Three in one go: At the trade fair Fakuma HERBOLD MECKESHEIM will be showcasing the whole range of size reduction technology: Shredder, granulator and pulverizer from one single manufacturer….
BOPET and BOPP films with heavily printed surface or metallized cannot be treated with traditional recycling processes, or at least only with great difficulty due to the high standards required for the degasification of extruders….
There are mainly two fields in the plastics industry where pulverizing is required most: when recycling rigid PVC waste, pulverizing into powder creates a high-quality regenerated material that can directly be introduced into the heating mixer. In the field of rotational molding and fluidized bed coating, the virgin material is pulverized to a fineness of 500 my (35 mesh) or 300 my (60 mesh) before its treatment. …
A new more sophisticated machine technology is needed for the reusable materials recycling of PET bottles. New bottle designs are complicating the task of bottle recyclers: labels covering the whole surface of the bottle are an obstacle to optic sorting, and if these new labels have additionally been made of PVC, then the usual quality standard during reusable materials recycling cannot be maintained with the available technology. With the new label remover HERBOLD Meckesheim GmbH has presented a new process step. The HERBOLD label remover makes a preliminary treatment of the bottles before size reduction possible: removing and separating labels is the important step for high quality recycling of PET bottles….
The machine and plant manufacturer HERBOLD MECKESHEIM GmbH will present new developments for size-reducing and recycling plastic waste at the K 2010 trade show….
The advantages of a single-shaft shredder are well known: it is possible to fill a feed hopper which is then gradually emptied by means of a hydraulically operated ram without the assistance of operators: due to its special design, the rotor only €œnibbles€ at the material that is fed via the hydraulic ram….
