1. An Overview of Waste Plastic Recycling Granulation

Waste plastic recycling granulation is a specialized process that converts various forms of waste plastics—such as plastic bottles, lifilimi, lijana, scraps from production lines, and post-consumer plastic waste—into uniform, high-quality plastic granules through a series of mechanical and thermal treatments. These recycled granules, also known as regranulates or reprocessed plastic pellets, can be directly used in injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and other plastic processing methods to produce new products, ranging from packaging materials and construction components to automotive parts and daily necessities.

The core value of waste plastic recycling granulation lies in its ability to address the dual challenges of plastic waste disposal and resource scarcity. Unlike traditional waste plastic disposal methods such as landfilling and incineration, which pose severe environmental risks, recycling granulation achieves true resource recycling:

  • Environmental Protection: Landfilling of plastic waste occupies valuable land resources and can lead to soil and groundwater pollution, as plastics are non-biodegradable and can release harmful substances over time. Incineration, on the other hand, emits toxic gases (such as dioxins and carbon monoxide) and particulate matter, contributing to air pollution and global warming. Recycling granulation reduces the amount of plastic waste entering landfills and incinerators, ho fokotsa tšilafalo ea tikoloho le tlhahiso ea khabone.

1.2 Common Types of Waste Plastics for Granulation

Almost all types of thermoplastic plastics can be recycled and granulated, while thermosetting plastics (which cannot be melted and reprocessed) are not suitable for recycling granulation. The most common types of waste plastics used in recycling granulation include:

  • PP (Polypropylene): A widely used thermoplastic with good chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and processability. Common waste PP includes plastic buckets, lijana, caps, and production scraps. Recycled PP granules are often used to produce plastic pipes, auto parts, and packaging materials.
  • PE (Polyethylene): Divided into LDPE (Polyethylene ea Boima bo tlase) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene). LDPE is commonly used in plastic films, mekotlana, and bottles, ha HDPE e sebelisoa ka libarele, liphaephe, le lijana. Li-granules tsa PE tse tsosolositsoeng li loketse ho hlahisa lifilimi tsa polasetiki, liphaephe, le lihlahisoa tse entsoeng ka ente.

Li-granules tsa PET tse tsosolositsoeng li sebelisoa haholo tlhahisong ea likhoele tsa polyester, libotlolo tsa polasetiki, and packaging materials.
  • PS (Polystyrene): E fumaneha ka thata (joalo ka likopi tsa foam, lijana tsa lijo, le lintho tsa ho bapala tsa polasetiki) le foam (EPS, polystyrene e atolositsoeng) mefuta. Li-granules tsa PS tse tsosolositsoeng li ka sebelisoa ho hlahisa lintho tsa ho bapala tsa polasetiki, lisebelisoa tse khabisitsoeng, le lihlahisoa tsa foam.

Ka mohlala, ho kopanya PP le PET ho ka baka karohano ea mekhahlelo nakong ea extrusion, ho fella ka polasetiki e futsanehileng le thepa ea mochini ea li-granules.

2.2 Ho hloekisa

Ka mor'a ho hlopha, li-plastiki tse litšila lia hloekisoa ho tlosa litšila tse ka holimo tse kang litšila, lerole, oli, mafura, masalla a dijo, le li-label. Mokhoa oa ho hloekisa hangata o kenyelletsa mehato e mengata:

  • Ho hloekisa pele: Ho tlosa ditshila tse kgolo (joalo ka labels, caps, le likhechana tsa tšepe) le ditshila tse mahwahla ka borashe, foka, kapa ho kotula ka letsoho.
  • Ho hlatsoa: Ho kenya litšila tsa polasetiki ka har'a tharollo ea ho hloekisa (hangata metsi a nang le sesepa kapa alkali) ho tlosa oli, mafura, le masalla a lijo. Ho ferekanngoa kapa ho hloekisa ka ultrasonic ho ka sebelisoa ho ntlafatsa phello ea ho hloekisa.
  • Ho hlatsoa: Rinsing the cleaned plastics with clean water to remove any remaining cleaning solution and contaminants.
  • Dewatering: Removing excess water from the cleaned plastics using centrifuges, dewatering machines, or air drying to reduce the moisture content and facilitate subsequent processing.

The cleaning effect directly affects the quality of the recycled granules. Inadequate cleaning can lead to contamination of the granules, affecting their processability and mechanical properties. Ka mohlala, oil and grease residues can cause poor adhesion between the plastic molecules during extrusion, resulting in low tensile strength of the granules.

2.3 Crushing

After cleaning and dewatering, the waste plastics are crushed into small pieces (flakes or fragments) using a crusher. Crushing helps to increase the surface area of the plastic, facilitating melting and mixing during the extrusion process. It also helps to remove any remaining small contaminants that may be embedded in the plastic.

The type of crusher used depends on the type and form of the waste plastic. Common types of crushers include jaw crushers, hammer crushers, 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 Ho omisa

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, cracks, and poor surface quality in the recycled granules during extrusion. Ka hona, a drying step is necessary to reduce the moisture content of the crushed plastic pieces to an acceptable level (typically below 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. Ka mohlala, 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, ho kopanya, 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:

  • Temperature: 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. Ka mohlala, 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.
  • Shear Rate: 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. Leha ho le joalo, excessively high shear rates can cause mechanical degradation of the plastic molecular structure, leading to reduced performance.
  • Screw Speed: 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 Pressure: The extrusion pressure is determined by the die design, screw speed, and material viscosity. Stable extrusion pressure ensures uniform strand formation and consistent granule size. Excessively high pressure can cause die blockage, athe khatello e tlase haholo e ka fella ka likhoele tse sa lekanang.

