Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a recycling plant for recycling plastic waste material, in particular polyolefin waste material.
  • DE 10 2019 127 827 A1 discloses a method for producing plastic products from a recycled plastic material and an unrecycled virgin plastic material.
  • the production takes place by means of an extrusion plant.
  • the basic material of the plastic products is a polymer raw material, such as polyolefins.
  • a granulate of the recycled plastic material and a granulate of the unrecycled virgin plastic material are fed in certain proportions to the extrusion line.
  • the extrusion system uses the granules fed in to produce new compounds or foils as plastic products, for example.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a method which enables simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling of plastic waste material, in particular polyolefin waste material.
  • This object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1.
  • the plastic waste material to be processed in particular the polyolefin waste material to be processed, is first fed to the first screw machine, in particular the first multi-shaft screw machine, and melted by means of the first screw machine to form a plastic waste material melt.
  • the waste plastic material is made from plastic products that have been shredded and/or cleaned.
  • the plastic waste material is present in particular as bulk material, for example as snippets (flakes) and/or pellets.
  • the plastic waste material has not already been processed by means of a screw machine before being fed to the first screw machine.
  • the plastic waste material is not plastic waste material granules produced by processed and granulated plastic waste material.
  • a dwell time of the plastic waste material melt in the first screw machine can preferably be adjusted by means of a throttle device.
  • the throttle device is arranged in particular after the first screw machine.
  • the throttle device comprises at least one throttle element for setting a flow resistance of the melted plastic waste material.
  • the position of the at least one throttle element can be adjusted or changed.
  • a higher flow resistance leads to a longer residence time and vice versa.
  • the second multi-shaft screw machine is supplied with plastic raw material, which is processed by the second multi-shaft screw machine to form a plastic raw material melt.
  • the plastic raw material can be fed to the second multi-shaft screw machine as bulk material, for example as powder and/or granules, or as a melt. If the plastic raw material is supplied as bulk material, the processing includes melting the plastic raw material. If, on the other hand, the plastic raw material is already supplied as a melt, the processing includes conveying and the associated mixing of the plastic raw material melt. At least one additive can also be fed to the second multi-screw extruder.
  • the melted plastic waste material is also fed to the second multi-shaft screw machine.
  • the second multi-shaft screw extruder is supplied with the plastic waste material in a conveying direction downstream of the plastic raw material supply.
  • the plastic waste material melt is fed into the plastic raw material melt.
  • the plastic raw material melt and the plastic waste material melt are mixed or homogenized by means of the second multi-shaft screw machine to form a plastic material melt.
  • the plastic material melt is then discharged from the second multi-shaft screw machine.
  • the discharged plastic material melt is either further processed directly into a plastic product or fed to a granulating device which produces plastic granulate or polyolefin granulate from the plastic material melt.
  • the process is simple and energy efficient. Because the proportions of the plastic waste material and the plastic raw material can be flexibly adjusted depending on the initial quality of the plastic waste material, the quality of the plastic material melt can be reliably guaranteed.
  • a method according to claim 2 ensures simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling. Due to the fact that the plastic waste material melt is filtered by means of a filter device before it is fed into the second multi-shaft screw machine, dirt and/or agglomerates are not mixed with the plastic raw material melt. This increases the quality of the plastic material melt.
  • the filter device preferably comprises at least two filter elements. Alternatively, the filter device comprises at least one filter element with a continuous cleaning function and/or with a backwash function. As a result, at least one filter element can be cleaned and/or changed during operation.

  • the determined at least one parameter is transmitted in particular to a control device.
  • a pressure, a temperature and/or a viscosity of the plastic waste material melt is determined by means of the at least one sensor.
  • a pressure, a temperature and/or a viscosity of the plastic waste material melt is preferably measured by means of at least one sensor immediately after the first screw machine and/or immediately before the filter device and/or after the filter device.

