Plastic recycling

Separation and the subsequent recycling of secondary raw materials are considered activities generally favourable to the environment and an important means of sustainable development. Separation and subsequent recycling of secondary raw materials are considered generally activities favourable to the environment and one of
the major paths to sustainable development. Thanks to the higher rate of recycling, the amount of the produced waste that would otherwise be disposed to dumping sites declines, and at the same time, the consumption of primary raw materials and of the resources spent on their production is reduced, which contributes to the reduction of the carbon footprint, or CO2 emissions.

Fatra, a.s. – a company with a long history of plastic processing – has a portfolio of services for recycling plastic. We produce regranulate for injection moulding, blow moulding and extrusion on modern recycling line.

Based on customers’ requirements, we have the capacity to produce regranulate with the desired melt flow index and in various colours, including regranulate containing a filling compound.
We process internal and external waste during production.
We buy out plastic waste.

recycling line

The recycling line is designed to reprocess technologically produced rejects, discordant or claimed products, and bags from raw materials that have been purchased for this purpose. The processed material is crushed and transported by conveyor to a sinter unit, where it is crushed again and centrifuged directly to an extruder. In the heated extruder, a rotating screw transports the material to a hot melt filter. Concurrently, the material is homogenized and plasticized.
Plastic melt purified in the filter is transported by an adapter to a cascade extruder zone. In the extruder, the screw conveys the material further to a granulator through a heated cylinder. When doing so, any gases generated in printed, wet or organic material are eliminated by a degassing process. The plastic melt in the granulator is pressed through an injection plate. Melt strands are then cut off, captured in a water stream, cooled down and subsequently dried. The resultant granulate is conveyed to a reservoir, from which it is filled or conducted to mixing silos and then packed.
