English
An aluminum plastic recycling machine is specialized equipment that processes waste aluminum-plastic composites. Instead of incineration or chemical methods, it uses crushing, grinding, and physical separation technologies to efficiently separate aluminum powder and plastic powder.
The separated materials can then be reused—aluminum in metallurgy and industrial applications, and plastic in manufacturing or as an additive.
Working Principle and Process
A typical recycling line follows these stages:
Feeding
Waste aluminum-plastic materials (such as medicine blister packs or laminate sheets) are fed into the machine via a conveyor.
Shredding & Crushing
Materials are shredded into small flakes to expose aluminum and plastic layers.
Grinding & Pulverization
High-speed grinders further process the material into fine particles, ensuring aluminum and plastic are fully detached.
Airflow Separation
An air classifier separates lighter plastic particles from heavier aluminum powder based on density differences.
Electrostatic Separation
An electrostatic separator enhances purity by taking advantage of conductivity differences between aluminum and plastic.
Dust Collection
An integrated dust collection system prevents particle emissions and ensures clean, environmentally safe operation.
Materials Recovered
Aluminum Powder/Granules
Reused in aluminum smelting, alloy production, or powder metallurgy.
Plastic Powder
Can be used as an additive in construction materials, modified plastic production, or fuel.
Advantages of Aluminum Plastic Recycling Machines
High Separation Efficiency
Achieves aluminum recovery rates of 98% or higher.
Eco-Friendly
Operates without burning or chemical treatments, avoiding toxic emissions.
Economic Benefits
Extracted aluminum and plastic both have market value, making recycling profitable.
Versatility
Capable of processing various aluminum-plastic composites, including pharmaceutical packaging, aluminum foil laminates, and decorative panels.
Automation & Safety
Equipped with advanced control systems, easy to operate, and designed for stable performance with minimal labor input.
Importance of Recycling Aluminum-Plastic Composites
Environmental Protection
Prevents large amounts of non-degradable composites from entering landfills.
Resource Conservation
Saves energy and reduces dependence on mining and virgin plastic production.
Support for Circular Economy
Turns waste into reusable materials, creating a closed-loop recycling system.
Applications
Aluminum plastic recycling machines are widely used in:
Pharmaceutical Packaging Recycling (e.g., blister packs)
E-waste Processing Plants
Composite Packaging Recycling Facilities
Construction and Decorative Material Recycling
