Regain value from your used Arcel through advanced recycling
Arcel is an advanced foam resin that consists of both polystyrene and polyethylene. Thus, the co-polymer provides the most beneficial features of both polymers as it is a light-weight foam with an exceptional toughness, durability and flexibility.
However, the use of Arcel as packaging causes the same waste handling challenges to manufacturers as other polymer materials. This is caused by the fact that the used Arcel takes up a lot of space and at the same time manufacturers are met with strict restrictions as to how to handle used Arcel. Hence, Arcel waste handling is often considered a space-consuming and expensive task.
On this page you can learn more about:
- How to create substantial savings through recycling used Arcel
- How you can benefit from blending used Arcel back into the production
Also, you will learn more about how using KBM machinery for recycling of used Arcel will solve all of your handling issues in a profitable way that even the environment profits by.
Recycle your used Arcel to create substantial savings
KBM provides recycling machinery in all sizes meeting the needs of any shape moulding manufacturer. For large scale shape moulders we recommend the KBM Maxi recycling plant while the KBM Mini recycling plant is suitable for small or medium scale shape moulders. Any of the recycling plants are capable of turning clean Arcel scrap into completely reusable Arcel beads.
The reusable Arcel beads have a quality which is similar to brand new Arcel beads. The recycled Arcel beads contain a minimum of dust and are homogenous with new pre-expanded beads. This solves issues like blocking of core vents due to dust as well as de-mixing problems later on allowing for you to create substantial savings by recycling your used Arcel.
Benefit from blending used Arcel back into the production
Once the used Arcel has been turned into high-quality beads, they are ready to blend back into the production of new Arcel materials through shape moulding. By doing this, you can actually regain as much as 90 percent of the original value of the copolymer after subtracting your handling and energy costs.
To obtain the most beneficiary results an accurate mixing and metering is necessary. By using the KBM Styromix as much as 10 to 20 percent of the recycled beads can be used for Arcel shape-moulding. Thereby, it will be possible to regain the highest possible value from the recycled Arcel.
