Recycled plastic manhole covers production line

Usage of waste plastic with fly ash as materials for producing manhole covers and rain drain grills

Project introduction Compared with traditional cast iron manhole cover

Traditional manhole covers are iron casted while composite material covers have thick steel reinforced bar skeleton with addition of sand, cement, fast hardening agent, and glass fiber as the main raw material for it’s easy gluing physical effect. Though except high cost and heavy weight it is not looking well.

The program of the manhole ,the main raw material is from people abandoned life plastic, through enhanced, pressure, anti - aging unique patented process and high temperature molding. And the cost is low, only for the traditional cast iron manhole covers and ordinary with the material manhole cover’s 90% , cheap price, smooth surface, no rust, beautiful appearance, convenient maintenance. Can also be customized according to user's requirements on the product logo and text.

The project of the manhole by chemical enhancer, make the composite resin molecular activation, cross - linked, so as to achieve the purpose of enhancing the bearing. Not only good steel, but also good toughness. Under the -40-80 temperature, the pressure, bending, impact resistance index reached or exceeded 30 years. Ordinary manhole cover made of composite materials in order to guarantee has sufficient capacity to support, inside a lot of thread steel is used as a support skeleton, the steel, lack of toughness, surface filling material are easily broken off, not only affects the appearance and short service life. The traditional cast iron manhole cover normal service life of only 6-10 years, and easily damaged manhole scattered to lead to serious security risks.

Load more than 18 tons of ordinary heavy manhole cover Applicable scope

Replace the corresponding steel, timber, cement, resin material, production each kind of inspection well cover, water grate and tree grate, a variety of sheet, cable trench, all kinds of pipe.

Main technical content:

• To renewable thermoplastic waste plastic, waste tire rubber powder, undisturbed fly ash, fiber as the main raw material, in a certain temperature and pressure conditions, the dispersion agent, coupling agent, the physical and chemical role in the formation of regenerated resin composite molding, drawing.

Firstly, Basic principle:

• According to the cross linking technology, under certain temperature and pressure conditions, Coupling agent on the strong polarity genes and some functional groups of fly ash on chemical reaction bonding. Weak coupling agent of organic functional groups and macromolecule organic phase winding connected with organic resin dispersed phase filler and continuous phase become one; Dispersant ensures equal distribution of fly ash particles and fibers; High proportion of fly ash and anti-aging agent enhanced shielding effect, make the products can be used in outdoor natural temperature more than 40 years. The interface electron microscope scanning and electron microscopic photographs show that fly ash particles dispersed evenly, coupling agent distribution on the resin and glass beads, amorphous phase and glass beads with resin to form crosslinked three-dimensional structure.

Secondly, the key technology:

• Firstly is according to the principle of modified resin, has realized the original state of fly ash and fiber high proportion of waste polymer filling, when after reaching reasonable group of proportion of fly ash and waste plastic, obtained the good performance materials, can be applied to the engineering performance requirements strict checking manhole cover and water. The material density between 1.5-2, that is the basic properties of the engineering plastics. Also has the planing, sawing wood properties and cars, milling metal performance. The material is waterproof, moistureproof, heat preservation, flame retardant, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, compressive strength, tensile, color is adjustable. Accessible raw materials, the cost is low, the production process, no secondary pollution, energy conservation and recycling. Can be molded to the needs of project, control all kinds of plate, pipe. Secondly is to transform existing engineering plastics machinery and equipment, formed the regeneration of resin composite materials products production line. To meet the requirements of high filling conditions of fly ash production process, change the traditional plastic extrusion granulation to friction heat are generated; Changed the traditional kneading machine blade, layer number, Angle and geometry; Tuned out the captain to diameter ratio compression ratio. At the same time, using centrifugal air separation principle, replace the waste plastic water to remove noise process, realize the production process, no secondary pollution, the design and manufacture of automatic stripping large mould.

Typical scale:

• An annual output of 3000 tons, manhole covers, water grate output value USD 18 million, profit tax of USD 10 million. Comprehensive utilization of waste materials and fly ash, all the more than 1500 tons, increase employment 50 people.

Main technical indicators and conditions:
