Product overview
Plastic oil makers can recycle plastic waste by heating PET bottle caps in MSR’s camping stoves to turn them into plastic fuel.
Plastic mark "Plastic identification mark"
The material of the container and packaging is displayed on the product so that consumers can easily separate and discharge the container and packaging.
As a material for recycling plastic, other than PET bottle caps, containers and packaging labeled “PP” or “PE” can be used as fuel.
High density polyethylene (HDPE)
High-density polyethylene is strong against impact and has excellent chemical properties. The main uses are shopping bags, buckets, washbasins, kerosene tanks, pipes, nets, containers, etc. in supermarkets and convenience stores. These can also be recycled fuel.
Low density polyethylene (LDPE)
Low density polyethylene is often used as a film. Its low cost is useful as a simple wrapping for confectionery and clothing and as a garbage bag, and it is also often used for wrapping fresh foods containing water due to its high water resistance. Bubble wrap, commonly referred to as “bubble wrap,” is also made from LDPE. In addition to packaging materials, it is also used for processed paper, black film for agriculture, shrink film that reversely utilizes the characteristics of shrinking due to heat, and sanitary gloves. The main uses are plastic bags, wraps, both sides of paper packs, high-voltage power lines, etc. These can also be recycled fuel.
Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene has strong chemical properties and is used in the same applications as polyethylene, but it has better heat resistance than polyethylene. The heat resistant temperature is 100 to 140 ° C. Main uses are containers, toys, sporting goods, electrical appliances, carpets, packaging materials, textiles, stationery, plastic parts, laboratory equipment, speaker cones (diaphragms), automobile parts, banknotes as building / construction materials and household items. It is used for various purposes. Of course, these can also be used as fuel.
Product features
- You can put 500g of PET bottle cap as it is. (By crushing, it can process up to 1 kg.)
- The plastic in the heating kiln is heated with the MSR Dragonfly stove.
- The heated plastic melts to generate decomposition gas that passes through the catalyst in the different diameter ferrule to reduce its molecular weight.
- The low-molecular-weight decomposition gas is indirectly cooled by water to become liquid fuel (plastic fuel).
- Off-gas that has not been converted to plastic fuel passes through a flashback prevention device and is returned to the burner of the dragon fly stove and burned to carbon dioxide.
- The plastic remaining in the heating kiln becomes carbon and becomes a carbon compound.
