Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a melting/solidifying method such that an object to be processed consisting mainly of resin can be efficiently processed, completely sterilized even if it is a resin container such as a used medical syringe with a needle, greatly reduced in dimensions as a waste resin, and transformed into a resin block so as to be utilized for recycling. SOLUTION: An object to be processed mainly consisting of resin is put in a solidifying tank 20, heat-sterilized by heating the tank 20, and melted. Then, the object is pressurized from above inside the tank 20, with the upper layer of the object depressed as the lower layer is melted in the tank 20; also, the air in the object is forced out, as is a gas generated during the melting of the object; after the object is melted, it is kept warm for a set time for aging. Subsequently, the melted object is cooled, solidified, transformed into a resin block and taken out of the solidifying tank 20.

The deaeration press plate 25 placed in the solidification tank 20 and placed on the object to be processed pressurizes the object to be processed in the upper layer portion in the solidification tank 20 and sinks it. At this time, the air contained in the object to be treated and the generated gas generated during the melting of the object to be treated are expelled by the deaeration press plate 25, and the air escape provided in the deaeration press plate 25. It escapes into the heat insulation tank 8 through the hole 26. Unless the air contained in the object to be processed or the generated gas generated during the melting of the object to be processed is promptly expelled, the heat transfer efficiency is poor,
It takes a long time to melt the waste resin to be treated. In this respect, in this embodiment, as the melting proceeds from the lower layer portion in the solidification tank 20, the degassing press plate 25 pressurizes the object to be processed and causes it to sink, and at the same time, it enters the object to be processed. Since the air and the generated gas generated during the melting of the object to be processed are driven out, the melting efficiency of the object to be processed can be increased.

As described above, the air contained in the object to be processed and expelled and the generated gas generated during the melting of the object to be treated are temporarily enclosed in the hermetically-sealed protective layer 8. The inside of the heat insulating tank 8 is kept in a high temperature atmosphere by the air and the generated gas. In order to prevent an abnormal increase in the internal pressure in the heat-retaining tank, and because the contaminated air cannot be released to the outside air as it is, the gas passes through the inside of the high-temperature heater tank and is contacted immediately, and is instantly sterilized, and leaks to the adsorption tank.
