Why is Machinery Reconditioning Important?

The plastics recovery and recycling sector relies on highly specialised machinery, such as shredders, extruders and granulating. The timely maintenance operations are essential to ensure operational efficiency, reduce extraordinary maintenance costs, and extend the life of the machines.

Advantages of a timely and efficient maintenance:

• Improved efficiency: well maintained machines consume less energy.

• Reduced downtime: preventive maintenance reduces the risk of sudden breakdowns.

• Lower operating costs:by replacing worn out parts in good time, you can increase the life of your investment.

• Compliance with regulations: technological updates and improvements reduce environmental impact and ensure compliance with current regulations.

The Stages of plastic machinery reconditioning

Inspection and Diagnosis :

• Checking the state of wear and tear of main parts.
• Performance analysis and detection of any anomalies.

Disassembly and Cleaning :

• Removal of plastic residues and impurities.
• Cleaning of all components.

Replacement and Repair :

• Replacement of all the worn parts.
• Regeneration of critical components to improve performance.

Possible Technological Upgrades :

• Installation of more efficient control systems.
• Adoption of digital solutions for real-time monitoring.

Testing and Certification:

• Verification of correct operation.
• Compliance with safety and environmental requirements.

Tips for Effective Reconditioning:

1. Plan regular maintenance to avoid urgent interventions and downtime.
2. Choose quality spare parts to ensure long-term reliability.
3. Rely on specialised professionals for a certified overhauling.
4. Integrate monitoring software to improve operational management.

Reconditioning plastic and waste recycling machinery is a strategic investment for companies in the sector. It guarantees productivity, sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations, contributing to a more efficient circular economy.
