HDPE nádrž recyklační linka proces a vybavení návod

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) drum recycling is a critical process for industries aiming to reduce waste and promote sustainability. An HDPE drum recycling line systematically processes used drums—commonly employed for storing chemicals, liquids, and various materials—transforming them into clean, reusable pellets or flakes. This guide delves into the machinery, steps, and advantages of implementing an efficient recycling system, positioning Rumtoo Machine as your trusted partner in industrial recycling solutions.

HDPE Drums

HDPE Recycled Granules

The typical HDPE drum recycling line encompasses sorting, size reduction, washing, drying, and pelletizing. These steps ensure the production of high-quality recycled HDPE material, which can be utilized in manufacturing new products, thereby conserving resources and minimizing environmental impact.

Recycling HDPE not only supports circular economy initiatives but also offers economic benefits by reducing raw material costs. Industries globally are adopting these systems to meet regulatory requirements and enhance their corporate sustainability profiles.

HDPE Drum Recycling System: Washing and Pelletizing Lines

The core of HDPE drum recycling involves two integrated lines: the washing line and the extrusion pelletizing line. Each plays a vital role in ensuring the output meets industry standards for purity and usability.

The washing process for HDPE drums is meticulous, designed to remove contaminants and prepare the material for further processing. Key steps include:

• Sběr a třídění: Used drums are gathered and sorted based on their condition and contamination levels.
• Pre-washing: High-pressure water jets remove loose dirt and debris.
• Chemical Cleaning: Drums are immersed in a specialized chemical bath to dissolve stubborn contaminants like grease and residues.
• Rinsing: Thorough rinsing eliminates any leftover chemicals.
• : Plovací/vysedací nádoby oddělují materiály podle hustoty; PET se ponoří, zatímco PP/PE plavou.: Hot air dryers ensure all moisture is removed, preparing the material for quality inspection.
• Quality Inspection: Washed materials are checked to meet stringent quality standards before moving to pelletizing.

Variations in drum size and contaminant type may require adjustments to this process, highlighting the need for customizable solutions like those offered by Rumtoo Machine.

Pre-treatment: Shredding Large HDPE Drums

Large HDPE drums often require shredding before entering the washing line. This pre-treatment step reduces the material to manageable flakes, facilitating easier cleaning and handling.

Shredding not only aids in contamination removal but also optimizes storage and transportation, making the recycling process more efficient and cost-effective.

The HDPE Drum Flakes Extrusion Pelletizing Process

Once washed and shredded, HDPE flakes undergo pelletizing to produce uniform granules suitable for reuse. The process involves:

1. Material Feeding: Flakes are fed into the system via a screw feeder.
2. : Plovací/vysedací nádoby oddělují materiály podle hustoty; PET se ponoří, zatímco PP/PE plavou.: Any residual moisture is removed using a hot air dryer to ensure pellet quality.
3. Heating and Melting: An extruder heats and melts the flakes into a molten state.
4. Shaping: The molten plastic is shaped into pellets through a die head.
5. Cooling: Pellets are cooled to room temperature using a water bath or conveyor.
6. Cutting: A pelletizer cuts the cooled strands into consistent granules.
7. Storage: Finished pellets are bagged or stored for distribution.

Compatible Plastics for HDPE Drum Washing Lines

HDPE drum washing lines are versatile and can process various plastic materials with a density less than water, including:

• PP (Polypropylene) containers and big bags
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and profiles
• PE (Polyethylene) agricultural film and fabric
• LDPE (Low-density Polyethylene) film and bags

These materials can be efficiently cleaned and recycled with minor adjustments to the washing parameters. However, plastics contaminated with hazardous substances require special handling and are not suitable for standard recycling lines.
