PE Lumps Recycling (from blown/cast film extruders)

2023/12/01

I believe many people are not unfamiliar with machine head materials--Lumps. Those factories with extrusion production lines or blown film machines may shut down during daily production due to various reasons. Therefore, when the machine is turned on again to adjust process parameters, it will produce lumps. So how should we handle these machine lumps?



ACERETECH is a creative company, focusing on the technology R&D of Plastic recycling and providing the equipments and solutions for Plastics recycling, washing and re-granulation.
We have much experience in recycle these lumps. By our recycling machine, customers can handle these lumps to granules. Then they can reuse these granules, which can save their materials and reduce their cost.

Let’s see the recycle process: 
1. For big size lumps, we will follow this kind of flowchart: Shredder, Crusher, ASE series single extruder, pelletizing system, drying system and product silo.



2. For small size lumps, we can directly use a crusher to reduce the lumps size to small pieces(Normally we need the flakes size between 10-14mm), then we put the small pieces flakes to our ASE series single screw extruder and pelletizing system to make them into granules. After drying, we blow them into our product silo.




Here for the pelletizing system, we need to choose suitable method according to different materials. For different materials and different capacity, we will provide you water strands type pelletizing system, water-ring pelletizing system, under-water pelletizing system, automatic pelletizing system, etc.

If you also have the problem with your lumps, please feel free to contact me and let me know.
