Small footprint pre-treatment plant and decentralized food waste separation and treatment

The subject matter proposes an automated compact depackaging system. The depackaging system includes a receiving hopper, a vertical depackager, dumpsters and a sedimentation unit. The vertical depackager simultaneously removes and cleans packaging materials and the materials that exit the system are clean and organics free. The system also includes a dosing device for dosed discharge of waste or bulk material into the hopper. The hopper may also receive the organic wastes directly from trucks. The dosing device is fitted with metal to identify metals in the bulk material. The assembly includes a grabber on an overhead crane to pick up the metal piece once located. The hopper comprises air doors and air roofs to keep off from smell spreading into the room. The organics that are extracted from the waste are free of plastics and other packaging material.

Process for recycling polyolefin

The present invention relates to a process for recycling polyolefin, comprising the steps of: 1) feeding a solid post-consumer polyolefin composition comprising polyolefin and contaminants and a flow of an extraction fluid to an extractor having a pressure of 100-1000 bar and a temperature of 20-80° C. to obtain a solid extracted composition, 2) melting the solid extracted composition to obtain a melted composition, 3) providing particles from the melted composition by: 3a) mixing a flow of a supercritical fluid in the melted composition in a pressure vessel to obtain a solution saturated with the supercritical fluid and 3b) passing the solution from the pressure vessel through a throttling device to a spraying tower to expand the solution to obtain polyolefin particles in the spraying tower.

WASTE TIRE RESOURCEFUL REGENERATION TREATMENT METHOD
20240033975 · 2024-02-01 ·

A waste tire resourceful regeneration treatment method is provided, including: step S1, sorting, including: sorting waste tires according to types of the waste tires to obtain target waste tires with steel wires; and step S2, bead-cutting, including: performing a bead-cutting process on the target waste tires through a bead-cutting machine, to cut the target waste tires into beads and first remaining portions separated from the beads. With respect to the method, the target waste wires with steel wires are sorted out from waste wires of different types, a bead-cutting machine is used to remove beads with steel wires from the waste tires with steel wires and separate the steel wires from the beads with steel wires, then a series of processes including cleaning, crushing, magnetic separation, fiber separation, sieving, desulphurizing, and cooling are performed to obtain recycled resources of the waste tires.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN RPET PLASTIC MATERIAL FOR USE IN A THIN WALL INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS AND HOLLOW BODY PRODUCED IN THE THIN WALL INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS
20240100742 · 2024-03-28 ·

The invention relates to a method in which a starting material for injection-molding, having a viscosity of between 0.50 and 0.7 dL/g, is produced with the aid of a chain breaker from a recycled post-consumer PET having a viscosity of between 0.72 and 0.86 dL/g according to ASTM D4603 and a copolymer fraction of at most approximately 3%. In the method, the comminuted and dried PET material is melted and decontaminated to such a degree that it is suitable for applications in the food sector and the consumer goods sector. A chain breaker is added to the rPET material in the melt of the recycling extruder and/or preferably the melt of the injection unit in order to lower the viscosity and to enrich the PET with copolymers.

MULTI-AXIS VARIABLE-SPEED HOT WASHING MODULE AND HOT WASHING METHOD THEREOF
20240116088 · 2024-04-11 ·

A multi-axis variable-speed hot washing module and a hot washing method thereof are provided. The multi-axis variable-speed hot washing module includes a storage assembly, a dehydration assembly, and one or more multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machines, where the multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine is connected to the storage assembly and the dehydration assembly. Batches of materials are stored in the storage assembly. When cleaning, the materials are put from the storage assembly into one or more multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machines, and medicinal water is added. The multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine replaces functions of a hot washing machine, a screw, and a friction machine, and has relatively large mechanical friction on the materials during cleaning. The materials after being hot washed by the multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine are transported to the dehydration assembly for dehydration, so as to implement separation of cleaning water and the materials.
