Recycling Industry in Taiwan, Increasing Quality and Output for International Plastic Processing Factories

New regulations in many countries now require producers to use a higher percentage of recycled content in flexible and rigid packaging products. The instability of raw material prices and supplies also forces plastic producers to better recycle their production waste.

With the great importance of recycled-based plastic products, the global demand for plastic recycling is expanding. Recyclers are now purchasing more advanced technologies and much plastic equipment at once, as well as bigger pelletizing extruders.

We have different manufacturers having new developments and especially focusing on how to increase the potential as a whole of their machines.

Below we mention some examples of manufacturers and their latest developments, all going in the same direction and taking care of what international customers are concerned about, such as an increase in output, multi-purpose recycling machines, higher efficiency, and also lower maintenance costs.

POLYSTAR

They are really well known in the industry due to the high efficiency and convenience of their machinery. They have different models of machinery, mainly focusing on post-consumer and post-industrial recycling.

For recyclers who process washed and fully printed post-consumer waste, Polystar offers an option of adding a second extruder to the Repro-Flex model. Also having a cutter compactor built in and operating with the same working principles, the two-stage model Repro-Flex Plus has a total of three degassing zones and two filtration steps throughout the entire recycling process. This model is also ideal for processing post-industrial laminated/multi-layered waste.

When processing post-consumer materials, the cutter-compactor reduces the ink and moisture level of the material coming from the washing lines, such as washed flakes (from film and woven bags) as well as regrind waste from milk and shampoo bottles. At the same time, it stabilizes the material being fed into the extrusion pelletizing line to ensure consistent production output and better pellets quality.

The reusability of recycled pellets has become more important than ever for plastic producers who recycle and reprocess their in-house waste. Besides packaging film producers, woven bag producers now also require higher quality recycling (minimal material degradation) to reduce production costs as much as possible.

The Repro-One recycling technology from POLYSTAR is a combination of shredder, extruder, and pelletizer in one machine. This one-step, powerful (shredder) yet gentle (low processing temperature) process produces the best possible pellets quality at the lowest operation cost, enabling the producers to reuse all of the pellets back in PP tape extrusion lines.

Lower maintenance cost is a key advantage of using a POLYSTAR. The cost of consumable parts is 2.5~3 times lower compared to European machine suppliers of similar built quality.

Boretech

They are the world leading PET bottle recycling washing plant manufacturer with more than 30 years of PET recycling production experience and more than 15 years of equipment manufacture experience.

During K2022 they are going to present their latest development ES-Process PET bottle recycling system which adopts an integrated equipment process to reduce the area required and improve automation of operation. Compared to the standard Boretech line, the new ES process has less requirement on footprint, unit energy, and a more reliable mechanical design which ensures the durability of the system.

The ES-process PET bottle recycling system is mainly oriented to potential customers in countries with high land and labor cost. This process has higher technical application, reasonable process flow, compact equipment layout, and modularization.

The main advantages of the new ES process we can mention as follow: Smaller footprint, Convenient in Maintenance, Environmental protection, and sustainability, and also Quality improvements.