3. Extruder Selection for Waste Plastic Recycling Granulation

As mentioned earlier, 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, such as ABS, PS, and PET. They consist of two parallel screws that rotate in the same direction (co-rotating) or opposite directions (counter-rotating) within a barrel. Li-extruder tsa "twin-screw" tse kopanyang li sebelisoa hangata ho nchafatsa polasetiki ka lebaka la bokhoni ba tsona ba ho kopanya le ho tsamaisa..

3.1.1 Melemo ea Bohlokoa ea Li-Twin-screw Extruders

  • Ho Fepa Lintho Tse Bonolo: Li-extruder tse peli-screw li na le bokhoni bo matla ba ho fetisa, e lumellang ho fepa habonolo ha likotoana tsa polasetiki tse pshatlehileng, le haeba di sa lekane ka sebopeho kapa di na le palo e itseng ya ditshila. Sena se fokotsa tlhokahalo ea ho sebetsa pele ho lisebelisoa le ho ntlafatsa katleho ea tlhahiso.
  • Nako e Khutšoane ea ho Lula ha Lintho: Nako ea bolulo ea thepa ka mafahla-screw extruder e khutšoanyane (ka tlwaelo 1-5 metsotso) ha e bapisoa le li-extruder tse nang le sekoahelo se le seng. Sena se thusa ho qoba ho senyeha ha mocheso oa polasetiki, haholo-holo bakeng sa lipolasetiki tse sa utloeng mocheso joalo ka PET le ABS, e ka senyehang ha bonolo ha e le mochesong o phahameng nako e telele. 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 (such as stabilizers, antioxidants, and 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: Plastiki e sebetsang hantle haholo e sebelisoang haholo lihlahisoa tsa elektronike, auto parts, le lintho tsa ho bapala. ABS e utloa mocheso 'me e hloka nako e khutšoanyane ea ho lula le ho kopanya hantle, ho etsa li-fahla-screw extruders khetho e nepahetseng.

Li na le screw e le 'ngoe e potolohang ka har'a moqomo, ho tsamaisa le ho qhibilihisa sesebedisoa ka ho hohlana le ho kuta pakeng tsa screw le barrel. Li-extruder tse nang le sekoaelo se le seng li sebelisoa haholo molemong oa ho nchafatsa lipolasetiki tsa sepheo se akaretsang joalo ka PP., PE, le LDPE.

3.2.1 Melemo ea Bohlokoa ea Li-Extruder tsa Single-screw

  • Bolelele bo Khutšoane ba Screw le Nako ea Bolulo: Li-extruder tsa "screw" tse nang le "single-screw extruder" hangata li na le bolelele bo bokhuts'oane ba sekoti ha se bapisoa le li-extruder tse peli, e bakang nako e kgutshwane ya ho dula ha thepa. Sena se thusa ho qoba ho senyeha ha mocheso oa polasetiki, haholo-holo bakeng sa li-plastiki tse bonolo tse kang PE le LDPE, which have lower melting points and are prone to degradation.
  • Cost-Effective: Waste plastic recycling often involves materials with high levels of contaminants, which can cause significant wear and tear on the extruder screw and barrel. Single-screw extruders are simpler in structure and use less expensive materials, making them more cost-effective to replace and maintain compared to twin-screw extruders. This is particularly important for small and medium-sized recycling enterprises with limited budgets.
  • Suitable for Soft Plastics: 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, ho netefatsa boleng bo botle ba granule.
  • Simple Operation and Maintenance: Single-screw extruders have a simple structure, with fewer moving parts, 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, in particular, 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 ea Boima bo tlase): 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, PET) and plastics with high contamination levels, athe li-extruder tse nang le sekoaelo se le seng li loketse lipolasetiki tsa morero o akaretsang (PP, PE, LDPE).
  • Bolumo ba Tlhahiso: Bakeng sa tlhahiso e kholo (ho feta 500kg/h), mafahla-screw extruders ba loketse haholoanyane ka lebaka la ho throughput bona phahameng le bokgoni. Bakeng sa tlhahiso e nyane (ka tlase ho 200kg/h), li-extruder tsa single-screw li na le litšenyehelo tse ngata ebile lia sebetsa.
  • Litlhoko tsa Boleng ba Granule: Haeba li-granules tsa boleng bo holimo tse nang le thepa e ts'oanang le tšilafalo e tlase lia hlokahala (joalo ka likarolo tsa likoloi le lihlahisoa tsa elektroniki), mafahla-screw extruders ke khetho e ntle ka lebaka la bokhoni ba bona ba ho kopanya le ho etsa polasetiki. Bakeng sa likopo tse akaretsang (joalo ka lifilimi tsa polasetiki le lihlahisoa tse entsoeng ka ente ea boemo bo tlase), li-extruder tse nang le sekoahelo se le seng li ka fihlela litlhoko ka theko e tlase.
  • Tekanyetso: Li-extruder tse peli-screw li bitsa chelete e ngata ho feta li-extruder tsa single-screw, both in terms of initial investment and maintenance costs. Ka hona, enterprises with limited budgets may prefer single-screw extruders for general-purpose plastic recycling.
