How does Dewatering Machine Play a Key Role in Plastic Recycling?
Dewatering machine is mainly used to remove water and compress various plastic packaging. It can process a variety of packaging products such as beverage bottles, Tetra Pak packaging, yogurt cups and aluminum cans. The liquid in the container is removed, the water content is reduced, and the volume is compressed to 1/20 or 1/50 of the original volume, which is convenient for subsequent transportation.
The key links of plastic recycling mainly include collection, compression, crushing, cleaning and granulation. The plastic by-products produced in each key link can be traded to obtain lucrative profits. For example, the beverage bottle bricks compressed by the beverage bottles dewatering machine can be sold to downstream recyclers.
GREENMAX dewatering machine, belonging to INTCO Recycling, uses spiral compression technology to efficiently remove residual liquid from plastic containers and compress it into a 50:1 high-density block for subsequent processing and recycling.
First, the staff needs to put the PET bottles, aluminum cans and other beverage bottles to be processed into the feed port of the beverage bottles dewatering machine. Then, the spiral device inside the dewatering machine starts to rotate, pushing the plastic bottles forward. Under the continuous action of the spiral, the plastic bottles are compressed into high-density blocks and discharged from the discharge port, which is convenient for subsequent storage and transportation of plastic recycling.
At the same time, the machine continuously applies pressure to squeeze out the residual liquid in the container. These liquids are collected through the water collection tray at the bottom of the machine and discharged through the drain port. The water collection tray of the GREENMAX dewatering machine is made of stainless steel, which can withstand most liquids with low pH values and effectively reduce liquid corrosion.
Compared with plastic bottle volume reduction equipment such as baler, beverage bottles dewatering machine focuses more on removing water from the container, reducing the moisture content, and compressing the plastic bottles into blocks. Baler is to compact loose materials such as plastic bottles, cardboard, etc. into high-density rectangular blocks through mechanical pressure and bundle them with metal wires.
This plastic recycling equipment lacks professional water collection and drainage equipment, and focuses more on compressing and bundling plastic bottles. However, the dewatering machine does not have the bundling function, and the compressed plastic bottles cannot form a regular rectangle.
These two machines can be used together to achieve the most perfect dewatering and compression effect. Beverage bottles are first dehydrated by the dewatering machine, and then compressed and packaged by the baler to form a complete plastic recycling process. At the same time, the water content of the processed plastic bottle bricks is low and the bundling is tight, which can greatly improve the subsequent recycling efficiency.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to providing recycling equipment such as dewatering machines and balers, INTCO Recycling also purchases plastic bottles and bricks from around the world to make recycled PET products. If you are interested in plastic recycling equipment or have bottles and bricks that need to be processed, leave your comments and INTCO Recycling will contact you in time.
