Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻano kona mau pono ponoʻī a kūpono i nā ʻano ʻōpala ʻōpala, e like me ka mea i hoakakaia ma ka Pauku 3.
I ka wā extrusion granulation, pono e hoomalu pono ia kekahi mau kaina hana nui:
- Mahana: He mea koʻikoʻi ka mahana o ka pahu extruder a me ka make no ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka plastic a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka hui maikaʻi ʻana a me ka homogenization.. He ʻokoʻa ko nā ʻano plastik like ʻole, a ua hoʻonohonoho maʻamau ʻia ka mahana o ka barela 10-30°C ma luna o ka helu heheʻe o ka plastic e hōʻoia i ka hoʻoheheʻe piha ʻana.. ʻo kahi laʻana, ʻO ka mahana o ka barela no ka PP he 170-220 ° C, ʻoiai no ka PET he 260-280 ° C. Hiki i nā wela kiʻekiʻe ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka wela o ka plastic, e alakaʻi ana i ka emi ʻana o nā waiwai mechanical o nā granules recycled, ʻoiai ʻo ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa hiki ke hopena i ka hoʻoheheʻe piha ʻole a me ka hoʻohui maikaʻi ʻole.

Hiki ke hoʻohui i ka plastic i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ma ke ʻano hoʻoheheʻe kūpono, e hoʻopuehu i nā mea haumia i koe, and improve the plasticity of the granules. Eia naʻe, excessively high shear rates can cause mechanical degradation of the plastic molecular structure, leading to reduced performance.
- Ka māmā holo: 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.
- Paʻi Extrusion: The extrusion pressure is determined by the die design, ka māmā holo, 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 Hoʻolili a ʻokiʻoki
Ma hope o ka extrusion ma o ka make, hoʻomāʻalili ʻia nā kaula plastik mau e paʻa ai. Hiki ke hana ʻia ka hoʻoluʻu ʻana me ka hoʻolili ʻana i ka ea a i ʻole ka hoʻoluʻu wai. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻoluʻu wai a hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā hana granulation nui, e pili ana i ka hele ʻana i nā kaula i loko o ka pahu wai a i ʻole ka ʻehu wai e hoʻomaʻalili koke iā lākou i ka wela lumi. He kūpono ka hoʻoluʻu ʻana i ka ea no nā hana liʻiliʻi a i ʻole nā plastics i pili i ka wai (e like me kekahi mau plastics engineering).
I ka wā e maʻalili a paʻa nā kaula, ua ʻoki ʻia lākou i loko o nā granule like ʻole me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pelletizer. Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia ka pelletizer ma ka puka o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻomaha a hiki ke hoʻoponopono ʻia e kāohi i ka lōʻihi o nā granule. (maʻa mau ma waena o 2mm a me 5mm). ʻO nā ʻano pelletizer maʻamau ka strand pelletizers, nā pelletizer apo wai, a me nā pelletizer ma lalo o ka wai. Strand pelletizers are the most widely used type for waste plastic recycling granulation, as they are simple in structure, oluolu e hana, 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
E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, 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. ʻElua ʻano nui o nā extruder i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o ka ʻōpala plastik recycling granulation: nā mea hoʻokuke māhoe māhoe a me nā mea hoʻoheheʻe hoʻokahi. 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, such as ABS, PS, a me PET. They consist of two parallel screws that rotate in the same direction (kawili pu ana) a i ʻole nā ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe (hoʻohuli kūʻē) 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: The residence time of the material in the twin-screw extruder is short (maʻamau 1-5 minuke) compared to single-screw extruders. This helps to avoid thermal degradation of the plastic, especially for heat-sensitive plastics such as PET and ABS, which can degrade easily when exposed to high temperatures for a long time. Short residence time also reduces energy consumption and improves production efficiency.
- Excellent Venting Effect: Twin-screw extruders are equipped with venting ports that allow for the removal of moisture, volatile gases, and air from the molten plastic. The meshing part of the screws provides effective mixing, and the self-cleaning function of the venting section ensures that the material can achieve complete surface renewal, allowing for efficient removal of volatile substances. 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 (e like me nā stabilizers, antioxidants, a me nā mea kala) 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, ʻāpana kaʻa, a me nā mea pāʻani. 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.
- PET: 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.
- Engineering Plastics: 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: Single-screw extruders typically have a shorter screw length compared to twin-screw extruders, resulting in shorter material residence time. This helps to avoid thermal degradation of the plastic, especially for soft plastics such as PE and LDPE, which have lower melting points and are prone to degradation.
