Agglomerators are equipment used in plastic recycling to convert thermoplastic waste materials into usable agglomerates or pellets. This process involves heating and melting the plastic waste and then forcing it through a die, where it is cut into small pellets. These pellets are then used as raw materials for the production of new plastic products.
Agglomerators can be used to recycle various types of plastic waste such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, PVC, and PET. They are commonly used in industries such as packaging, automotive, construction, and consumer goods.
Agglomerators can be operated as standalone units or as part of a larger plastic recycling plant. They are available in different sizes and designs depending on the amount of plastic waste to be processed and the desired output. Some agglomerators have cooling systems to prevent the pellets from sticking together or deforming during the process.
Overall, agglomerators play a critical role in plastic recycling by helping to convert waste materials into usable raw materials for the production of new plastic products.
