T-type PET Bottle Recycling
System
Description
:
It’s been over *0 years in developing washing, recycling of
wasted PET bottles’ production process. From the ways of handling
procedures, it’s been divided 2 main streams, which are Washing,
Separation first, Grinding last. Or grinding first then Washing,
Separation last. The whole concepts are followed the front
processes, and some of functions are included rear one.
The key point of recycling the material from wasted plastics
is the percentage of impurities removed. Which impurities are
included in the polluted substances of the environment, other
materials attached with the original main plastic body. Even with
different colors of material.
With the variety of other recycled materials, the recycled PET
is differ from others due to the high quality PET material’s
standard is allowed the impurities less then **0ppm only, So, how
economically and efficiently to increase the percentage, is the
designer’s main target.
The reasons of our process can achieve this economic and
efficient target. We controlled the core of different impurities’
characters. And through our different?functional module’
equipments, created the best of impurities separation environments,
to purify the PET material step by step.
Functional Module Unit
Introduction
=== De-baling &
Washing Unit ===
Under powerful stirring, Bottle-Washer combined de-baling and
pre-washing functions, it also makes the processes brief and
economics. Combined the power functions of machinery, chemistry and
heat energy, those impurities (including environment polluted
substances and labels, but PVC thermal shrinkage labels excluded)
will be separated and removed over *0%. Afterwards process
equipments will be protected properly due to purified bottle
bodies. Especially in grind machines will less suffer because of
those polluted substances.
=== Buffer &
Rationing Unit ===
Connected Bottle-Washer’s lots operation with followed
processes operations, these stable production flow and variable
out-put quantity will match production management’s required.
=== PVC label Scraping
Unit ===
To focus on the most difficult handling PVC labels issue which
existed in Asia or other areas, our PVC label scraping unit can
scrape the PVC label on bottles efficiently. Also, suggests that it
would be installed in main production line when the PVC labels over
*0% areas, and less *0% would be installed in sub-line.
=== Label Separation
Unit ===
Using gravity and floating effect and ratio difference between
bottle-body and label’s mass/area, to remove those labels which has
been separated but still mixed with bottle-bodies
=== Bottles Sorting
Unit ===
This unit is final separation screen before the bottle
smashed, to screen those very few left other substances (such as
different material bottles, different colors, a few labels’ ashes,
metal reaction substances, garbage, etc). In those areas where
recycled bottles are very simplification ( over *5% is single
material and color ). Or at relativity lower labor cost areas,
suggested using manual sorting unit. Otherwise, fully-automatic
sorting unit can be replaced, which sorting by optics
equipments’signal (Infrared ray and X-ray) to detect different
bottles’ colors and materials. The feedback signals will effect
mechanical and aerodynamics equipments to screen those
bottles.
=== Wet Grinding Unit
===
This unit is specially designed for smashing PET bottles,
which have following characteristics: in-put smoothly and out-put
stably, low power consumption, low noise and vibration, strong
structure, low maintenance cost. It’s designed by a wet
grinding
way, which not only using the water impact to enforce the
cleanness of PET flakes, also less the blades' suffer. Due to cold
water decreased the high temperature which caused by the friction
effect, and it’s long lasting the blades’ life too.
=== Gravity Separation
by Water Unit ===
The smashed flakes are mixed with smashed PP material caps,
this unit is using the gravity difference (~1.3/~0.8) of PET and PP
, and using water (gravity 1) as a media to let PET down and PP
floating above the water. This effective will make PET more
purified, and after collected PP flakes and dried it, and this is a
standardized productions.
=== Friction Washing
with Hot Solution Unit ===
After finished above functional Group unit, the quality’s
range of total impurities content under **0ppm (2/****0) already.
Also, focus on down stream markets’ quality demanding more
stricter, this unit’s aim to the ultimate purity of the PET flakes.
Using of 3 major rinsing effective, which are mechanical, chemical,
thermal, achieved total impurities under the range of **0ppm
(1/****0)
=== Drying &
Packing Unit ===
Go through the centrifuge and thermal dryer equipment, the dry
degree shall less then 1% before the packing, And packaging
equipment included a collector tank as well as a vibration base
that cause the whole package more density and tighter.
=== Solution
Circulation & Treatment System ===
Our formula detergent with following characteristics; power
rinse effectiveness, low bubbles, low residue, easy management of
wasted water etc. Detergent functioned in a closed circulation
system, which equipped self-clean system that maintaining the
detergent density in right time and right quantity for keeping the
rinse cleanness.
For ensure the effectiveness of rinsing, the clean water used
in the washing unit can be re-used, and this function will achieve
the water consumption to a most economic condition.
