<p>A method is proposed for processing plastic coated textiles, particularly plastic backed textile floor covering and for recovering the textile fibers and plastics contained therein. The method includes the following process steps: - chopping the materials to be processed into small chips approximately 5 x 5 to 10 x 10 mm2 in size; - mixing the chips with water, thus forming a pumpable substance; - comminuting the chips in a mill, thus forming a pulp; - dewatering and drying the pulp; - mechanically separating the fibers from the resulting plastic granules. Also disclosed is a system for implementing the method which is characterized by the following component groups: - a chip making device composed of longitudinal and transverse cutters for the materials to be processed; - at least one intermediate storage means for the chips with connected dosing and transporting device; - at least one stirrer for producing the chip suspension: - at least one mill for converting the chip suspension into a pulp; - at least one screening device with connected dryer; - at least one mechanical separating device for separating the fibers from the resulting plastic granulate, with the component groups of stirrer, mill and screening device being connected with one another by means of lockable liquid conduits.</p> |
