Process for recycling plastic materials

A process for recycling plastics, the process comprising:

• (a) at a temperature T1, forming a reprocessed material by reprocessing raw material whereby the raw material is comminuted, heated, and mixed, while retaining a particulate and flowable form;
• (b) at a temperature T2, melting the reprocessed material to form a melt;
• (c) at a temperature T3, forming a filtered melt by filtering the melt to remove impurities;
• (d) at a temperature T4, homogenizing the filtered melt, wherein homogenizing the filtered melt comprises:
• receiving the filtered melt and generating a first homogenized melt with a Maddock shearing element and receiving the first homogenized melt and generating a second homogenized melt with a cylindrical rotatable body having an outer surface with a plurality of projections;
• (e) at a temperature T5, degassing the homogenized melt to form a degassed melt;
• and
• (f) at a temperature T6 discharging the degassed melt to form a discharged melt,
• wherein processing steps (a)-(f) are implemented consecutively and in chronological order without intermediate steps, and
• wherein the temperature T4 is greater than or equal to highest temperature of the temperatures T1, T2, T3, T5, and T6.
