Plastic Recycling

Plastic recycling is the biggest market compared to other recycling materials, and there is a wide range of products made from recycled plastic, including:

Polyethylene bin liners and carrier bags
PVC sewer pipes, flooring and window frames
Building insulation board
Video and compact disc cassette cases
Fencing and garden furniture
Water butts
Garden sheds and composters
Seed trays, anoraks and fleeces
Fibered sleeping bags and duvets, and a variety of office accessories

HDPE – Opaque bottles
PVC – Transparent bottles, with a seam running across the base
PET – Transparent bottles, with a hard moulded spot in the centre of the base

LDPE - The first grade of polyethylene. It includes trays & general purpose containers, food storage and laboratory containers, corrosion-resistant work surfaces, etc.

Nowadays, the plastic recycling companies provide fully automated reverse vending machines which utilize advanced technology to identify, sort, collect, process and recycle used beverage containers including cans, glass bottles, PET (plastic) bottles and vending cups. These machines have been used in Europe for many years, often as part of a 'refund for your empties' scheme, encouraging people to put their bottles in to get money back.

Home Appliance Recycling

Electronics waste is growing exponentially, and so is the electronic recycling industry. Televisions are used, on average, for less than two years. For computers, it's three.

E-waste is generally recognized as one of the fastest growing components of municipal solid waste. This number is only expected to increase as technological advances are made and the electronic recycling market is expect to grow fast.

Electrical waste includes digital watches, fridges, TV's, computers and toys although not everything can be recycled. For home appliance recycling, televisions, washing machines, air conditioners are recyclable. Not only is this waste stream disparate in function, but the materials of which they are comprised vary considerably. The complex array of product types and materials make electronic recycling equipment difficult to manage. Another major problem is the toxic nature of many of the substances, including arsenic, bromine, cadmium, halogenated flame retardant, hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), lead, mercury and PCB's. Electronic recycling processing systems have matured in recent years; part of this evolution has involved greater diversion of electronic recycling from using mechanical processes, where electronic recycling equipment is reverted to a raw material form. In the electronic recycling market, recycling is divided into different processes due to the complication involved

PE/PP bottle or PE/PP sheet plastic recycling production line (Washing Crushing and Pelletizing Line)

For waste whose generation cannot be prevented, it is important to recycle the waste to whatever degree possible, and that's why plastic recycling is so important. In recycle plants, plastic waste is generated into pellets used as raw material. In a plastic recycling line, the waste plastics are carefully separated and turned into pellets for further uses. During plastic recycling, the plastic waste is washed in a stainless steel water bucket, and in the 2nd water bucket the plastic is separated into different types of plastic including PE and PVC. In the washing machine, the machine washes out the sand and dirt from PE and a squeeze type de-watering machine squeezes out the water contained in PE. After using the advanced de-watering machine to squeeze out the water, there is only 7% of water left. In the end, a granulator is used to get rid of the rest of the water.

The plastic machine is special for PE, PP film crushing, washing and drying production line, because it can easily wash waste plastic products. Waste and dirty agricultural films, waste packing material and hard plastics can be treated step by step with this facility.

The plastic recycling production line is used for washing and recycling of PE and PP films.

A Crusher is a necessary part of plastic recycling machines. It is used for PET bottles, PE, PP bottles, PE, PP film, PS, PVC, and some other plastic materials.

Wire and Cable Recycling Production Line

Workers remove the recyclable cables, wires and these materials are all sorted for individual commodity sales. Once they are separated into different categories, they are sent to the crusher/shredder and shredded into small pieces. The recycling materials enter the crusher, they are dropped into a rotating hammer mill. The hammers hit the recycling material and implode into pieces of wire and metal. A magnet pulls metal from the mix, and a screen is used to sift the glass to produce the desired size. Metals are separately discharged from the bottom of the system into commodity containers for shipment. Different from the traditional burning method, waste wire and calbe recycling production line uses machines such as belt conveying, magnetic iron separator, helix loader, vibrating separator and other manufacturing processes to achive the recycling purpose.

Waste Tire Recycling

As the number of buyer in the automotive industry continues to increase globally, the number of recycled tires to be taken care of is growing. Tire recycling is critical because tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to the large volume produced and their durability. There are a billion tires discarded around the world each year, unfortunately recycled tires are only 10% and most of them are either buried in landfill sites or incinerated. Due to people's awareness, burning or burying are becoming unacceptable methods for our environment; therefore a great tire recycling system is important and urgent. That also says, tire recycling is highly desirable and of great benefit in today's environmentally conscious society.

The tire recycling supply Chain is divided into three stages: collection and processing stage, tire-derived products stage and tire-derived products. The tire processing stage is sorted into four operations: whole tires, stamped (cut) tires, chipped (shredded) tires, and ground (crumb) rubber. Tire recycling uses three different technologies to transfer them into different form, including all mechanical ambient grinding, cryogenically, freezing and crushing, and microwave treatment to melt rubber.

Tire Recycling Production Line

Tire shreds take up eight times less landfill space than whole tires and they do not resurface. Shreddisng plants are generally constructed close to the supply of tires as shreds are cheaper to transport than bulky whole tires.

Tire crumbs may be produced mechanically. In the mechanical process, tires are reduced to chips and then put through granulators which separate and remove loose steel and fiber and further reduce rubber particle size. Finally, the small rubber chunks are ground in a cracker mill to produce rubber crumb of 30 to 40 mesh size.

To produce tire chips, it is necessary to pass the shreds through a two-stage shredder, or to re-circulate them within the primary shredder until they are reduced to an appropriate size, usually two to five centimeters. Tire chips may be further processed to crumbs and the use of tire chips as road base material appears to be a promising application with the potential of consuming large numbers of used tires.
