Plant Planning It is a great challenge to produce a saleable product from waste, with many complex tasks to be defined.

It is our aim to offer you as customer the best possible technological, economical and ecological solution for your company (for example, plastics recycling). We achieve this aim because we incorporate the precise definition of tasks together with you during the preliminary stage associated with planning of the plant.

We work out the concept together with you that corresponds exactly with your ideas. Our decades of know-how is based on knowledge from very many projects that we have successfully implemented in different geographic locations and plant sizes. Staff from our company possess not only experience as producers of machinery and plants, but also sound knowledge as (former) operators of waste recycling systems.

MECHANICAL DRIERS

The mechanical drier is the most effective drier in plastics recycling for reduction of water content after washing. Residual humidity is reached with this equipment that markedly reduces the effort of thermal drying. Depending on the product, residual humidity of < 1 % are reached.

The ground material to be dried is taken up by the machine and passed without intermediate conveying (distance up to 5 metres) to the next process stage by means of a specially designed material spout. Rotor and basket screen are designed so that high friction forces arise. Apart from drying the material, this also leads to cleaning from dust. The basket screen is therefore always kept clean by automatic screen cleaning. If desired, the vanes of the rotors may be fitted with interchangeable elements when there is high wear, in order to be able to have low repair costs.

STEP DRIER The step drier is excellent for dewatering and drying granulate in the thermoplastics polycarbonate, polyethylene, polyamide, polypropylene and polystyrene. The achievable residual moisture levels fluctuate in the range of 0.4 – 0.06 wt%.

Method of operation: Compared with conventional equipment, the step drier is fitted with a step-shaped basket screen and with an equally step-shaped rotor. The mixture of granulate and water flows into the low part of the basket screen and is conveyed from there with conveyance vanes to the next step. Here, the granulate is accelerated radially and arrives again at the stationary screen.

After separation of the splash water in the first step, the granulate is suddenly accelerated in the second step. High inertia forces are produced here, whereby the residual water drops as well as adhered water film are significantly better separated than with previously known equipment.

Before the granulate leaves the separation area, it is thoroughly flushed with air. The static pressure arising in the upper part of the drier prevents fine water mist is carried through with the exit of the product. The step drier consists of a round machine housing with drive motor and an air extraction area underneath it. The product feeding hopper is mounted on the side alongside the housing. The rotor is attached with a flange and can be lifted out of the housing after loosening of the fixing screws and swivelled to the side. Exit of the product is provided by a spiral-shaped opening in the cover. Exit of water can be chosen to be provided vertically or horizontally. All metal parts – with exception of motor and lifting hoist are made in rust-free and durable stainless steel.

DRY CLEANER

The dry cleaner serves in plastics recycling to remove contamination in a dry state. Here, dry ground or shredded material that has to be coarsely pre-cleaned from sand, stones, glass, paper, etc is introduced into the dry cleaner.

Method of operation: A robust rotor fitted with wear-resistant elements is driven by a strong motor, rotating against a basket screen. The thereby shatters brittle material (glass, stones) or breaks it down into fibres (paper). The separated contamination items are pressed in the process through the basket screen and are collected by an automatic screen cleaning system at the base of the dryer. From here, the contaminating materials are conveyed away for waste disposal. Based on practical examples, it can be shown that 90 - 95 % of the contamination materials can be separated out by a combination of the dry cleaner and the ZZ classifier (see below), without coming into contact with water or cleaning solutions. This saves an enormous amount in operating costs. Lower water consumption, therefore less waste water; lower disposal costs, as the waste remains dry and does not arise as slurry or wet waste.

ZZ classifier

The ZZ (Zig-Zag) classifier is installed at two points in our recycling plants. For separation of light films or contaminating paper after dry cleaning (see above), or for separation of fine dust in the ready product.

Method of operation: Method of operation ZZ classifierThe ZZ classifier works, as do other zigzag classifiers, on the principle of upward vacuum extraction (L – extraction air) of light contaminating materials by in a channel, into which the mixed material (A – mixed material) falls. The classification performance and quality of the final product (G) can be further increased a making a number of changes in the direction of the material.

