Electronic Waste Granulation

Recycling Application of E-Waste Granulation

Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a growing global problem that poses serious environmental and health risks. E-waste refers to the discarded electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) that contains various substances, such as metals, plastics, glass, and chemicals. E-waste is generated by rapid urbanization, technological advancements, and consumer preferences. The global annual growth rate of e-waste volume exceeds the growth rate of the human population.

EEE is essential for modern human society, but it also becomes e-waste at the end of its life cycle. E-waste is a challenging topic for sustainability, as it requires proper management and recycling to prevent pollution and resource depletion. E-waste contains a diverse range of plastics, depending on the age, type, and category of EEE. The most common e-waste plastic is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), which is a thermoplastic with elastomers that make it flexible and shock-resistant.

Aceretech Machinery is a leading company that has developed a high-efficiency plastic granulator for e-waste plastic recycling and granulation. The Aceretech ATE Parallel Twin Screw Extruder Pelletizer is a smart and innovative solution that can process various types of e-waste plastics, such as ABS, into high-quality pellets. The pellets can be reused for new products, saving costs and resources. The following is the actual application of Aceretech ATE double-stage pelletizer in Japanese clients:

ACERETECH machine type : ATE75/180 double stage pelletizing machine

Customer location : Japan

Material : PP & ABS rigid plastic

ATE75/180 double stage pelletizing machine

Machine configuration: Screw conveyor--Feeding machine--Parallel twin screw extruder--Large area piston type screen changer --180 single screw extruder-- Large area piston type screen changer--Strands pelletizing system--Electric control cabinet

Detailed introduction:

1. Screw conveyor : Feeding system, with U-shaped conveying pipe, using stainless steel material, with storage silo, stainless steel bottom with forced push screw.
2. Feeding machine : Installed above the main inlet of the extruder Equipped with a horizontal mixing device to prevent material bridging
3. Parallel twin screw extruder: Screw material Bimatel is more wear-resistant, melts and plasticizes gently, making the pellets quality better.
4. Large area piston type screen changer : Large screen changing area reduces the frequency of workers' screen changing, ensures the output and reduces the cost.
5. 180 single screw extruder:Special screw design, the barrel and screw are made of nitrided steel, and the core of the shaft is water cooled to better ensure the quality of the particles.
6. Large area piston type screen changer : Large screen changing area reduces the frequency of workers' screen changing, ensures the output and reduces the cost.
7. Strands pelletizing system : Water tank:special design, the material strip automatically follows the direction of the water flow to the direction of the pelletizer, and can be moved back and forth by the roller control.
8. Pelletizer : high-quality precision granulation
9. Vibration System : preliminary filtration of water, and screening of qualified particle sizes.
10. Lifting drying system : To let material gently be dryer. 
11. Weighing system : Realizing capacity inspection and material weighing.
