PA6 Nylon Film Application Case

Nylon film is a very tough film with good transparency, good gloss, high tensile strength, and good heat resistance, cold resistance, oil resistance, and organic solvent resistance. Excellent abrasion resistance, puncture resistance, and relatively soft, excellent oxygen barrier, but the poor barrier to water vapor, greater moisture absorption and moisture permeability, poor heat sealability, suitable for packaging hard items, such as greasy Sexual foods, meat products, fried foods, vacuum packaged foods, steamed foods, etc.

Nylon membranes are widely used. In the process of film preparation, a large number of scraps will be generated. Such scraps have a very high recycling value. Aceretech Machinery has developed ACS-H series compaction and granulation according to the characteristics of this material. The machine, advanced cutting, compaction, and drying combined with a gentle plasticization process design can effectively maintain the performance of the material and improve the quality of the recycled particles.

Equipment details
PA film pretreatment equipment
Due to the high mechanical strength of the PA film, it is necessary to pre-shrink its size with a shredder before granulation. The size is generally 60-80mm.
The shredded film is transported to the compactor through a belt

After the shredded film enters the compactor, the motor drives the movable knife at the bottom of the compacting chamber to rotate. The rotating movable knife and the fixed knife installed on the wall of the compaction chamber form a cutting force and generate frictional heat. The frictional heat causes the film to shrink. The deflector on the wall of the compaction chamber compacts the material downward, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the cutter head sends the shrink film into the extruder screw;
The top of the compaction silo is equipped with an exhaust hole, which is connected with the dust removal exhaust device
The film in the compaction chamber is being cut and compacted
The generated moisture and dust will be collected and stored by this device

A Sliding gate with aservo motor is installed between the compaction bin and the extruder barrel to control the feed volume of the film.
In order to facilitate the operation and protect the compaction motor, we will be equipped with a frequency converter to control the speed of the compaction

Aceretech specially designed single screw extruder
The screw length to diameter ratio L/D is generally 36~32
The long screw provides more space for process design, enabling it to have functions such as melting, mixing, exhaust, and internal pressure.
The screw material adopts bimetal processing technology to ensure the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and service life of the screw
After the film is processed in the screw process section, it will be transported to the filtration system

The high-torque gearbox adopts German integration technology and liquid nitrogen assembly technology, so that the equipment has the characteristics of high and low noise and long service life.
The heating system of the host uses ceramic heating coils for heating, and the electric control adopts imported solid state relays for control, and the use of fans for cooling

The vacuum system adopts a double vacuum design, which can effectively separate small molecule volatiles and water in the melt. The specially designed vacuum tank will collect and filter the extracted small molecule volatiles and water to ensure the cleanliness of the recycling workshop and the emission of VOCs.

According to the output and the cleanliness of the material, the filter system is equipped with a plate filter or a plunger type large-area filter
The plate filter is widely used in plastic recycling applications because of its short flow path and convenient filter replacement.

Automatic stretch and pelletizing system, with high automation, labor saving, small footprint, avoiding material waste, etc.

The final materials will be sent to the finished product silo through the air conveying system for collection.

Electrical control system
The control system adopts Siemens PLC control and is equipped with industrial-grade touch operation screen;
Smart start: One-key power-on\One-key power-off\One-key emergency stop;
All electronic components use LS, Schneider, Omron or ABB brands.
