This reactor is designed for fast and efficient polymer recycling
Specially developed for polymer recycling, the JUMP polyreactor (photo) is a compact, quick and efficient alternative to conventional solid-state systems. The reactor enables direct reintroduction of melt-phase polymers into production processes without the need to remelt the polymer. The reactor is installed directly behind this company’s processing units, where the polymer passes over several rotating, stirring and conveying elements, to create a polymer film whose surface is constantly renewed. The reactor vessel is kept under vacuum, through which volatile substances are reliably removed. By regulating the residence time in the reactor, as well as the vacuum, the fill level and the speed of agitation, the polycondensation reaction can be altered to achieve the required product properties, such as viscosity.
