- Fibres recycling.
-
-
- If
you're "force feeding" ground, fluffy
fibers into an extruder, may be with a stick, this
is for you.
-
- Fibres
can be out of PA, PMMA, PET, PP and HDPE.
-
- In
nowadays, most of fibres are out of PA and PET.
-
- As
far as PA concern there are two known ways to recycle
them:
- One
is the "Erema" type of feeders/extruders
and second is what is known as "Condux"
pelletizer.
-
- As
far as we know, right now, nobody came up with anything
better so you should stick with this.
-
- When
it goes to PET situation is different, meaning if
you need a better final product you may want to
make it in a different way.
-
- PET,
like all other fibres, contain quite a bit of moisture,
even you feel it dry, therefore you should expect
a polymer degradation, at least as far as IV dropping.
-
- On
top of this, any recycler should take care of oil
finishing and other additives pretty common in fibres
spinning.
-
- These
stuff need to be, if not completely removed, decreased
in quantity before going to extrusion.
-
- And
if your scraps are clean, that means without dust,
paper and things like that, you should be able to
upgrade the IV and get a pellet very good for any
further application.

pays, ever
