The industry is looking for high-quality recycled materials with consistent properties that can be used in increasingly demanding applications.<\/p>\n<p>Producing premium recycled material requires control over the entire process, from the raw material to pelletising. With this integrated approach, Ruy de Lacerda provides complete solutions for plastics recycling projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quality starts with the raw material<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The type of polymer, the material\u2019s origin, moisture content and level of contamination directly influence the final result.<\/p>\n<p>Before selecting the equipment, it is essential to assess:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The type and origin of the material;<\/li>\n<li>The level of contamination;<\/li>\n<li>The input particle size;<\/li>\n<li>The required production capacity;<\/li>\n<li>The intended quality and application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This analysis makes it possible to design a line tailored to each company\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Complete solutions for every stage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every project has its own specific requirements. That is why Ruy de Lacerda supports the entire process, selecting the technologies best suited to the material and the customer\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation, size reduction and feeding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cutting, shredding, grinding and feeding systems prepare and standardise the material, facilitating the subsequent stages and ensuring more stable production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Separation and sorting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Removing metals, incompatible materials and other contaminants increases the purity of the material flow and reduces the risk of compromising batch quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Washing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Washing removes dust, oils, labels, adhesives and other impurities.

It also helps reduce defects and improve consistency between batches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Extrusion, degassing and homogenisation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During extrusion, the material is transformed into a new raw material.
