Abstract
Systems for recycling waste plastic can include cartridges that are selectively sealable. Some cartridges can have elongated receptacles that improve heat transfer to plastic feedstock within the cartridges.
Claims8
A cartridge for use in recycling plastic, the cartridge comprising:
- a selectively sealable opening through which plastic feedstock can be introduced into an interior of the cartridge;
- a body that defines an upper cavity into which a plastic feedstock can be received;
- an evacuation port in fluid communication with the upper cavity, wherein the evacuation port is configured to permit removal of gas from the cartridge when the opening is sealed;
- and
- a plurality of elongated receptacles that extend away from the body, wherein each of the receptacles defines a lower cavity that is in fluid communication with the upper cavity of the body such that heated gas can freely move from the lower cavities into the upper cavity.
