Leda plastic recycling Plastic recycling washing line 
 
Agglomerator is a cylinder with two rotating blades at the bottom, just like a coffee grinder.
 
And, like a coffee grinder, it develops heat by friction.
 
When it goes to plastic recycling, the matter is not that easy because of the fact plastic is melting, big motors are involved together with vibrations and all these good stuff.
 
This machine belongs to the category of "it is so easy I can make it myself" till everybody found out it is not that easy and left it in a corner.
 
Actually this is the main reason of why densifiers are not popular.

Everybody knows this machine and, at the same time everybody hates it.
This machine is around since decades and, during this time, a lot of different devices were found to substitute this damn dusty, noisy, hot, vibrating, high energy consumption,  you name it, machine.
On the other way, listen to this:
Doesn't matter if your material is dry, wet or dripping water, densifier will deliver a dry, high bulk density material in chips.
If your material is out of different MFI materials, densifier (agglomerator) will mix them together ready for the extrusion of steady characteristics pellets.
Also, size of scraps doesn't bother this machine so you may save a lot on grinding or shredding.
In case of fibres recycling, PET, PP, PE  (not Nylon), you can get very high production rates with a pretty low kW per Kg energy consumption.
So, whatever material you have, it will be dry, homogeneous, with a bulk density of more than 500 Kg/cubic meter.
In this conditions, if you blow it to a mixing silo you'll deliver to the extruder a steady characteristic, steady MFI, viscosity etc., and throughput of extruder will be something you can count on 24/7.
Still thinking this machine is too old and useless ?  We don't think so
 
If you go to the second hand machinery section (at the bottom of the home page) you will find something.
