Recycling and Utilization of Discarded Agricultural Film

Lee 2023-08-15

Agricultural film, also known as thin film plastic, including plastic film, is mainly used to cover farmland, improving soil temperature, maintaining soil moisture, promoting seed germination and rapid seedling growth, and inhibiting weed growth. The main component of agricultural film is non degradable polyethylene, so waste agricultural film can cause certain pollution to soil and water sources, and its recovery and reuse are very necessary.

The methods for recycling discarded agricultural film include:

1. Compression landfill: Waste agricultural film is compressed and sent to a landfill site, which is commonly used but not advocated.

2. Thermal energy utilization: During the incineration process of discarded agricultural film, a large amount of thermal energy is released for heating or power generation, which poses a certain environmental pollution risk.

3. Artistic creation: Create artwork or daily necessities through creative design.

4. Resource utilization: Agricultural film is processed into recycled plastic particles through drying, crushing, rinsing, drying, extrusion, and cutting. As it still maintains the chemical properties of plastic raw materials, it can meet the technical requirements of blowing film, wire drawing, pipe drawing, injection molding, extrusion profiles, etc., and is used to produce PE pipes, plastic containers, drip irrigation belts, etc; Agricultural film can also be directly crushed, mixed with a certain proportion of slag, and processed to produce recycled products such as drainage well rings, well covers, and urban greening tree grates; The agricultural film after drying and rinsing can also be processed through high-temperature catalytic cracking and other technologies to obtain usable fuels such as gasoline and diesel.

The length and width of agricultural film are usually larger, and it is wise to use a shredder to reduce its size first for better recycling. Double-shaft shredder is the first choice for shredding agricultural film, which uses the teeth of the moving knife to bite the agricultural film and tear it down. The blades of the roller cut the agricultural film like scissors, thereby achieving the effect of reducing size; When addressing the issue of easy entanglement of agricultural film, the fixed blade adopts unique anti entanglement technology to ensure stable operation and improved efficiency of the shredder. Some customers may request smaller sizes of agricultural film, and our fine crusher can perfectly solve this problem. Agricultural film is cut into small volumes by circular motion blades on the spindle and fixed toothed fixed blades, and the discharge size is controlled by the built-in screen.
