SOME ASPECTS REGARDING THE RECYCLING OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS USED IN AUTOMOTIVE

Sandu ILEA, Petru-Adrian POP

Abstract


The paper is presented a proper method for recycled composite materials used in the automotive industry. This process is complex and composed of many steps, where the recycled material is achieved from waste parts of PC+ABS plated with metal. The automated recycling installation has inserted a pickling chemical station for collecting the metal on wasted-injected composite parts. The main parts of recycling installation are plastics grinding mill, conveyor belt, filling conveyor, robot for transporting raw materials, pre-washing basin, acid pickling basins, washing basin, gas exhaust system and raw material dryer. The simulation is performed by MOLDEX 3D software to determine the basic parameter process of plastic injection moulding. The results of the experiments confirmed the method used for recycling the composite parts.
