Study Notes
Rubber Recycling: ASTM D5644 Testing
- This video provides a step-by-step demonstration of a vibratory shaker system, a cost-effective way to test recycled rubber materials.
- This method helps businesses develop new markets and manufacture dependable rubber-based products.
- It emphasizes the importance of ASTM international standards for consistent quality control, and the importance of understanding how these standards help classify rubber types.
Importance of Recycled Rubber
- Recycled rubber plays a significant role in the circular economy, where rubber is continuously recycled into new products.
- It is used in various applications, such as ground stabilization, traffic safety products, flooring, roofing materials, and even as new material in tires.
ASTM D5644 Standard
- The ASTM D5644 standard defines a precise process for testing rubber materials.
- It specifies the steps taken and the methods for measuring results.
Shaker System Testing: Materials and Tools
- The testing process requires specific materials and tools, including:
- Vibratory shaker system (e.g. WS Tyler RX-29)
- Multiple sieve trays (200 mm/8 inch)
- Digital scale with tare function (sensitivity of 0.1 grams)
- Different brush types for cleaning
- Measuring cups
- Rubber balls or plastic rings
- Flow agent (e.g. magnesium silicate or silica)
- Tools for extraction and cleaning
Shaker System Testing: Steps
- There are five key steps to the ROTAP system:
- Selecting Screen Trays: The appropriate screens are chosen based on the particle size distribution of the product being tested.
- Prepping the Specimen: A 100-gram sample of rubber is weighed and transferred to a glass jar.
- Preparing the Flow Agent: A measured amount of flow agent is added to the jar, depending on the product's mesh designation (coarser than 300 micrometers/50 mesh or finer).
- Screening the Specimen: The rubber/flow agent mixture is placed on the top sieve, the stack is placed in the shaker, and the shaker is activated for a specified time (10 minutes for coarser material, 20 minutes for finer material).
- Evaluating the Results: After shaking, the material retained on each screen is weighed, and the results are recorded.
Results & Understanding
- The total weight of the recovered material should be within 2 grams of the initial sample weight.
- The results can be used to determine the particle size distribution of the material, which can help determine its suitability for specific applications.
Conclusion
- The video emphasizes the need for proper testing and classification of recycled rubber to ensure the quality and suitability of the final product.
- It encourages viewers to contact the company to schedule a demonstration and download a user guide for more information on testing and classification.
