The Entire Process Chain from a Single Source
Strong System Components For Customised Facilities
Recycling as a smooth running process chain – this is the idea of our innovative machinery concepts. From shredding and material separation to the washing and drying processes, we offer high-performance system components for every processing phase down the line. This creates tailor-made solutions that couldn’t work more efficiently. Because all the units are perfectly coordinated.
Micromat Series
The high-performance, robust shredders of the Micromat series guarantee optimum pre-shredding and bale opening of waste plastics.
These shredders reduce the feed material to the exact grain size needed for the downstream processes, from 8 to 250 mm.
- Wide range of customisable drive units, rotors and knives as well as special options for plastics
- Energy-saving types of drive units, with and without frequency converter
- Maintenance-friendly layout thanks to the specially designed maintenance flap for quick & easy access to the rotor
- Continuous in-line removal of non-shreddables thanks to the safety clutch
- Wet shredder model efficiently detaches dirt particles by directing jets of water onto the rotor
Rafter
The Rafter is an efficient pre-washing unit for heavily contaminated, primary shredded plastics, such as post-consumer LDPE films and hard plastics made of HDPE and PP.
In three different phases contaminants and impurities such as metal and glass and loose material adhesions are effectively separated – optimally preparing the input material for the downstream washing process.
- Slow torque speed for gentle processing with minimal wear & tear
- Removal of contaminants and impurities by chain-type conveyor
- Easy to integrate into existing systems to increase washing efficiency
Twister
The friction washers from the Twister series ensure highly efficient cleaning of contaminated plastics.
Even the finest particles of dirt are removed in a highly dynamic washing process and then separated through a screen. Friction is generated by directing jets of water onto the rotor.
- Variety of machine sizes available with throughput of up to 5.000 kg/h
- Stainless steel machine housing
- Special rotor variants for different materials guarantee optimum washing efficiency
- Quick-change rotor paddles and screens
- Robust and maintenance-friendly design
Hot-Wash System
The hot-wash system is specially designed for extremely tough contaminants and removes even grease and oil adhering to the material, while also eliminating any glue residues and unpleasant odours.
Through the combined use of three special components – reactor, hot-wash Rafter and hot-wash Twister – the system delivers a highly-effective and at the same time continuous cleaning process.
- Efficient removal of tough dirt particles adhering to the material due to optimally dosed friction and defined material dwell time
- Can be operated with water or a caustic solution, depending on application and material
- Integrated water treatment facility, if required with automatic monitoring and control of the caustic solution
- Ideal for applications in PET and post-consumer plastics
- Washing temperature between 50°C and 85°C
Loop Dryer
In the Loop Dryer the plastic granulate is dried mechanically and any particles adhering to the material are detached using controlled centrifugal force.
The dryer spins the plastic granulate at approx. 600–1,000 rpm, drying it in the process. The water and any particles such as paper adhering to the material are reliably separated through a special screen.
- Continuous cleaning unit on outside of screen
- Rotor diameters of ø 1000, 1200, 1500 and 2000 mm
- Maintenance-friendly layout thanks to the specially designed maintenance flap for quick & easy access to the rotor
- Paddles changeable & individually adjustable
Step Dryer
The Step Dryer enables gently drying of even brittel and sensitive plastics.
- Gentle drying in 5 screen segments at increasing speed
- Minimised material losses
- Highly energy efficiency
- Stainless steel machine housing and rotor
Thermal Dryer
In the Thermal Dryer the film fractions are dried to get them ready for the extrusion process.
In a spiral approx. 30 metres in length, thermal drying of the film fractions to less than 3 % residual moisture takes place using adaptive heating technology. The highly efficient SPS control guarantees a constant temperature, keeping energy consumption at a minimum.
- Optimised residual moisture for downstream extrusion
- Flexible application options thanks to modular design
- Different machine sizes for various materials and throughput capacities
- Optionally as gas or electric models available
- EcoDry version: upon request with heat exchanger, therefore particularly energy-saving
Graviter
The Graviter separates the waste plastics according to their weight.
The tried-and-tested sink-float method is used for reliable separation of the plastics. In this process step, plastics with a density of < 1 g/cm³ (PE, PP) is separated from plastics with a density of > 1 g/cm³ (PVC, ABS, PET).
- Available in 3 model variants (1500, 2000, 3000) with a range of throughput capacities
- Cost-efficient and low-wear processing
- Low water consumption – even with films – thanks to optimised material flow
- Machine casing entirely made of stainless steel
- Removal of heavy fractions by chain-type conveyor
Graviter PET
The Graviter PET is specially designed for PET washing facilities.
- Best possible separation of PET flakes from PO flakes
- Cost-efficient and low-wear processing
- Frequency converter controls the discharge screws
- Low water consumption
- Machine casing entirely made of stainless steel
Film Examiner
The Film Examiner improves the output quality in film washing systems.
Reliable separation of small hard contamination particles which are extremely difficult to remove using traditional methods within the washingline due to their specific density and size.
- Mounted directly in the air stream after the thermal drying process
- Utilization of the different flow characteristics between small contamination and light film flakes
- Retrofitting of existing plants is fast, easy and cost effective
Cascade Wind Sifter
Air flow separates the material in the sifter’s cascades
- Separation efficiency thanks to a controlled air flow
- Cyclone and cascades made of stainless steel
- Throughput rate 2 – 5 t/h
Xpert De-Labeller
The new XPERT de-labeller enables reliable separation of labels or sleeves from plastic packaging
- Reliable label removal with zero plastics shredding
- Straightforward cleaning thanks to easily accessible inspection opening
Vario Dosing and Mixing Solo
The Vario dosing and mixing silo enalbes sustainable optimisation of throughputs and cost-effectiveness
- Constant and homogenous material output
- Straightforward cleaning thanks to easily accessible inspection opening
