Material Handling Solutions for Recycling and Size Reductions Systems

Shredded plastic materials, produced during the size-reduction part of the recycling process, often bridge, rathole, and clump together. Downtime from these non-free-flowing materials has a devastating effect on production levels. No matter whether your process is injection molding or extrusion, a continuous supply of material is required for optimal processing and production efficiency. Without the right conveying equipment these stubborn-to-move materials can cause the usage of recycled material to be cost-prohibitive. In this month’s Application Spotlight, we walk through a recent system we engineered that completely eliminated any flow inconsistencies. This system continuously delivers shredded plastic material directly from our client’s shredder and into their extruder without the need for additional laborers.
