Description

1. • Material Preparation: The process begins with collecting and sorting Tetra Pak cartons for recycling. These cartons typically consist of multiple layers of paper, plastic, and aluminum.

1. • Shredding: The collected Tetra Pak cartons are fed into a shredding machine. This machine cuts the cartons into smaller pieces, facilitating the subsequent processing steps.

1. • Pulping: The shredded Tetra Pak material is then mixed with water to create a pulp. This pulp mixture helps separate the various components of the cartons, such as paper fibers, plastic, and aluminum.

1. • Forming: The pulp mixture is poured onto a forming machine, which spreads it evenly onto a conveyor belt or a forming surface. This forms a wet mat of fibers with a uniform thickness.

1. • Pressing: The wet mat of fibers is then transferred to a pressing machine. This machine applies heat and pressure to the mat, compressing it and removing excess moisture. The pressing process helps bond the fibers together and forms a solid board.

1. • Drying: After pressing, the board is transferred to a drying chamber or conveyor system. Here, heat is applied to evaporate any remaining moisture, resulting in a dry and stable Tetra Pak waste board.

1. • Finishing: Depending on the intended application, the Tetra Pak waste board may undergo additional finishing processes, such as cutting to size, surface treatment, or lamination with other materials.

1. • Quality Control: Throughout the manufacturing process, quality control measures are implemented to ensure the produced waste boards meet specified standards for strength, thickness, density, and other properties.
