Every extrusion blow molded bottle leaves flash at the neck, base and handle. The KSY recovery device collects that flash at the machine, crushes it and returns the regrind to the extruder, so scrap goes back into production instead of into a bin.
The recovery device links four steps into one automatic loop beside the machine.
The deflashing unit punches neck, base and handle flash from each bottle as it leaves the mold.
A conveyor under the deflashing station carries flash away continuously, keeping the machine area clear.
Conveyor belts →The crusher cuts warm flash into regrind of even size, which feeds and melts consistently.
A vacuum loader sends regrind to the hopper, where it is proportioned with virgin resin and masterbatch.
Flash is clean, single-grade material. Reusing it immediately is the cheapest raw material saving on a blow molding line.
The recovery device is configured to the flash volume and bottle size of the machine it serves.
Flash is the excess plastic pinched off by the mold at the neck, base and handle of a bottle. It is trimmed after molding and can be reground and reused.
Most producers keep regrind below 20 to 30 percent of the blend. Higher ratios can reduce stress-crack resistance and affect surface quality, especially for chemical containers.
Yes. A recovery device combines a scrap conveyor, crusher and vacuum loader so flash is collected, ground and returned to the hopper without manual handling.
Tell KSY your machine model, bottle weight and flash percentage. We will configure the conveyor, crusher and loader to match.
