure complete melting. Mar eisimpleir, the barrel temperature for PP is usually 170-220°C, while for PET it is 260-280°C. Excessively high temperatures can cause thermal degradation of the plastic, leading to a reduction in the mechanical properties of the recycled granules, while excessively low temperatures can result in incomplete melting and poor mixing.
Ìre rùsgaidh: The shear rate is determined by the screw speed and the screw design. A suitable shear rate helps to homogenize the molten plastic, disperse any remaining contaminants, and improve the plasticity of the granules. Ge-tà, excessively high shear rates can cause mechanical degradation of the plastic molecular structure, leading to reduced performance.
Luas sgriubha: The screw speed affects the throughput, melting efficiency, and mixing quality. Higher screw speeds can increase the throughput but may reduce the melting and mixing efficiency, while lower screw speeds can improve the mixing quality but reduce the throughput. The optimal screw speed depends on the type of plastic, the extruder type, and the desired granule quality.
Extrusion Brùthadh: The extrusion pressure is determined by the die design, astar sgriubha, and material viscosity. Stable extrusion pressure ensures uniform strand formation and consistent granule size. Excessively high pressure can cause die blockage, while excessively low pressure can result in uneven strands.

2.6 Fuarachadh agus gearradh

After extrusion through the die, the continuous plastic strands are cooled to solidify them. Cooling can be done using air cooling or water cooling. Water cooling is more efficient and is widely used in large-scale granulation operations, involving passing the strands through a water tank or water spray to quickly cool them to room temperature. Air cooling is suitable for small-scale operations or for plastics that are sensitive to water (leithid cuid de phlastaig innleadaireachd).

Once the strands are cooled and solidified, they are cut into uniform granules using a pelletizer. The pelletizer is typically installed at the exit of the cooling system and can be adjusted to control the length of the granules (usually between 2mm and 5mm). Common types of pelletizers include strand pelletizers, water ring pelletizers, and underwater pelletizers. Strand pelletizers are the most widely used type for waste plastic recycling granulation, as they are simple in structure, furasta obrachadh, and suitable for most types of plastics.

2.7 Screening and Packaging

After cutting, the recycled granules are screened using a vibrating screen to remove any oversized or undersized granules, ensuring uniform particle size. The screened granules are then dried again (if necessary) to remove any moisture absorbed during cooling, then packaged into bags or bulk containers for storage and transportation.

Packaging is an important step to prevent contamination and moisture absorption of the recycled granules. The packaging materials should be moisture-proof and clean, and the granules should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and clean warehouse to maintain their quality.

3. Extruder Selection for Waste Plastic Recycling Granulation

Mar a chaidh ainmeachadh na bu tràithe, the extruder is the core equipment in the waste plastic recycling granulation process. The selection of the right extruder depends on the type of waste plastic, the desired granule quality, the production volume, and the budget. There are two main types of extruders used in waste plastic recycling granulation: twin-screw extruders and single-screw extruders. Each type has its own unique advantages and is suitable for different applications.

3.1 Twin-screw Extruders for Recycling Granulation

Twin-screw extruders are widely used in the recycling granulation of engineering plastics and plastics with high contamination levels, leithid ABS, PS, agus PET. They consist of two parallel screws that rotate in the same direction (co-chuairt) or opposite directions (a' cur an aghaidh) within a barrel. Co-rotating twin-screw extruders are more commonly used in plastic recycling due to their superior mixing and conveying capabilities.

3.1.1 Key Advantages of Twin-screw Extruders

Easy Material Feeding: Twin-screw extruders have a strong conveying capacity, which allows for easy feeding of crushed plastic pieces, even if they are irregular in shape or have a certain amount of contaminants. This reduces the need for pre-processing of the material and improves production efficiency.
Short Material Residence Time: Tha ùine còmhnaidh an stuth anns an extruder dà-sgriubha goirid (gu h-àbhaisteach 1-5 mionaidean) an coimeas ri extruders aon-sgriubha. Bidh seo a’ cuideachadh le bhith a’ seachnadh truailleadh teirmeach air a’ phlastaig, gu sònraichte airson plastaic a tha mothachail air teas leithid PET agus ABS, a dh ’fhaodas crìonadh gu furasta nuair a bhios e fosgailte do theodhachd àrd airson ùine mhòr. Bidh ùine còmhnaidh goirid cuideachd a’ lughdachadh caitheamh lùtha agus a’ leasachadh èifeachdas cinneasachaidh.
Buaidh fionnarachaidh sàr-mhath: Tha inneal-sgaoilidh dà-sgriubha air an uidheamachadh le puirt fionnarachaidh a leigeas le taiseachd a thoirt air falbh, gasaichean luaineach, agus èadhar bhon phlastaig leaghte. Tha am pàirt meshing de na sgriothan a 'toirt seachad measgachadh èifeachdach, agus tha gnìomh fèin-ghlanadh na h-earrainn fionnarachaidh a’ dèanamh cinnteach gun urrainn don stuth ùrachadh uachdar iomlan a choileanadh, a 'ceadachadh toirt air falbh stuthan luaineach gu h-èifeachdach. This helps to improve the quality of the recycled granules by reducing the number of bubbles and defects.
Superior Mixing and Plasticizing Effect: The co-rotating twin-screw extruders have strong shear and mixing capabilities, which can effectively homogenize the molten plastic, disperse contaminants, and mix additives (leithid stabilizers, antioxidants, agus colorants) uniformly. This ensures that the recycled granules have consistent properties and good processability.
Low Specific Power Consumption: Despite their high performance, twin-screw extruders have low specific power consumption (power consumption per unit output), making them more energy-efficient compared to single-screw extruders for certain applications. This helps to reduce operating costs for recycling enterprises.
High Volume Power: Twin-screw extruders have a high volume power (power per unit volume of the barrel), which means they can process a large amount of material in a small space. This makes them suitable for large-scale production operations with limited space.

