I have. After use, the styrene-based resin foam molded article is incinerated or heat-shrinked, and is recovered in the form of a heat-shrinkable mass. Non-standard products at the time of manufacture, heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable lump, etc. are mainly miscellaneous goods by injection molding,
Used only for limited applications such as building materials by extrusion,
Its use is urgently expanding.

It is considered that it is preferable to reuse as expandable styrene resin particles. However, at present, there are few examples in which a heat-shrinkable lump recovered from a styrene-based resin foam molded article is industrially regenerated as expandable styrene-based resin particles.

形状が扁平状となる問題があった。[0005] As a method for regenerating expandable styrene resin particles from a heat-shrinkable mass of a foamed styrene-based resin molded article, a method in which the heat-shrinkable mass is pulverized, formed into pellets by an extruder, and impregnated with a foaming agent. Is considered the most common. However, when the extruder is used to form pellets with a strand type / pelletizer, the resin is subjected to a tensile stress in the stretching direction due to the rotation of the pelletizer, and a stretching strain is generated in the styrene resin obtained by cooling and solidifying. For this reason, when the foaming agent is impregnated, the resin is softened and the stretching strain is relaxed at the same time, and the obtained expandable styrene resin contracts in the stretching direction, and the shape of the expandable styrene resin particles becomes flat. There was a problem.

A quench method (gas impregnation method), which extrudes pellets in an unfoamed state, has been developed, but this method is disadvantageous in terms of productivity and cost.
It is considered difficult to commercialize it industrially.

A load of kgf / cm 2 was applied, and the amount of resin flowing out of the 1 mm cylinder in 10 minutes was measured. The resin flowability of the styrenic resin in the present invention is in the range of 5 to 15 g / 10 minutes. When the resin fluidity is less than 5 g / 10 minutes, the shape of the obtained regenerated foamable styrene-based resin particles becomes egg-like, and when the resin flowability exceeds 15 g / 10 minutes, the styrene-based resin is excessively softened. Therefore, pellets of a predetermined size cannot be obtained due to defective cutting.

カット不良を引き起こす。In the present invention, when extruding a heat-shrinkable lump or bead-like styrene-based resin of a styrene-based resin foam molded article into pellets with a strand type / pelletizer type extruder, the heating temperature of the extruder is 220 to 260 ° C. Range. At the above heating temperature, tensile stress is not easily applied in the stretching direction, and stretching strain hardly remains in the obtained styrene-based resin, so that the regenerated foamable styrene-based resin particles obtained by impregnating with a blowing agent do not shrink and have a spherical shape. Become. Heating temperature is 22
If the temperature is lower than 0 ° C., since tensile stress is applied to the resin and stretching strain remains, the regenerated foamable styrene resin particles obtained by impregnating the foaming agent shrink and become flat. On the other hand, if the heating temperature exceeds 260 ° C., the resin is excessively softened, resulting in poor cutting.

ある。In the present invention, the diameter of the styrene resin pellet is 0.4 to 0.6 with respect to the die diameter of the extruder.
It is preferable to cut into pieces. If the diameter of the pellet is less than 0.4 with respect to the die diameter of the extruder, a tensile stress is applied in the stretching direction, and when the foaming agent is impregnated, the shape of the foamed particles tends to be flat, and 0.6 If it exceeds, the volume of the particles becomes large and an unimpregnated portion called a core is formed at the center of the styrene-based resin particles, and when pre-expanded, the expanded portion and the unexpanded portion tend to be mixed in one expanded particle. is there.

The regenerated expandable styrenic resin particles obtained by impregnating the foaming agent become long and slender egg-shaped, and when pre-expanded particles are filled into the mold, foaming occurs when there is a thin part.
