Bausano E-GO R Polyolefin Recycling Extruders are advanced single screw extruders designed for recycling and re-pelletizing polyolefins. The E-GO R series represents the latest technology update from Bausano, enabling efficient recycling of rigid plastic scrap such as PE, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PP-R, and PP-HM.
Polyolefins are of three family types:
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): Very safe, does not transmit chemicals into foods or drinks, and is commonly recycled. Used for pipes, containers for milk, motor oil, shampoos, conditioners, soap bottles, detergents, and bleaches.
- Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE): Sometimes recycled, durable and flexible. Used for cling-film, sandwich bags, squeezable bottles, and plastic grocery bags.
- Polypropylene (PP): Recycled, strong, and can withstand higher temperatures. Used for lunch boxes, margarine containers, yogurt pots, syrup bottles, prescription bottles, and plastic bottle caps.
Technical Features:
- Consistent precision speed holding with advanced screw design for high product quality output.
- Specialized single screw extruder gently melts pre-compacted material, ensuring plastic scraps are well melted.
- Single or double-zone vacuum degassing system efficiently removes volatiles such as low molecular substances and moisture, especially suitable for heavily printed film and material with water content.
- Combines plasticization and pelletizing in one step, ideal for crushed regrinds or flakes.
Bausano Recycling Process:
- First step: cleaning and grinding.
- Materials are recovered through extrusion and re-granulating.
- During melting and re-processing, degradation of polymers can occur.
- Selection of polyolefin for a particular application depends on resin type and grade, manufacturing technology, catalyst, and raw feedstock.
- Additives are incorporated to achieve specific properties and overcome weaknesses of recovered materials.
- Bausano customizes every line; the number and concentration of additives vary depending on the desired end-product.
- Single-Screw Extruders can process a wide range of polyolefin polymers thanks to new technology.
Key Technologies:
- Screw Design Technology: Over 75 years of polymer processing and screw design experience, supported by Flow Simulation Software, ensures maximum quality and efficiency.
- Melt Filtration: For cleaning and filtration of recycled material, removing contaminants.
- Water Ring Pelletizing System: Special pelletizing system using a cylindrical chamber with a tangential jet of water.
