What is plastic waste and how is it treated?
PET (PET). Such plastic is mainly used in the production of disposable beverage containers. Typical PET packaging is bottles of mineral water.
HDPE (HDPE). High-pressure polyethylene is a colorless, thermoplastic material. It has a high level of strength.
PCV (PVC). Polyvinyl chloride is very often used, for example, in the production of packaging film for food products.
LDPE (HDPE or HDPE). Low—pressure polyethylene is a polymer with a high level of hardness and rigidity. It is produced by polymerization of ethylene under low pressure.
PS (PS). Polystyrene is well known in the form of foam. PS releases toxins and should not be used as food packaging.
Almost all types of plastic can be compacted (compressed) using hydraulic presses of various modifications.
Vertical presses
The vertical press is designed for pressing secondary raw materials and then packing them into a dense bale (bale). Due to its compactness, the press can be installed in small rooms. The type of press is hydraulic. The press is equipped with a press plate located inside the press chamber, which moves in a vertical plane and compresses the material loaded into the press chamber. Eventually, a dense pile is formed from the bulk secondary raw materials. The main idea of using pressing equipment is to reduce the volume of pressed material in order to reduce the cost of transporting it to the processing site.
Horizontal presses
They allow you to press secondary raw materials in automatic mode, i.e. the press turns on when the secondary raw materials enter the loading window, then, as the material arrives, the press forms a dense pile and ties it with wire. The operator provides the supply of secondary raw materials and the reception of finished bales
Semi-automatic horizontal presses
This group of presses is also suitable for pressing large volumes of secondary raw materials, but differs only in that the fact of forming a dense pile requires the operator to participate in the process of strapping it. This group of presses is also suitable for pressing large volumes of secondary raw materials, but differs only in that the fact of forming a dense pile requires the operator to participate in the process of strapping it. They allow you to press secondary raw materials in automatic mode, i.e. the press is switched on at the moment of receipt of secondary raw materials into the loading window, then, as the material arrives, the press forms a dense pile and ties it with wire. The operator provides the supply of secondary raw materials and the reception of finished bales