It is difficult however for the process technology to separate large amounts of ground materials from each other. As the throughput increases, the width of the channel also increases. Channels that are too wide however are difficult to manage in terms of flow technology, leading in turn to a negative effect on the sorting result. Our ZZ classifier always works as a classifier unit with the same width and the number of units is multiplied in order to reach higher throughput. This is done with a circular arrangement in order to construct the equipment as compactly as possible and to simplify material distribution to the individual classifier units. Material distribution takes place via a distribution plate that evenly distributes the material to be separated over the classifier units.

FLOAT-SINK COINTAINERS

The float-sink containers have the task of separating plastics with different densities from each other in a fluid (preferably water), in a closed loop system. When this process describes this principle on the basis of PET beverage bottles, then it is the PET fraction that sinks to the bottom of the separation container in the density separation process, while the fractions with lighter materials, out of which closures are made, float to the surface of the separation container.

Method of operation: The separation container consists essentially of a tank that is filled with liquid and a screw for material transport after separation. Depending on the separation task, the plastic to be separated is dosed into the separation container with a stirrer or applied under the surface by screws. As can be seen in the brochure below, we have already built a number of different designs for different materials. The essential advantage of a separation container compared with other separation processes is its long life and low maintenance intensity. The operating costs are also very favourable, due the very low electrical power rating.

Method of operation: Ground material enters the Intensive Washer (best of all, via a pre-soaking screw). Water is added at the entrance to the machine and transported to the rotor area. Here, a robust rotor mixes the material and spins it so that it reaches the outer sides of the Intensive Washer through centrifugal force. Alternating spray equipment (for cleaning) and screen linings (for drying) are mounted on the outer sides. The material is therefore washed and dried a number of times, Download Intensive Washer Brochure:

FRICTION SEPARATOR

A friction separator is the right choice for high contamination of the plastics to be treated in the recycling process. Friction separators are often used to clean mixed plastics and for highly contaminated films.

Method of operation: The friction separator consists of a long, rapidly rotating rotor that cleans through horizontally or vertically conveying of ground material with water to a basket screen. A high level of friction is produced due to the high rotation speed and the design of the rotor. The basket screen and the rotor are continuously cleaned by the addition of water against the direction of product flow, so that the friction washer always remains clean.

Download Friction Separator Brochure: friktionsabscheider.pdf

CONTINUOUS HOT WASHER

Plastics with strongly adhering contamination or with high demands on quality are treated with the continuous hot washer.

Method of operation: The hot washer consists of a tank filled with a caustic washing solution (lye) in which an insert rotates with a circulatory movement. This insert consists of a number, depending on throughput amount. of individual washing chambers that are filled and emptied by a revolving principle. A predetermined amount of ground material is introduced into a washing chamber via a dosing screw. A defined amount of the caustic solution is contained in the washing chamber and is continuously moved by a propeller. As in a carousel, the container moves further until the filling process has been concluded and the next container is then filled. The circulatory movement determines the residence time during which the ground material remains in the caustic solution, until it is discharged from the carousel. A dewatering screw is located at the point of release, that transports the emptied ground material away from the caustic washing solution and brings it in a dripping wet state to the next process stage. A cleaning circuit is connected to the hot washer to continuously clean the caustic washing solution. The entire amount of the caustic washing solution is exchanged 2.5 times per hour. This involves pumping out of caustic washing solution from the hot washer for cleaning in a decanter. The cleaned caustic washing solution returns to the hot washer after passing through a heat exchanger.

Technical Data:

FUNCTION Impurities are imprinted in fabrics during processing by batching and plaiting operations or deflecting rollers. These fabrics are cleaned by rotating brushes and suction through beveled fan slot nozzles. This design enables the customer to replace the components making up the revolving brushes, and ensures uniformly high quality brushing, the brushing effect being adjustable by means of a rotatable hood. With this Kälin developed system, revolving brush contact can be adjusted by means of a beveled fan nozzle instead of from Zero up to a maximum fabric brushing effect.

ChromoJet works by injecting dye into the pile of the textile. The functional principle is similar to an office ink jet printer. Jets are arranged in groups, mounted on a print-head which traverses the mat. The computer controlled jets open and close up to 400 times per second. The color pressure injects dye with surgical precision deep into the face of the pile without any machine parts touching the fabric.
