Based in Tainan, Taiwan, Polystar Machinery Co. Ltd. says both its cutter compactor and shredder models are gaining popularity among plastic scrap recyclers and reprocessors worldwide. .
Jack Lynn, vice president of global sales for the equipment company, says the Polystar Repro-Flex Cutter Compactor “provides clear advantages, especially for large recycling extruders.” The natural heat and friction generated by the rotation of the machine “allows us to quickly compress and densify the lighter material into a stiffer shape and feed it into the extruder at a constant rate,” says Lin.
“Today, there are 1,200 Repro-Flex recycling machines in operation around the world,” says Lin. He said Polystar offers the option of adding his second extruder to his Repro-Flex model for recyclers who process washed and fully printed post-consumer scrap. I’m here.
“The two-stage model Repro-Flex Plus has a total of three degassing zones and two filtration steps throughout the recycling process,” says Lin. “This model is also ideal for processing post-industrial laminates or multi-layers. [scrap]”
Polystar Repro-One recycling technology is also gaining popularity, according to Lin. This “combines a shredder, an extruder and a pelletizer in his one machine,” Lin says.
Mr. Lin continues. “This one-step strong (shredder) yet gentle (low processing temperature) process produces the highest possible pellet quality at the lowest operating costs, allowing producers to convert all pellets to polypropylene ( PP) can be reused in tape extrusion lines.”
He adds: [scrap] From bottles of milk and shampoo. At the same time, it stabilizes the material fed into the extrusion pelletizing line to ensure consistent output and better pellet quality. ”
Lin said increased investment in automation in India has made the country a growth market for Polystar, particularly PP Rafia. [sacks], woven bags, and flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) producers. In India he has more than 105 of his Repro-One recycling machines installed, and in other parts of the world he has more than 350, the salesperson added.
Mr. Lin said that Polystar’s addition of a third production facility in Taiwan has enabled “shorter machine delivery times, timely spare parts support, and better service to our customers.” It has become.”
Mr. Lin concludes:
