Tomoe Engineering Commercializes the Waste Plastics Recycling System to Fuel Blast Furnaces
Tomoe Engineering has started sale of the waste plastics recycling system that provides blast furnaces with fuel. The system grinds, classifies and granulates waste material containing waste plastics to produce the fuel. There is a move going on among iron and steel makers to utilize waste plastics to blow their blast furnaces but, it is a mainstream approach thus far, they have had to procure and put together individual equipment required to reuse the material.
Tomoe Engineering has been supplying those iron and steel mills with individual classifying machines, but judging that the systematization of the whole process would bring benefits of cost savings and higher maintenance efficiency, Tomoe Engineering established a workable system.
The recycling system Tomoe Engineering places on the market is called Waste Plastics Wet Classifying System. It grinds general/industrial wastes consisting of chlorinated plastics and agricultural-use PVC sheets, and classifies non-chlorinated plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene from them, which are then dewatered and granulated to make fuel.
Further, with full enforcement in April of the package recycling law that would enhance classifications of wastes for their collection, Tomoe Engineering will expand its sale of this recycling system to industrial waste disposing companies too.
