Polymer recycled granule is a product of processing of polymeric materials. These granules are quite in demand in production, they are used in many of its areas. First of all, they are used for the manufacture of polymer products. These include plastic bags, various plastic containers, boxes, trays, and so on. According to its characteristics, this raw material is practically no different from the material from which it was obtained. From the differences from the starting material, only the presence of a slight odor (due to the use of additives) can be distinguished, as well as a slightly lower light transmittance. But, since pellets are used for the manufacture of non-food products, these differences do not play a significant role.
Stages of pellet production:
- Sort material to be recycled.
- Cleaning, removing impurities.
- Crushing. Things are ground into powder. Various dyes are added as needed.
- Granulation.
After that, the products go to the warehouse for storage.
Recycled polymer granules have the following important advantages:
- First of all, it is worth highlighting the low cost of raw materials. It is obtained practically from garbage, so it is very cheap. Therefore, the use of pellets is beneficial in production, since it allows you to minimize costs.
- Polymer raw materials are characterized by a high level of stability. Granules are able to withstand significant temperature changes, they are not afraid of fat or moisture. The material does not corrode, it can serve for many years without losing its performance.
- Low weight, which allows you to reduce the cost of transporting materials.
- Raw materials are environmentally friendly, do not harm the environment and human health.
- No scale builds up inside the pipes made of granules. This reduces the likelihood of blockages.
