Abstract
A system for recycling reusable resin mold products recovered from discarded apparatuses is disclosed. This recycling system includes a crushing system for crushing resin mold products one kind by one kind into crushed resinous pieces and packing the same in a bag, a classification system for irradiating a light beam to the resin in the bag and classifying the bags into respective kinds of resins based on a reflected beam therefrom, a cleaning system for separately cleaning the respective kind of crushed resinous pieces taken out of the bag to remove foreign matters adhered onto the surfaces of the crushed resinous pieces therefrom, and a recovery system for recovering the cleaned crushed resinous pieces.
Claims3
A method for cleaning thermoplastic resinous products, comprising:
- crushing collected thermoplastic resinous products into crushed pieces,
- supplying the crushed pieces together with water into a cleaning device having a vessel and a rotary body disposed in a rotatable manner within the vessel, wherein at least part of an inner surface of the vessel and/or a surface of the rotary body is roughened to provide a roughened surface having a depth in a range of from 200 to 2000 μm,
- rotating the rotary body, causing the crushed pieces to contact the roughened surface of the vessel and/or surface of the rotary body, and cleaning the crushed pieces.