3.1.2 Suitable Applications for Twin-screw Extruders

Twin-screw extruders are particularly suitable for the recycling granulation of the following plastics:

ABS: A high-performance plastic that is widely used in electronic products, pàirtean fèin-ghluasadach, agus dèideagan. ABS is sensitive to heat and requires short residence time and good mixing, making twin-screw extruders the ideal choice.
PS: Both rigid and foam PS can be recycled using twin-screw extruders. The superior mixing capabilities of twin-screw extruders help to disperse any remaining foam cells and contaminants, ensuring good granule quality.
Peata: PET is highly sensitive to moisture and heat, and requires precise temperature control and short residence time. Twin-screw extruders with good venting and temperature control capabilities are suitable for PET recycling granulation.
Plastaig innleadaireachd: Other engineering plastics such as PC (Polycarbonate), PA (Polyamide), and POM (Polyoxymethylene) can also be recycled using twin-screw extruders, thanks to their superior mixing and plasticizing capabilities.

3.2 Single-screw Extruders for Recycling Granulation

Single-screw extruders are simpler in structure, lower in cost, and easier to maintain compared to twin-screw extruders. They consist of a single screw that rotates within a barrel, conveying and melting the material through friction and shear between the screw and the barrel. Single-screw extruders are widely used in the recycling granulation of general-purpose plastics such as PP, PE, and LDPE.

3.2.1 Key Advantages of Single-screw Extruders

Short Screw Length and Residence Time: Mar as trice bidh fad sgriubha nas giorra aig extruders aon-sgriubha an taca ri eas-innealan dà-sgriubha, mar thoradh air ùine còmhnaidh stuthan nas giorra. Bidh seo a’ cuideachadh le bhith a’ seachnadh truailleadh teirmeach air a’ phlastaig, gu sònraichte airson plastaic bog leithid PE agus LDPE, aig a bheil puingean leaghaidh nas ìsle agus a tha buailteach a bhith air an truailleadh.
Cosgais-èifeachdach: Bidh ath-chuairteachadh plastaig sgudail gu tric a’ toirt a-steach stuthan le ìrean àrda de thruaillearan, a dh’ fhaodadh caitheamh is deòir mòr adhbhrachadh air an sgriubha extruder agus am baraille. Tha extruders aon-sgriubha nas sìmplidh ann an structar agus a’ cleachdadh stuthan nach eil cho daor, gan dèanamh nas èifeachdaiche a thaobh cosgais an àite agus an cumail suas an taca ri luchd-sgaoilidh dà-sgriubha. Tha seo gu sònraichte cudromach airson iomairtean ath-chuairteachaidh beaga is meadhanach le buidseatan cuibhrichte.
Freagarrach airson plastaic bog: The material conveying efficiency of single-screw extruders depends on the friction performance of the solid material and the viscosity of the melt. Soft plastics such as PP, PE, and LDPE have good friction performance and low melt viscosity, making them ideal for processing with single-screw extruders. These plastics can be conveyed and melted efficiently, ensuring good granule quality.
Simple Operation and Maintenance: Single-screw extruders have a simple structure, le nas lugha de phàirtean gluasadach, making them easy to operate and maintain. This reduces the need for skilled operators and lowers maintenance costs, which is beneficial for small-scale recycling operations.

3.2.2 Suitable Applications for Single-screw Extruders

Single-screw extruders are particularly suitable for the recycling granulation of the following plastics:

PP (Polypropylene): PP is a soft plastic with good friction performance and processability, making it ideal for processing with single-screw extruders. Recycled PP granules produced using single-screw extruders have good mechanical properties and can be used in a wide range of applications.
PE (Polyethylene): Both LDPE and HDPE are suitable for processing with single-screw extruders. LDPE, Gu sònraichte, is a soft plastic with low melt viscosity, which can be conveyed and melted efficiently by single-screw extruders. Recycled PE granules are widely used in the production of plastic films and pipes.
LDPE (Polyethylene dùmhlachd ìosal): LDPE is commonly used in plastic films and bags, which are easy to crush and process. Single-screw extruders are ideal for LDPE recycling granulation, as they can handle the soft material efficiently and cost-effectively.

3.3 Key Factors for Extruder Selection

When selecting an extruder for waste plastic recycling granulation, the following key factors should be considered:

Type of Waste Plastic: As discussed earlier, twin-screw extruders are suitable for engineering plastics (ABS, PS, Peata) and plastics with high contamination levels, while single-screw extruders are suitable for general-purpose plastics (PP, PE, LDPE).
Meud toraidh: For large-scale production (more than 500kg/h), twin-screw extruders are more suitable due to their high throughput and efficiency. For small-scale production (less than 200kg/h), single-screw extruders are more cost-effective and practical.
Granule Quality Requirements: If high-quality recycled granules with uniform properties and low contamination are required (such as for automotive parts and electronic products), twin-screw extruders are the better choice due to their superior mixing and plasticizing capabilities. For general-purpose applications (such as plastic films and low-grade injection-molded products), single-screw extruders can meet the requirements at a lower cost.
Buidseat: Twin-screw extruders are more expensive than single-screw extruders, both in terms of initial investment and maintenance costs. Uime sin, enterprises with limited budgets may prefer single-screw extruders for general-purpose plastic recycling.
Caitheamh lùtha: For large-scale production, energy consumption is an important consideration. Twin-screw extruders have lower specific power consumption, making them more energy-efficient for high-volume operations. Single-screw extruders may be more energy-efficient for small-scale operations due to their simpler structure.
