Plastic Recycling Machine
- Debaler Machine: An optional piece of machinery, our debaler machine can take full plastic film bales, compacted bundles, and break them loose into a free flowing stream. Once we “bust” the bales, the PE film can then move onto the next piece of machinery via a belt conveyor.
- Wet Granulator: A wet granulator cuts the PP / PE film into small pieces approximately 10-20mm in size. Since plastic film tend to stick together (imagine saran wrap) and long pieces of film easily tangles and clogs conveyors and rotary-based machinery, this is an essential step in washing plastic film. With water constantly injected into the cutting chamber, our wet granulation process also “pre-treats” and partially cleans the PP / PE film before moving onto the next piece of equipment. Learn more about our wet granulator.
- Single-Shaft Shredder: Another piece size reduction equipment that can be used in place or on top of a wet granulator. ASG’s single-shaft shredder offers the same, high performance cutting, however, with less noise and the ability to take in larger volumes of PE film with more leeway for contamination. Learn more about our single-shaft shredder.
- Friction Washer: A high-power washing machine, ASG’s friction washer spins at nearly 1,000 rotations per minute. As the PP / PE films enters the friction washer, the plastic film rubs against each other at high speeds getting rid of hard to remove contamination. At the same time, any paper and cardboard is broken down into fibers and removed. While one friction washer is standard, various washing plants have requested a secondary friction washer to ensure thorough cleanliness. Learn more about our friction washer.
- Sink / float Separation Tank: Using water as a medium, materials that float are separated from materials that sink. In the case of PP / PE film recycling, this type of plastic film will float while heavier contamination (such as dirt, sand, glass, metals, other plastics) will sink. A screw conveyor at the bottom of the sink/float separation tank will constantly remove the contamination where it is stored for future removal. While separation is one aspect of this apparatus, a secondary function is to further clean the PE film. Learn more about our sink / float separation tank.
- Dewatering Machine: The first step in the drying process, our dewatering machine uses centrifugal force to remove a large portion of water within the PP / PE film before moving forward onto the thermal dryers. As thermal dryers use heat to dehydrate water, it requires more energy consumption during operation. Hence, the use of the dewatering machine is beneficial in savings for long run operations costs (mainly electricity consumption). Learn more about our dewatering machine.
- Screw Press Dewatering Machine: An optional piece of equipment, the screw press dewatering machine is a more advance version of ASG’s standard dewatering machine. Instead of using centrifugal force to remove water from the PP/PE film, the screw press squeezes the water out via high pressure. This machine can take the place of both the dewatering machine and thermal dryers. Learn more about our screw press dewatering machine.
- Thermal Dryer + Cyclone Separator: The clean PP / PE film is vacuumed out of the dewatering machine where it’ll travel down a series of stainless steel tubes where the plastic film will mix with hot air. The remaining moisture is dehydrated in this process which ends with a cyclone separator. The cyclone separator allow the PE film to mix with a fresh stream of cold air which prepares it for storage into the product silo. The cyclone separator is also effective in removing fines and such dust. Learn more about our thermal dryer and cyclone separator.
- Product Silo: A storage tank for the clean, dry pieces of PP or PE film.
- Pelletizer / Extruder: ASG Recycling offers both single-screw extruders and twin-screw extruders. Based on your requirements, we offer both one-stage and double-stage pelletizing setups where granules can be formed using a granulator or water-ring cutting.
