🟠 What is granules?
▪️You must have heard the word granule (for example, granule glue), but it is mostly used in the industry. With the advancement of technology, different methods and devices are used to produce plastic. In the production of plastic, the first question that arose was what the shape of the raw material for plastic production should be, and in the end, the granule shape was chosen because of its various advantages. Since the powder is airborne and may cause respiratory problems and pollution, granules were chosen as the form of the raw material. To make plastic, the granule must first be melted and then shaped.
🟣 Granular production methods
▪️Contrary to what many people think, granule is not a type of polymer, but a form of polymer that has been transformed from a powder state into a granular form. They do.
Production of granules by filament
▪️ Simple devices and machines are used to produce string granules. In this method, all types of plastic are made into thin strands after passing through different stages. After passing through the water pool, the molten plastic strands are directed to a special mill and dried after being cut into pieces. The granule produced in string lines is in the form of small plastic.
🟡 Production of granules by dry method
▪️ The machines used to produce dry granules are more complex and have high accuracy. In this method, crushed plastics of recycled materials are cut by special blades after melting and passing through a special sieve. The crushed material enters a special tube path with a suction device and is cooled and dried in a short time. Dry granules are similar to granules produced by petrochemical industries
