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.
 
Quality pays, ever
