Chemical recycling using a twin-screw extruder "TEX"【Recycling】
Efficiently producing high-quality recycled plastic. Initiatives towards CSR and SDGs.
This is an introduction to our continuous chemical recycling technology for plastics, utilizing our twin-screw extruder 'TEX' and associated equipment. The raw materials are continuously decomposed through shear heating by the extruder's screw and heat transfer from the cylinder heater. By condensing and recovering the decomposition gas into liquid monomers downstream of the extruder, we can efficiently remove decomposition gases and residues, resulting in high-quality monomers with harmful substances removed. 【Features】 ■ Efficient continuous production of high-quality recycled plastics ■ Capable of recycling various materials other than acrylic ■ Stable supply of raw materials in various shapes, such as film scraps and crushed pieces, to the extruder ■ Specification considerations using test equipment are also possible *For more details, please refer to the PDF document. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

We will provide the technology of the twin-screw extruder 'TEX' to the chemical recycling demonstration facility.
We are pleased to announce that our company will provide continuous decomposition technology used for chemical recycling to Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. This technology continuously recovers MMA (methyl methacrylate) monomer from used acrylic resin (PMMA) using a twin-screw kneading extruder from the 'TEX Series'. The 'TEX Series' twin-screw kneading extruder is expected to be applied not only for thermal recycling and material recycling purposes but also for chemical recycling applications. To meet societal needs for recycling technology, we plan to establish a chemical recycling center within our Hiroshima manufacturing facility in 2022. Our group will continue to work on developing products that reduce environmental impact and aims to be a company that contributes to the realization and development of a sustainable society.
