Advancements in Plastic Crushing Technology: Design, Applications, and Role in the Circular Economy Abstract
1. Introduction The proliferation of single-use and durable plastic products has led to mounting waste accumulation in landfills and oceans. Mechanical recycling remains the most economically viable and scalable solution for managing thermoplastic waste. At the heart of this process lies the plastic crusher, which reduces bulky plastic items—such as bottles, pipes, films, and automotive parts—into uniform granules or flakes suitable for washing, separation, and re-extrusion. Recent advancements in crusher...

Plastic Crushers: Technological Analysis, Applications, and Role in the Circular Economy Abstract
1. Introduction The proliferation of plastic materials in modern society has created an urgent need for effective end-of-life management. Plastic crushers serve as the primary machinery for size reduction, transforming bulky plastic waste, production off-cuts, and post-consumer items into manageable granules or flakes. This process is the crucial first step in both mechanical recycling, where materials are reprocessed into new products, and in preparing materials for further processing like extrusion...

Plastic Crushers: Enabling Recycling and Efficiency in the Modern Plastics Industry Abstract
1. Introduction The ubiquity of plastic in modern life is undeniable, yet its persistence in the environment poses a significant ecological challenge. The transition towards a circular economy, where materials are kept in use for as long as possible, necessitates efficient waste management and recycling technologies. Plastic crushers stand at the forefront of this effort within the industrial sector. These machines are designed to reduce bulky plastic waste—ranging from production...

Industrial water-cooled chiller
1. Introduction The demand for precise and reliable cooling is paramount in modern industry and large commercial facilities. From ensuring the dimensional accuracy of plastic parts to preventing overheating in data centers and maintaining comfortable environments in skyscrapers, controlled cooling is not a luxury but a necessity. Among the various cooling solutions available, water-cooled chillers have established themselves as the preferred choice for medium to large-capacity applications where operational efficiency,...

Design, Operation, and Energy Efficiency of Water-Cooled Chillers in HVAC Systems Abstract
1. IntroductionWith the increasing demand for energy-efficient building systems, chillers play a vital role in providing cooling for large commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. Among various chiller types, water-cooled chillers are widely preferred in applications where high cooling capacity and energy efficiency are required. Unlike air-cooled chillers, which reject heat directly to the ambient air, water-cooled chillers use a secondary water loop and cooling towers to dissipate heat, resulting in...

Plastic Shredders: The Foundational Technology for Efficient Plastic Waste Recycling and Resource Recovery
1. Introduction Plastic, lauded for its durability and versatility, has become an environmental burden due to its persistence and the vast quantities discarded annually. Landfills are overflowing, and marine ecosystems are under severe threat. Mechanical recycling offers a viable solution, but its success hinges on effective pre-processing. Among the initial steps, size reduction via shredding is indispensable. Plastic shredders (also commonly referred to as plastic crushers or granulators) break down...
