POLYSTAR Pelletizer Installed in Saudi Arabia for Various Soft and Rigid Polyethylene, and Polypropylene Plastic Waste
The partnership between POLYSTAR and Recycling Services LLC to increase the circular economy in the GCC region continues with tangible steps. The recent installation of the Repro-Flex plastic recycling machine proves the commitment to reducing plastic waste in the region by converting it into reusable plastic materials. The cutter compactor integrated plastic pelletizer is flexible to meet the need of recycling various soft and rigid polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP) plastic wastes coming from multiple sources.
Flexible Machine Design for Variable Plastic Recycling Requirements
Recycling Services LLC collects waste plastics from multiple sources, including factories, municipalities, waste collection centers, etc. At the moment, LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE film and bag wastes, and PP rigid and powder plastic waste materials constitute the majority.
( LDPE and LLDPE film waste from various resources collected by Recycling Services LLC )
Repro-Flex plastic pelletizer is customized to meet these various requirements of the recycler and is capable of recycling various types and shapes of plastic waste with minimal energy consumption. The PLC control panel allows the operators to preset the recycling system for different material requirements and ease the complex tasks for the operators.
Moreover, the screen changer is also customized for the unique characteristics and filtration requirements of the waste materials. The applied hydraulic slide-type screen changer with pressure accumulator reduces the time required for filter mesh changing and reduces material loss.
Hydraulic Slide-Type Screen Changer with Pressure Accumulator
The water scarcity in the region makes investing in a washing line unreasonable. However, the plastic wastes to be recycled are slightly dirty, which require often screen mesh changing. Therefore, the project required an optimal screen changer solution to keep the operations feasible. Among POLYSTAR screen changer solutions, the hydraulic slide-type screen changer with pressure accumulator is found most optimal and applied to the recycling line.
The hydraulic slide-type screen changer operates similarly to the classic slide-type filters, yet is equipped with a pressure accumulator that helps the filter block move faster. It is a suitable solution for slightly dirtier material that requires frequent screen changing.
The Main Advantages of This Screen Changer System are:
- Fast filter-block movement reduces the time for screen changing
- Minimum material loss during the mesh changing
- The filter mesh is easier to change compared to the piston-type screen changers
- Similar to the traditional slide-type screen changers that operators are familiar with
Cooperating with POLYSTAR for Sustainable Recycling and Production
This is the first step of the continuous cooperation between Recycling Services LLC and POLYSTAR. The company is also planning to invest in more POLYSTAR plastic pelletizers to convert more plastic waste into high-quality recycled pellets with a high market value.
The dedication of the plastic recycler to a circular economy doesn’t stop here. The company also plans to invest in POLYSTAR blown film extruders to manufacture plastic films made of up to 100% recycled pellets. This not only helps Recycling Services LLC to close the loop of a circular economy but also allows the manufacturing of more value-added products that would bring higher profit.
