Bioplastic Extrusion

Biodegradable plastics are an irresistible trend.

Zhuoyue is specialist for bioplastics complete extrusion lines. We can supply the entire plant for biodegradable plastic extrusion and compounding. 

Application and Development：

The main target markets for biodegradable plastic are plastic packaging film, agricultural film, disposable plastic bags and disposable plastic tableware.

Compared with traditional plastic packaging materials, the cost of new degradation materials is slightly higher. However, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, people are willing to use new biodegradable materials to protect the environment. The enhancement of environmental protection consciousness brings huge development opportunities to the new biodegradable materials industry

Technical Specifications of Extruder

According to your application & output, there’re many different choice on extruders.

Technical Specifications of Extruder :

The Zhuoyue ZTE MODEL offers an excellent price/performance ratio and is designed with parameters to suit most materials.

Biodegradable Plastic: PPC, PABT, PLA, PBS, PCL, TPS, PVA, PVOH

(a) Melt PBAT compounding with PLA or PPC

· The melt PBAT material with temperature 240℃ is fed into twin screw extruder by a melt pump, and add the PLA or PPC pellets and chain extender additive into extruder by the loss-in-weight feeder. This is direct compounding which can save 40% energy and better dispersion, comparing with PBAT pellet compounding with PLA or PPC

· Needs long L/D for reacting

· Needs under water pelletizing system for high output capacity and automatically process

· Needs vacuum packing system

(b) PLA/PBS compounding with starch powder

· Premix and long L/D for better dispersion

· Special feeder for anti-bridge

· Air cooling die face cutting for PLA base, and air cooling strand pelletizing for PBS base

· Need vacuum packing system

(c) PVA compounding with starch

· Two stage mixer for premixing and reacting

· Special feeder for anti-bridge

· Air cooling die face cutting system, need water cooling jacket for die plate

· Need vacuum packing system
