POLYSTAR's Repro-Flex one-step plastic recycling machine will be demonstrated at Taipei Plas 2016, taking place from August 12-16 in Taiwan.
The recycling machine is designed for the reprocessing of polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE) and polypropylene (PP) flexible packaging material, both printed and non-printed. It combines cutting, extrusion, and pelletizing. The cutter compactor of the recycling machine prepares (pre-conditions) the material for the extrusion process and feed the material directly into the extruder with a centrifugal force.
Compared with conventional recycling machines, this integrated system does not require a separate crusher, and therefore, eliminates the problem of inconsistent feeding (over-feeding or insufficient feeding).
In addition to in-house (post-industrial) film waste, the system is also able to process washed flakes, scraps, and regrind (pre-crushed rigid plastic waste from injection and extrusion). This equipment is recommended for packaging film producers of commercial bags, garbage bags, agricultural films, food packaging, shrink and stretch films, as well as producers in the woven industry of PP woven bags, jumbo bags, tapes, and yarns.
Other types of materials such as polystyrene (PS) sheet, PE and PS foam, PE net, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and PP mixed with polyurethane (PU) are also applicable to this machine.
