Pain Points of the Textile Recycling Industry

Complexity of Fiber Types

The textile recycling industry grapples with a significant challenge stemming from the intricate mixture of natural and chemical fibers. Natural fibers, such as cotton, wool, and silk, possess unique physical properties like softness and absorbency, while chemical fibers like polyester, nylon, and acrylic offer durability and elasticity. Processing these diverse fiber types together is arduous, as their different melting points, tensile strengths, and chemical reactivity can lead to uneven shredding and compromised quality of the recycled material.

 

Diverse Fabric Structures

Textiles come in various forms, including clothing, carpets, and home textiles, each with distinct structural characteristics. Clothing items often feature seams, linings, and complex cuts; carpets have thick pile structures and backing materials; and home textiles may incorporate layers of different fabrics. These structural differences require customized processing approaches, making it difficult to adopt a one - size - fits - all recycling method.

 

Impurity Issues

Another major hurdle is the presence of impurities such as metal zippers, buttons, and plastic tags in textiles. These non - textile components not only interfere with the shredding process but also pose risks to recycling equipment. Metal parts can damage the shredder blades, while plastic tags and buttons may contaminate the recycled fiber, affecting its quality and usability in subsequent applications.

 

Technological Innovations of Single-Shaft Shredders

Flexible Crushing Technology

Nanjing Wanguo's single - shaft shredders are equipped with a unique flexible crushing technology. The specially designed blades are engineered to minimize fiber damage during the shredding process. Unlike traditional shredders that may cause excessive fiber breakage, these blades use a combination of cutting and tearing actions, ensuring that the integrity of the fibers is largely maintained. This results in higher - quality recycled fibers with better length retention and reduced fiber entanglement.

 

Integrated Magnetic and Air Separation

To address the impurity problem, our single - shaft shredders feature an integrated magnetic and air separation system. The magnetic separator effectively removes metal components like zippers and buttons as the textiles pass through the shredder. Simultaneously, the air separation mechanism blows away lightweight impurities such as plastic tags and dust, ensuring that the output of the shredder is relatively clean and ready for further processing. This on - line impurity removal process significantly improves the efficiency and quality of the recycling operation.

 

Humidity Adaptability

Textiles are often collected in a damp or wet state, which can pose challenges to the recycling process. Our single - shaft shredders are designed with a special treatment process for handling humid textiles. The shredder's components are made of corrosion - resistant materials, and the internal structure is optimized to prevent clogging caused by moisture - laden fibers. This allows for seamless processing of wet textiles without sacrificing shredding performance or equipment durability.

 

Processing Flow and Technology

Pretreatment Stage

The recycling process begins with the pretreatment stage. Clothing items, carpets, and home textiles are carefully sorted according to their fiber types and structures. Metal zippers, buttons, and other non - textile accessories are manually removed to prevent damage to the shredding equipment. This meticulous sorting and de - attachment process lays a solid foundation for the subsequent shredding and recycling steps.

 

Crushing Stage

In the crushing stage, the textiles enter the single - shaft shredder for multi - stage crushing. The first stage breaks the large textile pieces into smaller chunks, and subsequent stages further refine the fibers. The variable - speed control of the shredder shaft and the precise blade configuration ensure that the fibers are shredded to the desired fineness, meeting the requirements of different downstream applications.

 

Post - treatment Stage

After crushing, the recycled fibers enter the post - treatment stage. Here, fiber screening equipment separates the fibers according to their lengths, removing any oversized or undersized particles. The screened fibers are then compressed and packaged for easy transportation and storage. The entire post - treatment process is designed to maintain the quality of the recycled fibers and prepare them for reuse in the textile industry.

 

Quality Standards for Regenerated Textiles

Fiber Length Distribution Requirements

Regenerated textiles have specific requirements for fiber length distribution. Longer fibers are generally more suitable for applications such as spinning into high - quality yarns, while shorter fibers may be used in non - woven fabric production. Our single - shaft shredders are capable of producing recycled fibers with a controlled length distribution, ensuring compliance with industry - standard requirements for different textile products.

 

Impurity Residue Limit Indicators

Strict limits are set for impurity residues in regenerated textiles. The integrated separation system in our single - shaft shredders helps to keep the impurity content well below the allowable limits, ensuring that the recycled fibers are free from contaminants that could affect the quality and performance of the final textile products.

 

Strength and Color Standards of Regenerated Fibers

Regenerated fibers must meet certain strength and color standards. The flexible crushing technology of our single - shaft shredders helps to preserve the strength of the fibers during processing. Additionally, the cleaning and separation processes ensure that the fibers retain their original color or can be easily dyed, meeting the aesthetic and performance requirements of the textile industry.

 

Future Development Trends

Biobased Fiber Processing

With the increasing popularity of biobased fibers, which are designed to be biodegradable, there is a growing need for specialized treatment technologies. In the future, Nanjing Wanxu aims to develop single - shaft shredder solutions that are optimized for biobased fibers. These solutions will take into account the unique properties of biobased fibers, such as their sensitivity to heat and moisture, to ensure effective and sustainable recycling.

 

High - value Fiber Regeneration

The industry is moving towards high - value fiber regeneration, aiming to achieve a full - industry - chain breakthrough from regenerated fibers to regenerated fabrics. Our company is committed to researching and developing technologies that can transform recycled fibers into high - quality fabrics with excellent performance and aesthetic appeal. This will not only increase the economic value of recycled textiles but also contribute to a more circular and sustainable textile industry.
