Plastic pipe tube is used mainly to convey substances that can flow liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids. Plastic pipes are widely used in building water supply and drainage, city gas supply, heat supply, electricity and cable sheath, industrial fluid transportation, agricultural irrigation, etc.These plastic pipe/tubes are made of various types of plastic material most commonly are PE, PP, PVC, ABS, HDPE, LDPE. Plastic pipe can simply be reground, pulverized and returned to the extrusion process to make new pipe.
Waste plastic pipes and tubes usually are in long size, so in the recycling process for such products, size reduction is the first step which usually is done by a shredder. Plastic tubes are turned into small scraps after shredding, and those scraps are then put into re-production according to various manufacturing requirements. Usually, the high quality and clean waste plastic is directly made into new plastic raw material; While for the unclean material which cannot be directly made into raw plastic material, it will be processed by sorting, shredding, crushing, mixing with new resin raw material or adding additives, and melting, and then re-made into new plastic raw material. All these recycled raw plastic material can be made into a variety of plastic products, such as agricultural film, fertilizer packages, cement packages, plastic drum, bathroom accessories, kitchen accessories, so on and so forth.
