Introduction of Waste Plastics Crushing Processes

In waste plastics recycling process, waste plastics crushing is one of the most important processes, the volume of waste plastic is reduced, which is convenient for subsequent processing. The equipment mainly includes the cutting machine and the crushing machine, whose basic principle is to destroy the material's integrity depend on the shear strength and the impact strength.



Different shredder equipment have their own advantages. Relatively speaking, waste plastic crushing machine is suitable for shredding soft small, broken materials, such as PE film, beverage bottles, EPS shredding machine is suitable for crushing large lump material, rolled into a tube, extruder head materials, such as bundles of woven bags etc..


The commonly used crushing equipment has different kinds of compression type, impact type, shear type, knock type and grind type. The choice of crushing equipment mainly depends on the type, shape and the degree of the grinding material. Different materials should be used in different crushing equipment. Hard PVC, polystyrene, organic glass, phenol formaldehyde resin, urea formaldehyde resin, polyester resin, etc. are brittle plastic. They are fragile brittle, once compressed, are very easy to broke into small pieces, this type of plastic is suitable for crushing.

And for the ductile plastic, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, poly acid amine, ABS plastic, etc., are suitable for shear type polystyrene crushing equipment, because they are easy to be effected by outside compression, bending impact and other forces.


In addition, for elastic materials, soft materials, it is best to use low-temperature crushing. In addition, we should determine the extent of crushing equipment according to the need to crush the waste. If crushing the large pieces into small pieces, we should use compression, impact or cutting equipment; if putting small pieces into fine powder, we should use abrasive grinding equipment.



So what is your material? And what results you need?

Here recommend UK ENERPAT to you, which is professional shredder manufacturer since 1936, with UK design and technology.

How many types of aluminum scrap, and how do we recycle more aluminum?

Image
7 Common Types of Aluminum Scrap When scrapping you may come across a wide variety of scrap aluminum. While there are several materials that are classified as “aluminum” there are many different types that are priced and sorted differently at scrap yards. Below we have some of the common types of aluminum scrap you will come across when scrapping. Sheet Aluminum– This category includes material like lawn chairs without the webbing, some lighter gauge pots and pans, window frames with small amounts of plastic or steel attached, and jacketing from MC cable. Cast Aluminum– A type of aluminum that looks to have been poured into a mold. Something like a BBQ grill, molds from certain applications, or larger light pole bases. Dirty Aluminum– This would be anything that has steel, rubber, or plastic attached. If there are steel bolts going through something we would classify this as dirty as well. When scrap yards see any type of non-aluminum material mixed in with the “clean” a

Basic Knowledge of Getting Profit from Wood Shavings (Sawdust)

Image
Maybe some people don't know how to get profit from sawdust, they maybe ask what it is used for, being confused with this area. Accordingly I post this article, hope it will help to let you have a basic knowledge about the sawdust. Sawdust has wide usage, as following. Make fake snow. Mix sawdust with white paint and glue to cover holiday crafts with simulated snow. Get a grip. Winter loggers spread sawdust on their truck paths. It provides traction and strengthens compacted snow while protecting the ground underneath. Soak up spills. Keep a bucket handy for accidents. Sawdust is highly absorbent and can quickly contain spills of oil or paint. Feed your plants. Sawdust mixed with manure or a nitrogen supplement keeps your plants healthy and moist, too. Make a fire starter. Melt candle wax in a nonstick pot, add sawdust until the liquid thickens, pour into an empty egg carton, and let cool. Use the briquettes to help get a fire going. Fill wood holes and defects.

Difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder

Image
What is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder? Both  single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder are commonly used in waste recycling field, but they are different in a few aspects. 1.  Machine structure is different: Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft with rotary blades, a hydraulic-driven pusher plate/arm, and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. 2.  The application of material is different: Single Shaft Shredder is mainly applied to shred thick and solid materials such as molding purgings/runners/sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bones, wood pallets, etc. Double Shaft Shredder normally is used to shred small to large sized relatively light or hollow products, such car/truck tires, film, plastic
