Treatment/Recycling Process
| Process | Content |
|---|---|
| ① Receiving | Waste plastic which has been delivered to the plant is weighed and charged to the volumetric feeder. (Receiving process has a temporary storage area.) |
| ② Sorting | Waste plastic material is sorted to the film line or solid/bolt line by the plastic type sorting machine. Foreign matter is then removed by hand sorting, magnetic sorting and wind sorting. |
| ③ Crushing and pulverizing | Material is crushed and pulverized to the specified size. |
| ④ Separation of vinyl chloride | Vinyl chloride is removed by a centrifugal type gravity sorting machine. |
| ⑤ Washing, dewatering and drying | Material is washed and dewatered, followed by drying. |
| ⑥ Granulation | Material is granulated to a cylindrical shape of the specified size by a ring die type granulating machine. |
| ⑦ Pelletizing | After melting by the extruder, foreign matter is removed by a filter, and pellet molding is performed. |
| ⑧ Board production | Pellets, which are the raw material of the core layer, and the raw material of the skin layers are each melted, and boards are molded by extrusion in 3 layers of 2 different materials. After cooling for a certain time, the boards are cut to the specified dimensions and bundled in lots. |
| ⑨ Shipping | Granulated recycled plastic products are shipped by a dedicated screw truck. Pellets are packed in flexible containers for shipping, and NF Board® is shipped in bundled lots. |
