Synthetic Hair Recycling and Regeneration Machine

Abstract

A machine for recycling post-consumer synthetic hair is disclosed. The machine includes an intake assembly that receives used synthetic hair and directs it into a cleaning chamber where debris, oils, and residue are removed. The cleaned material is transferred into a melting chamber that heats the synthetic fibers to a molten state suitable for processing. The molten material is then conveyed to an extrusion assembly that forms elongated regenerated fibers. The regenerated fibers pass through a cooling region before being collected for reuse. The system is configured to accommodate irregular, lightweight synthetic hair waste and provides an integrated process for cleaning, melting, extruding, and collecting regenerated fibers, enabling recycling and reducing synthetic hair waste.

Description

SUBSTITUTE SPECIFICATION CONTAINS NO NEW MATTER

[0001] Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.121(f), the Applicant hereby states that this substitute specification contains no new matter and merely corrects formatting, spacing, and organization issues identified by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to machinery and systems for recycling synthetic hair fibers. More particularly, it relates to a machine that receives post-consumer synthetic hair waste by cleaning, melting, and reintegrating the material into new synthetic fibers used for reuse in manufacturing and textile applications.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Synthetic hair products are widely used across the beauty industry.

[0004] Currently, no standardized recycling process exists for post-consumer synthetic hair.

[0005] Synthetic hair waste accumulates in large quantities.

[0006] Used synthetic hair is often disposed of for irregular synthetic fiber content.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a specialized recycling machine.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention provides a machine that recycles post-consumer synthetic hair.

[0009] The machine features an intake and intake assembly.

[0010] The preferred form features a melting chamber.

[0011] The extruded strands are cooled and stabilized.

[0012] The invention enables creation of regenerated synthetic fibers.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] FIG. 1 is a side view of the Synthetic Hair Recycling and Regeneration Machine.

[0014] FIG. 2 is a top view of the machine showing intake, cleaning, melting, extrusion, and collection.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The Synthetic Hair Recycling and Regeneration Machine processes post-consumer synthetic hair fibers.

[0016] FIG. 1 illustrates the intake assembly.

[0017] A cleaning chamber removes debris.

[0018] A melting chamber melts the prepared fibers.

[0019] The molten material is directed to an extrusion assembly.

[0020] The fibers pass through a cooling region.

[0021] The fibers are collected on a spool after extrusion.

[0022] FIG. 2 shows the top-view layout.

[0023] The machine handles irregular and contaminated fiber lengths.

[0024] Variations may be made without departing from the originally claimed design.
