Hello all,
I'm doing my internship at a injection molding company.
Now a project of mine is to think about the recycling of runners. They gave me some information about it
maximum 30% runners mixed with the virgin material
fresh start each week (0% runners mixed with the virgin material)
material is PA
If 1st lot runners are used in the 2nd lot, and 2nd lot runner in 3 lot, and so on.. How many times can I reuse the runner (Not depending on product or application)?
Do you just grind it down or use additives (chemical recycling)?
If someone has any information about it, could guide me in this or can refer me to any articles about it , it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Martijn
