High-performance plastic sorting facility in the Netherlands
By the editorial staff, April 21, 2016
Bollegraaf Recycling Solutions, manufacturer of turnkey recycling solutions and recycling equipment, has just completed the installation of the most efficient sorting facility for plastics in the Netherlands with a capacity exceeded by more than 50 %.
Bollegraaf Recycling Solutions has set up an innovative and fully automated modular recycling unit. The facility's capacity targets were exceeded by more than 50%. Thus, it provides around 7 tonnes / hour of perfectly sorted plastics. This allows Daly Plastics to reach the final objective: the production of a very pure aggregate, reused as raw material for new quality products. Another advantage of this installation: if the supply of materials to be sorted changes, the installation can easily be converted and adapted without incurring high costs.
The installation consists of a crusher, after which the product is freed of all ferrous elements, then freed of small impurities such as sand, using ballistic separators, the Elliptical screens of Lubo Systems bv (subsidiary of the Bollegraaf group). Then follows the separation according to types and possibly colors using optical scanning, followed if necessary by manual quality control. The product is then treated by a baler to obtain homogeneous bales. After this process, reprocessing continues to the finished product via an innovative Drd dry cleaning and granulation system.
Note that Lubo Elliptical screens are used to separate 2D from 3D materials. The mesh of the grids on the pallets is easily adaptable to obtain a custom screening.
