The Must-haves in a Recycling Plant

Either running a recycling plant or going to set up a recycling business, long term profit and sustainability are what we care about. Regardless of competent employees and the complexity of waste, let’s have a closer look at our machines, especially at those that can increase our efficiency the most.

Crusher and Shredder

While most companies use crushers for copper wire, they’re also great for destroying materials into plastic, wood, and metal. In addition to a crusher, every recycling facility should have either a two-shaft or four-shaft shredder as a primary size reduction. Remember materials go through shredder first then crusher. The main difference between a crusher and a shredder is their speed and the size of the output. Wiscon Crushers are faster and break down the material to extremely small particles, while shredders are slower and leave larger particles. A productive Wiscon dual shaft shredder should take care of most of the volume reduction jobs.

Magnetic Separator/Eddy Current Separator

Whether your facility primarily handles metal recycling or not, you should have a magnetic separator to help you sort out ferrous materials from nonferrous materials. If you’re searching for metal objects to recycle, a magnetic separator or belt magnetic separator will do all the hard work for you and discard anything you don’t want. Alternatively, if you don’t handle metal at your facility, a magnetic separator will sort smaller ferrous materials efficiently and allow you to sell them to another facility.

De-Baler

No recycling facility is complete without at least one baler, and most have more than one. There are several variations of balers, but the traditional baler is about 60cm wide and used to compact materials like cardboard, PET plastic, and paper goods. Additionally, some balers are common for condensing material like aluminum cans(UBC), while others can condense large materials like radiators.

Before you can consider the essential machinery for recycling facilities, you must identify what waste your facility mostly handles. If you work with various materials, you might need one of everything and then some. If you handle the only meta, you might need just a few along with some metal shears and magnets. In general, the main pieces of equipment mentioned above are the bare minimum every recycling facility needs in their arsenal. At any time, please consult with Wiscon for a systematic recycling solution.

The Composition of Plastic Waste – Latest Analysis Year 2020

Image
  What source of the industry creates most of the plastic waste? There is a huge increase in plastic consumption in our daily lives. Plastic waste can be divided into commercial and industrial wastes. Many of these plastic products are single-used. That is, they are thrown away after one-time usage. For example, disposable plastic packaging, food container, cup, tablecloth and hand gloves are the regular items. The Composition of Plastic Waste: Pre-use and Post-use Plastic Other types of plastic waste include pre-use and post-use plastic. Pre-use plastic is mainly rejected products that do not meet the criteria in terms of size, colour, hardness and other properties. This also includes the byproducts like flesh and sprue during the process of plastic product manufacturing (e.g. molding, blow molding, thermal forming). Post-use plastics include plastic bottles, pails, casing; rigid plastics such as pipes and moldings, plastic foams or expanded polystyrene; and flexible plastics such as

What is ocean plastic pollution?

  Where does the plastic pollution in the ocean come from? What is ocean plastic pollution? Marine pollution is a combination of solid waste and chemicals that originate from the land. With the help of rainwater and wind, the pollutant is driven into the ocean. 3% of the worldwide plastic waste goes to the ocean according to the study. As more than 80% of the global plastic waste is not recycled, it is not surprising that abundant waste is accumulating in the ocean. In 2010, this was about 8 million tonnes. Before we dive into the question of where does ocean plastic waste comes from, we need to know about mismanaged plastics in the globe. The definition of mismanaged plastics is plastic waste that does not properly collect and recycle, instead, it ends up in landfills and scrap yard and directly pours into the river, lake and ocean. The graph shows more than half of the mismanaged stems from East Asia and the Pacific. The rest of the regions account for 40%. North America scores the l

3 Differences between One and Two Shaft Shredder

Image
  When choosing an industrial shredder, the first question lots of the customers ask is what is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder. One may not see the difference except their outlook, but they are very different in 3 points. In this article, we explain the differences between One shaft shredder and Two Shaft Shredder. Machine Structure Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft welded with rotary blades. The rotor a hydraulic-actuated pusher arm. and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. Its rotor consists of multiple disks of blades. The 2 rotors counter-rorate. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. Single Shaft Shredder Rotor Application Single Shaft Shredder  is suitable to process thick and solid materials such as molding purgings, runners, sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bon
