ACERETECH's customized PP/PS rigid waste recycling and pelletizing line, tailored for a Southeast Asian customer, has successfully completed installation and commissioning and officially entered production. After years of stable operation, the line has earned high praise from the customer for its excellent output, exceptional pellet purity, and high level of automation.
Precise insights and customized solutions address complex challenges.
This Southeast Asian customer specializes in processing recycled PP (polypropylene) and PS (polystyrene) rigid waste, and has specific requirements for the yield, purity, and consistent performance of the final recycled pellets. A professional team of ACERETECH business managers and technical engineers conducted an in-depth analysis of the customer's raw material characteristics and production goals.
After thorough technical discussions, the team designed an innovative combination solution for the customer: two twin-screw extruders for compounding and one single-screw extruder for pelletizing. This solution not only achieves efficient recycling but also adds new performance value to the recycled materials, perfectly matching the customer's market positioning.
Cutting-edge configurations create an efficient and stable production line
The production line delivered this time integrates multiple core technologies and high-end configurations from ACERETECH, ensuring superior performance under complex operating conditions:
1. Intelligent Batching Core - Doing System Loss-in-Weight Scale: The "brain" of the production line. The LIW (Loss-in-Weight) automatic control system of the LIW scale enables online metering and proportioning of main ingredients, additives, and modifiers with an accuracy of 0.2%. This not only ensures the absolute accuracy of each batch's product formulation but also provides a solid data foundation for the stable modification of plastic pellets.
2. Efficient Modification Engine - Parallel Twin-Screw Extruders (x2): Two high-performance parallel twin-screw extruders are key to the production line's "waste-to-treasure" transformation. Their powerful shearing, dispersing, and mixing capabilities enable them to fully melt, blend, and modify recycled PP/PS hard materials with various additives (such as toughening agents and reinforcements), effectively improving the mechanical properties and weather resistance of the recycled materials, making their performance equal to or even exceeding that of virgin materials.
3. Stable Granulation Guarantee - Single-Screw Extruder Pelletizer (x1): The single-screw pelletizer operates smoothly, providing a stable and uniform material flow for subsequent precise pelletizing, a crucial step in ensuring uniform pellet shape and size.
4. Automation and Quality Assurance Systems:
* Non-Stop Piston Filter: Automatically removes impurities during production without stopping for screen changes, significantly improving production continuity and efficiency.
* Underwater Strand Pelletizing: Utilizing an advanced pelletizing method, this system produces smooth, burr-free, non-sticky pellets with uniform cooling and superior quality.
* Brand-Name Electrical Components: Utilizing internationally renowned electrical components from Siemens, Schneider, and other brands throughout the entire production line, this ensures high stability and long-term durability.
* Pneumatic Hopper and Homogenizer: Automated conveying and thorough mixing of pellets are achieved. The homogenizer evenly blends pellets produced at different times, eliminating minor performance variations and ensuring highly consistent performance in every package.
* Automatic Particle Packaging System: Automating the entire process from production to packaging reduces manual intervention and improves packaging efficiency and accuracy.
Customer Satisfaction, Working Together for a Green Future
At the customer site, the entire workshop was clean, tidy, and well-organized, a stark contrast to traditional recycling plants. ACERETECH's equipment not only delivers exceptional performance, but its user-friendly design and environmentally friendly approach have also earned customer recognition.
The successful delivery of this project is not only a strong demonstration of ACERETECH's technological strength and customized service capabilities, but also marks a solid step forward in the company's efforts to deepen its presence in the Southeast Asian market and contribute to the global plastics circular economy. Going forward, ACERETECH will continue to be driven by innovation and guided by customer needs, providing global partners with more efficient, intelligent, and environmentally friendly plastic recycling solutions.
