Provided is a method for producing recycled pellets, capable of using loss films that have been inapplicable so far including a thick loss film, a wide loss film, and a loss film made of a material that has high hardness and therefore is less likely to be bent, and also capable of producing recycled pellets similar to virgin pellets. A method for producing recycled pellets includes the steps of: twisting one or more loss films (R) continuously supplied in one direction while applying a stretch to the loss film; pressurizing a twisted part to pressure-bond contact parts of the loss film (R), thereby forming a twisted string (R); and cutting the twisted string (R) to produce recycled pellets (P). The loss film (R) is preheated at a softening temperature of the loss film (R) prior to twisting the loss film (R) while stretching it.

Method and apparatus for producing recycled resin pellets

Electric power is generated by pressurizing an internal pressure of a first fuel tank (C) or a second fuel tank (C) by pressurized air of an air pump (AP) for supplying air to an air electrode () of a cell (), and supplying fuel fluid to a fuel electrode () of the cell ().

The invention provides a method capable of manufacturing a micropump check valve, inexpensively and without much trouble or time, which does not cause disadvantages even if a material that dissolves an adhesive is contained in the fluid, and which allows bonding with high accuracy. After a valve forming member and a valve receiving member are bonded, a valve receptor is projected towards a valve part and pretension is applied. Thus, the valve forming member and the valve receiving member can be satisfactorily bonded through a solid phase diffusion bonding method and the like using a relatively inexpensive material, such as stainless steel, without using an adhesive, and the pretension is not reduced when in the annealing state.

Method of manufacturing a micropump check valve

A gas-liquid separator for use in portable equipments, that can be made small, has a simple structure, can be manufactured at low costs, and carries out separation of gas and liquid with no problems occurring even if there is a change in orientation. The gas-liquid separator receives gas-containing liquid mixed with gas and performs gas-liquid separation into gas and liquid, and includes a gas-liquid separation chamber () for performing gas-liquid separation when gas-containing liquid is fed between a liquid extracting member () for passing the liquid therethrough while restricting the passage of gas therethrough and a gas extracting member () for passing gas therethrough while restricting the passage of liquid therethrough. The height () of the gas-liquid separation chamber () is set at not more than a maximum bubble growth diameter in the direction of gravity which depends on the surface tension of liquid. Thus, even when the gas-liquid separator is orientated such that the gas extracting member () is at the bottom in the direction of gravity, the liquid will not cover the gas extracting member () due to gravity and the outlet for gas will not be lost.