  • the measurement immediately before the filter device provides information about the pressure increase as a function of time and/or about the degree of contamination of the plastic waste material melt as a function of a filtration fineness of the filter device.
  • the filtration fineness of the at least one filter element is selected depending on the required quality of the plastic material melt.
  • the measurement after the filter device in particular the viscosity measurement or the online viscosity measurement, provides information about the flow properties of the filtered plastic waste material melt and the expected viscosity of the plastic material melt.
  • the viscosity can be adjusted in particular by adjusting the residence time of the plastic waste material melt in the first screw machine and/or by adding plastic raw material to the first screw machine.
  • a method according to claim 4 ensures simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling.
  • the quality measure On the basis of the quality measure, the quality of the plastic waste material melt can be assessed and/or the plastic waste material melt can be divided into different Quality classes are classified. This makes it possible to control the reprocessing depending on the quality measure or the quality classes. In particular, it is possible to react immediately to an insufficient quality of the plastic waste material melt, for example by controlling a feed device and/or a throttle device.
  • the quality measure is the at least one parameter.
  • the measured values of the at least one parameter can be signal-processed by means of the control device.
  • the quality measure is, for example, the measured viscosity of the plastic waste material melt after a filter device.
  • a method according to claim 5 ensures simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling. Because at least one feed device and/or a throttle device is activated as a function of the determined at least one parameter or the determined quality measure, it is possible to react immediately to insufficient quality or an insufficient quality measure of the plastic waste material melt.
  • the at least one feed device prevents, for example, the feed of the plastic waste material melt into the second multi-shaft screw machine if the quality measure determined is outside a predefined range.
  • the at least one feed device feeds, for example, plastic raw material and/or at least one additive into the first screw extruder in order to increase the level of quality.
  • the throttle device increases the flow resistance of the plastic waste material melt, for example, so that the dwell time of the plastic waste material melt in the first screw machine is increased, which leads to longer and more intensive mixing or homogenization and thus to an increase in quality.
  • a method according to claim 6 ensures simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling.
  • the plastic waste material melt is fed to the second multi-shaft screw machine by means of a feeding device.
  • the feed device for feeding in the plastic waste material melt comprises in particular at least one switch element which can be switched between a first switch position and a second switch position. The switching is controlled in particular by means of a control device.
  • the feed device preferably includes a drive for actuating the switching element.
  • the plastic waste material melt is fed to the second multi-shaft screw machine.
  • the first switching position is set when the quality measure determined is within a predefined range.
  • the plastic waste material melt is not fed to the second multi-shaft screw machine.
  • the second switching position is set when the quality measure determined is outside the predefined range.
  • the plastic waste material melt can be fed to a granulating device, for example, which granulates the plastic waste material melt into granules.
  • the granules are of comparatively low quality, but can still be processed further.
  • the plastic waste material melt is only fed to the second multi-shaft screw machine if the quality is sufficient.
  • a method according to claim 7 ensures simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling.
  • the first screw machine can be fed with plastic raw material and/or at least one additive by means of a feed device. By supplying plastic raw material and/or at least one additive, the quality of the plastic waste material melt is increased, so that the determined quality measure is improved. If the quality measure returns to the predefined range, the plastic waste material melt can be fed back to the second multi-shaft screw machine in particular by switching a switching element.
  • a method according to claim 8 ensures simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling. Due to the fact that the plastic waste material melt has a high quality and/or the quality of the plastic waste material melt is monitored, a high proportion mw of plastic waste material can be reprocessed.
  • the proportion mw defines in particular an average weight proportion based on the plastic material melt discharged from the second multi-shaft screw machine.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a recycling plant which enables simple, flexible, qualitatively reliable and energy-efficient recycling of plastic waste material, in particular polyolefin waste material.
  • the advantages of the recycling plant according to the invention correspond to the advantages already described the method according to the invention for recycling plastic waste material, in particular polyolefin waste material.
