Method and device for treating plastic material

摘要

The device has a housing container (1) divided into cylindrical upper chambers (6a, 6b) and a lower chamber (6c). A mixing and/or shredding tool (7a) is rotated around a vertical axis (8) and arranged in each chamber. A material is brought into permanent pieced and/or particulate shaped and non-fused state by the tool, and a unit (5') e.g. feed screws, exchanges and/or tests the non-fused material between the chambers. The chamber (6a) and/or relatively lying upper chamber (6b) comprise a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the chamber (6c) subjacent in a material flow direction. An independent claim is also included for a method for treating a thermoplastic plastic material e.g. polyester and polyethylene.
