Post commercial and post consumer rigid and soft plastic washing system
The films are shredded , ferrous metals and minerals are eliminated before these – depending on the degree of contamination – washed and dried repeatedly and then turned into high-quality plastic flakes.
The Recycling Solution
Recycling processes for these plastic fractions are characterised by comprehensive shredding, sorting, washing and drying steps. Optimal bale opening and pre-shredding enable optimal performance of the downstream sorting systems. A second shredding process, where minerals and metals are extracted, is followed by a plastic separation process. When it comes to washing, the LINDNER WASHTECH hot-wash system is usually indispensable whenever strong odour and grease residues occur. Special attention must also be paid to the correct drying process so that, despite the high volume, a dryness degree of 4 - 6 % can be achieved.
