Applications:

Plastic recycling and reuse:

Plastic recycling extruder plays a vital role in the field of plastic recycling and reuse. It can efficiently process various waste plastics, such as PET bottles, HDPE barrels, PP packaging bags, etc., into high-quality reusable particles through crushing, cleaning, melting and extrusion.

Engineering plastic modification:

In the field of engineering plastic modification, plastic recycling extruder plays an irreplaceable role. By adding various fillers, reinforcing fibers, flame retardants, plasticizers and other modifiers, plastic recycling extruders can change the original properties of engineering plastics, such as improving strength, hardness, wear resistance, impact resistance, etc., to meet the special needs of plastic products in different fields.

Masterbatch production:

Masterbatch is a concentrated pigment particle composed of pigment, carrier resin and additives, with excellent color brightness and dispersibility. In the production process of masterbatch, plastic recycling extruder plays a key role. It can fully mix the pigment and carrier resin, and evenly disperse the pigment in the carrier resin through high-temperature melting and extrusion process to form masterbatch.

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE/TPU) Processing:

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE/TPU) is a new type of plastic material with rubber-like elasticity and plastic processing performance. In the field of TPE/TPU processing, plastic recycling extruders can produce soft and durable plastic products.

Mixing of highly filled materials:

When preparing highly filled materials, plastic recycling extruders can evenly disperse a high proportion of fillers (such as calcium carbonate, talcum powder, wollastonite, etc.) into plastics to ensure product stability and consistency. These fillers can not only improve the strength and hardness of plastic products, but also reduce production costs and density. At the same time, plastic recycling extruders can also achieve blending and modification of different types of fillers by adjusting process parameters and formula design, and develop new highly filled materials with special properties.

Plastic Recycling Extruder Types:

Co-Rotating Twin Screw Extruder: 

Both screws rotate in the same direction, offering efficient mixing and homogenization. Ideal for compounding, masterbatch production, and processing thermoplastic elastomers.

Counter-Rotating Twin Screw Extruder: 

Screws rotate in opposite directions, providing gentle mixing, suitable for processing materials like PVC.

Intermeshing Twin Screw Extruder: 

Screws engage with each other, enhancing mixing and shearing, perfect for high-viscosity materials and complex formulations.

Non-Intermeshing Twin Screw Extruder: 

Screws operate independently, providing lower shear, ideal for applications requiring minimal material stress.

FAQs:
