Test and Evaluation of Plastic Media Recycling Flooring

Abstract

The performance of existing plastic media blasting (PMB) recovery floors and recycling equipment was evaluated to determine operational efficiencies. Emphasis was placed on the reliability, maintainability, operating costs, and the separation efficiency of the PMB equipment. Although dependent on site specific information, economic analyses appeared to favor partial recovery floor system using a pneumatic undergrate and transport system. Samples of usable media reclaimed by the recycling system and unusable media rejected as waste were classified by size and analyzed for contaminants to evaluate recycling system efficiency.
