Claims15
Method for producing plastic containers and/or plastic preforms using an injection molding machine, comprising:
- providing plastic recyclate and new plastic material;
- heating the plastic recyclate;
- and
- heating the new plastic material using at least a part of the heat contained in the heated plastic recyclate,
- wherein the heating of the new plastic material comprises:
- moving a heat transport fluid past the heated plastic recyclate for heating the heat transport fluid;
- and
- moving the heated heat transport fluid past the new plastic material.
Method for producing plastic containers and/or plastic preforms using an injection molding machine, comprising:
- providing plastic recyclate and new plastic material;
- heating the plastic recyclate;
- and
- heating the new plastic material using at least a part of the heat contained in the heated plastic recyclate,
- wherein the heating of the new plastic material comprises an arranging of the heated plastic recyclate and the new plastic material in two containers, which are at least partially connected by a heat permeable wall.
Device for producing plastic containers and/or plastic preforms, comprising:
- an injection molding machine for injection molding one of the plastic containers, the plastic preforms, and a combination thereof;
- a heating device for heating the plastic recyclate;
- and
- a heating device for heating the new plastic material;
- wherein the device is designed and/or configured such that at least a part of the heat contained in the heated plastic recyclate is used for heating the new plastic material,
- the device further comprising a device for the transport of a heat transport fluid, which is designed such that the heat transport fluid is moved past the heated plastic recyclate for heating the heat transport fluid and that the heated heat transport fluid is moved past the new plastic material.
Device for producing plastic containers and/or plastic preforms, comprising:
- an injection molding machine for injection molding one of the plastic containers, the plastic preforms, and a combination thereof;
- a heating device for heating the plastic recyclate;
- and
- a heating device for heating the new plastic material;
- wherein the device is designed and/or configured such that at least a part of the heat contained in the heated plastic recyclate is used for heating the new plastic material,
- the device further comprising a container for the heated plastic recyclate and a container for the new plastic material, wherein the respective containers are connected at least partially by a heat permeable wall.
