Degradable granulator is a kind of equipment specially used for processing and granulating degradable materials, which is widely used in the biodegradable material production industry. In the granulation process of degradable materials, the performance and quality of the granulator are very important, which is also directly related to the granulation effect and product quality. So, does the degradable granulator meet the industry standard?
First of all, it should be made clear that there is no special standard for the specification and certification of degradable granulators. The market for degradable materials is relatively new, and relevant industry standards are still being gradually established. However, generally speaking, the degradable granulator not only needs to meet the basic performance requirements of the universal granulator, but also needs to adapt and optimize for the characteristics of the degradable material.
Various countries and regions have different standards and regulations for the use and handling of degradable materials, which also indirectly affects the design and manufacture of degradable granulators. For example, in 2019, the European Union issued a regulation on the single-use of plastic products and restrictions on plastic waste, which has certain requirements for degradable materials, and the pelletizer that makes such materials also needs to comply with the relevant regulations.
From the specific technical requirements, the degradable granulator needs to have the following functions and performance:
Adapt to different types of degradable materials. There are many types of degradable materials, such as starch, polylactic acid, polyester and so on. A good degradable granulator should be able to adapt to the processing of different materials, with certain adaptability and flexibility.
Excellent granulation effect. The degradable granulator should be able to heat and melt the material sufficiently and evenly, and shape and granulate the molten material through the mold. The effect of granulation should be uniform, without obvious cracks and deformation.
Stable production capacity. The degradable granulator should have a stable production capacity and be able to run continuously for a long time without failure and performance degradation.
Low energy consumption and high efficiency. The degradable granulator should have low energy consumption, and be able to achieve efficient heating and granulation process through reasonable energy utilization and heat exchange.
