In an era where global environmental awareness is on the rise, effective management and recycling of mixed waste plastics have become a focal point for society. This article explores ThoYu’s intelligent crushing and cleaning equipment, and ThoYu’s self-developed waste plastic pallet machine can transform waste plastics into durable plastic pallets.
Raw Material Processing: From Mixed Waste to Uniform Size
Waste plastic recycling often encounters issues due to the mixed nature of the raw materials, which can include various types such as PET, PP, PE, PVC, HDPE, and LDPE.
For example, the materials from ThoYu’s recent collaboration with a client in the Philippines display varying shapes and contamination levels.

Crushing Process:
Using a multi-stage crushing system, different sized waste plastics are uniformly pulverized to particles smaller than 8mm. The equipment features an adjustable Mesh Size that controls particle size as needed.
Deep Cleaning:
Pre-wash Stage: Initial removal of large particles.
Contaminant Separation: Extraction of metals, glass, adhesives, and other foreign materials.
Friction Washing: Efficiently eliminates adhered contaminants.
Multiple Rinses: Ensures the cleanliness of the material.
This crushing and cleaning system utilizes water resources sustainably, significantly reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
Core Technology: Advantages of the Molding Process
Processed waste plastics are melted in an extruder and injected into a Customized mold. They are then cold-pressed into shape using the waste plastic pallet machine, resulting in densely structured pallet products.

Traditional injection molding processes demand high-quality raw materials, complex craftsmanship, and elevated costs. In contrast, the molding process allows for the direct use of waste plastics, producing molded pallets through high-temperature and high-pressure techniques, facilitating flexible and cyclical production.
ThoYu’s self-developed waste plastic pallet machine has many significant advantages:
* Excellent Structural Design: Utilizing a full cast steel structure and a three-beam, four-column guiding system to ensure mold closing accuracy.
* High Production Flexibility: Capable of producing various products like pallets, turnover boxes, manhole covers, and gratings through mold changes.
* Controlled Product Quality: Ensures density and strength meet industrial usage standards.
Intelligent Production System
The production line incorporates a PLC intelligent control system, allowing for one-touch operation. Optional robotic arms facilitate automatic pallet packing and stacking, significantly increasing production efficiency. The entire process is safeguarded with covers, emergency stop devices, and an intelligent sensing protection system.
Overall, the production process implements wastewater recycling, standardized treatment of waste residue, and avoids the release of toxic gases, meeting comprehensive green manufacturing requirements.
Currently, all equipment has been packaged according to standards and shipped to the Philippines, where our engineering team will conduct installation, debugging, and operational training, with an official production launch expected in March of this year.
