The stranded rope (braid material) produced by paper mills during the production process usually comes in two sizes: fine sizes with a diameter of <150mm and coarse sizes with diameters ranging from 300-600mm. Its components are plastic, metal and residual pulp. Plastics and metals are often entangled together and thus have to be crushed and separated before recycling. The metal can be used for smelting, the plastic is used for re-pelletizing and the pulp is used as raw material for recycled paper.
The grabber sends the stacked stranded ropes to the chain plate conveyor, through which the materials are transported and fall evenly onto the twin-shaft shredder to break and disperse the entangled flexible materials. Subsequently, the crushed material passes through the iron remover to separate the metal from other substances. The material after iron removal can enter the fine crusher for fine crushing to meet the subsequent production and processing requirements.
