The first and the second guiding device are fixedly arranged in relation to each other so that when the accumulation device is rotated around its rotational shaft, the first guiding device as well as the second guiding device is rotated around the rotational shaft. A feeding arrangement and a granulator including such an accumulator device are also provided.

A plastics recycling preparation container canister includes a stationary disc configured with cutting teeth disposed on an axial surface thereof, the stationary disc disposed substantially orthogonal to an underside of a hinged lid for the container. The container canister also includes a spinning disc configured with cutting teeth disposed on an axial surface thereof, the spinning disc disposed on a sidewall of the container. A ramp for directing plastics to be shredded to the spinning disc is implemented followed by the stationary disc swung into a parallel position to the spinning disc in a sandwich configuration around the plastics to be shredded. The stationary disc and the spinning disc are separated by a space configured to accommodate the respective cutting teeth thereof and a space for shards of the plastic consumer recyclable. The cutting teeth of both discs are shaped like a parrot's beak comprising a rhinotheca tomium cutting surface.

Disclosed is an accumulation device (150) operable in a feeding arrangement (110) of a granulator, for accumulating substantially flat material to be granulated. The accumulation device (150) comprises a first guiding device (152) and a second guiding device (154).

Granulator mill (1) comprising granule chamber (3) comprising at least one non-rotatable blade (4), rotatable rotor (8) arranged inside the granule chamber (3), the rotor (8) comprising a number of blades (10) which are arranged for cooperation with the non-rotatable blade (4), a infeed hopper (5) for feeding waste into the granule chamber, a grid arranged in the granule chamber, where through granulated waste is allowed to pass to an outfeed hopper (30). A scraping device (15) is provided in a space (14) located axially in between a housing (2) and the rotatable rotor (8) and the scraping device (15) is attached to the housing (2).

PROCESS FOR RECYCLING LAMINATED POLYMER PACKAGING COMPRISING ALUMINIUM contained in the application field of recycling processes, more precisely in the field of recycling processes for laminate polymeric packaging. Said process comprises stages of crushing and preliminary washing of laminate polymeric packages comprising aluminum, selective aluminum dissolution reaction, cleaning and drying, obtaining recycled fragments. The recycling process showed in the invention stands out from its similar by using the process of selective dissolution of laminate polymeric packaging comprising aluminum complemented by a combination of process parameters and steps that aim to accelerate and optimize the dissolution process and guarantee the purity and yield of the products obtained according to the process described herein.

A toothed disc cleaner includes a first cleaning tool and a second cleaning tool that face each other and a rotary drive configured to rotationally drive at least one of the first and second cleaning tools. The first and second cleaning tools each include a working surface including a plurality of cleaning teeth, and an annular working gap delimited between the working surfaces and structured for pre-cleaning the plastic waste. An inlet opens centrally into the working gap and a feed apparatus is structured to feed the plastic waste through the inlet. An outlet is structured to discharge the pre-cleaned plastic waste in the working gap. A width of the working gap narrows outward from the inlet in a first section and is kept constant in a second section arranged radially outside of the first section. The cleaning teeth of the working surfaces mesh together in a mutually spaced manner.

A method for cleaning pre-comminuted plastic waste includes pretreating pre-comminuted plastic waste using a pretreatment apparatus. The pretreating includes at least one of (i) heating the pre-comminuted plastic waste with a heating apparatus of the pre-treatment apparatus to a cleaning temperature, and (ii) adding at least one cleaning additive and mixing the plastic waste with the at least one cleaning additive by the pretreatment apparatus. The pre-comminuted, pretreated plastic waste output from the pretreatment apparatus is cleaned in a cleaning apparatus. The cleaning includes directing the pre-comminuted, pretreated plastic waste together with a cleaning liquid through a working gap defined between mutually facing working surfaces of two cleaning tools that each include a plurality of cleaning teeth. The two cleaning tools are rotatably driven relative to each other to remove impurities from the pre-comminuted plastic waste. The cleaned, pre-comminuted plastic waste is then dried by a drying apparatus.
