With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical packaging, food container, and building materials industries, the usage of aluminum-plastic composite materials has surged. According to statistics, China generates over 2 million tons of aluminum-plastic packaging waste annually, but traditional landfill or incineration methods lead to two major pain points: resource waste: each ton of aluminum-plastic waste contains 15% -25% high-purity aluminum, which is equivalent to 10 times the grade of high-quality bauxite. Environmental threats: natural degradation of composite materials takes more than 200 years, and incineration can produce toxic substances such as dioxins. So, it is necessary to convert waste aluminum-plastic materials into secondary resources through equipment technology.
The aluminum-plastic separator adopts dry physical separation technology. Firstly, the waste aluminum-plastic products are recycled, and a large amount of aluminum-plastic materials are prepared to enter the crusher for secondary crushing and three-stage grinding and dissociation. Then, the materials that meet the strength requirements are screened by a rotary vibrating screen. The plastic and aluminum are separated by a double roll shaft electrostatic separator, and the recycling of waste aluminum-plastic also realizes resource recovery and reuse. The waste aluminum-plastic is recycled again, which not only solves the environmental pollution problem caused by the accumulation of a large number of waste products. It also alleviates the pressure of imbalanced supply and demand of resources, achieving coordinated development of society, economy, and environment. In this way, not only does it alleviate the pollution of aluminum-plastic waste to the environment, but users also gain substantial profits from it.
Aluminum plastic separators are driving waste treatment from “end of pipe treatment” to “resource recycling”. In the future, by using IoT technology to build a “recycling processing application” full chain data platform, it is expected to achieve an additional 30% reduction in processing costs per ton, truly transforming aluminum-plastic waste into “urban concentrate”.
