Agglomeration Machine
Functionality:
Agglomeration machines are designed to convert loose plastic materials into compact chips, making them suitable for feeding directly into an extruder. This transformation improves handling and efficiency in recycling processes.
Design Structure:
The agglomerator features a robust cylindrical chamber equipped with four high-speed rotating blades and eight fixed blades. These blades generate frictional heat, softening the material and enabling its transformation.
Material Processing:
A water shock is applied during the process to enhance material transformation. As the water evaporates, the semi-molten plastic exits through a pneumatically controlled discharge door in chip form.
Versatility in Use:
Agglomerators are not only used for densification but also serve as efficient material dryers. They are especially suitable for thin-walled waste materials like plastic bag trims, turning them into reusable raw materials.
Material Options & Construction:
Manufacturing with stainless steel is available depending on the boiler design, ensuring durability and hygiene.
Blade System:
Blades are produced from high-grade, heat-treated steel for long-lasting performance and durability under intense operational conditions.
Bearing System:
Equipped with oil-lubricated, long-life bearing systems for smoother operation and reduced maintenance.
Cooling & Shock Unit:
The unit includes an automatic water freezing system for effective thermal shock during processing.
Valve System:
Hydraulic or pneumatic valves are used to ensure efficient discharge and operation control.
Steam Removal:
The fan motor assists in removing steam generated during the process, enhancing drying performance.
Control Panel:
Operates with an independent control system, allowing precise adjustments and easy integration with different setups.
Additional Heating:
An optional resistance heating system can be included in the main body, tailored to specific raw materials.
Conclusion:
Agglomeration machines are versatile, efficient, and customizable solutions for recycling operations. With drying capabilities, advanced blade and bearing systems, and optional stainless-steel construction, they deliver consistent performance in transforming loose plastic waste into valuable feedstock.
