Polymers & Plastics
Discover Polat Makina’s explosion-proof Zone 2 centrifuge and decanter solutions, fully compliant with ATEX standards. Designed for polymerization and recycling processes involving flammable gas and vapor hazards, our equipment meets international standards to maximize plant safety and ensure operational continuity.
Production and Recycling Processes in the Polymer and Plastics Industry
Polymers, a cornerstone of modern industry, and plastics, their processed forms, are produced from fossil-based hydrocarbons. In suspension or emulsion polymerization processes involving materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), centrifuge technology plays a critical role in separating reactor discharge products from water, residual monomers, and catalysts. At this stage, centrifuge systems reduce product moisture content and help ensure a uniform product structure.
Centrifuges also improve recovery efficiency in pyrolysis processes, where plastic waste is returned to the circular economy, by removing carbon black and purifying pyrolysis oil.
