In the recycling process of PET bottles, a GKM vibration screening machine is used to clean the washing water of the PET flakes. A GKM tumbler screening machine is used for fractionating and dedusting the finished PET flakes. Raw materials from recycling The recycling of materials is becoming increasingly important due to the scarcity of raw materials and for the sake of environmental protection. This also includes recycling of PET. In recycling, waste products reintroduced a new production cycle, respectively, base materials become secondary raw materials. The materials produced in this way are referred to as recyclate or regenerate materials (source: Wikipedia). From 2025 on, non-refillable PET beverage bottles in the EU member states (regulation (EU) 2019/904) must contain at least 25% recycled plastic, so-called recyclate. Recycling of PET bottles In the recycling process of used for PET bottles, depending on the procedure, the labels and caps are sometimes removed in advance after that the bottles are sorted by color and then shredded. The next step is usually the washing of the crushed mass, afterwards dried and freed from final impurities. For this recycling process of PET bottles,

Sugar is among the most demanding screening materials. The RHEsono vibration screening machine by RHEWUM precisely separates sugar at high throughputs Sugar is among the most demanding screening materials. It draws moisture, tends to agglomerate and has abrasive properties. To achieve maximum precision in separation under these conditions, vibration screening machines with direct excitation of the screening mesh are a good choice. The RHEsono vibration screening machine utilizes magnetic vibrating heads to transfer motion impulses directly to the screening mesh. The impulse can be precisely adjusted to the properties of sugar. The screening mesh begins to vibrate, the sugar is deimpacted at a high frequency, agglomeration is reduced. To counter any clogging that might nevertheless occur, the RHEsono has an additional cleaning pulse which clears the screening mesh at regular intervals. This neither interrupts the screening process, nor does the pulse negatively affect separation precision. This technology allows the RHEsono to achieve highest precision in separation at high throughputs, in this case more than

Sodium carbonate is difficult to screen as its hydrophilic properties cause agglomerations. RHEWUM’s high quality sieving technology increases production. Soda ash is obtained from sustainable production sources, such as the processing of wood. Soda ash is an indispensable raw material in partticular for the glass industry, but also used as a bleaching agent in the chemical industry and not least in the lye of Bavarian pretzels. The demand for high-quality soda ash is high. The quality of the soda granulate is significantly influenced by the performance, and thus the quality, of the screening machine in use. Soda ash is considered to be a difficult material to sieve, which easily sticks to the screening mesh and tends to form lumps due to its hydrophilic properties. The screening mesh can quickly become clogged and the entire production come to a standstill. Thus, the reliable supply of soda ash for important industrial sectors, and with it the capacity of soda ash producing plants, depends on the screening machine. With the RHEWUM WA, RHEWUM offers a state-of-the-art screening machine with direct excitation of the

Vibration screening is suitable for a wide range of bulk solids and tasks. Advantages of the JEL Konti II vibration screening machine: hygienic design; easy handling and fast screen change. Vibration screening machines are suitable for a wide range of bulk solids and screening tasks. This is mainly due to the various adjustment options: The key parameters such as screen inclination, vibration motor tilt angle and vibration motor imbalance can be quickly and easily adjusted to the specific screening task and can also be documented. Despite the relatively low amplitudes, vibration screening machines achieve high accelerations which reduce stuck particles and guarantee outstanding screening performance. Laterally arranged vibration motors, as with the JEL Konti II, allow for very compact screening machines with a low installation height which can be easily integrated into tight conditions. Additionally, the vibration screening machine JEL Konti II is popular for its Hygienic Design, easy handling and extremely fast screen change.

When a Round Vibro Screen Would be a Better Bet Vibration screening machines are among the most popular screening machines on the market. No wonder, as this type of screening can be used for almost any product, with the exception of easily breakable bulk solids. It is particularly effective as the screening movement for vibration screening machines is, unlike with linear screening machines, vertical as well as horizontal, meaning even small vibration screening machines can achieve large levels of output. Vibration screening machines are available in a variety of different sizes and designs, meaning that the shape of the screen – which influences many different aspects of the screening process – probably plays the biggest role when it comes to selecting an appropriate machine. Round vibration screening machines which have specific benefits, and are even the better choice for some applications. Round screening machines Small space, large screening surface area – the low amount of space required per

New Long-Stroke Screening Machine by Engelsmann Regardless of whether you are mixing, conveying or dosing – when it comes to handling fragile bulk solids, sensitivity is required. This particularly applies to screening machines, as the back and forth movement on the screen surface places a relatively high mechanical stress on the screening product. If this aspect is not taken into consideration when choosing and designing your screening machine, it can lead to an unwanted breakdown of grains which then results in an increased number of over- and undersized particles in the product, causing it to be no longer fit for purpose. A screening process that is gentle to the product is therefore a decisive criteria for many facility operators when it comes to choosing the right screening machine. An additional issue that screening machine suppliers have to face – aside from ensuring the quality of the screening product – is the demand for a machine handling that is a simple as possible. This requirement is commonly

This articles gives reasons why you shouldn’t do without protective screening in industrial manufacturing processes. Protective screening is probably one of the most common screening procedures in industrial manufacturing processes. You will learn why you shouldn’t do without protective screening, and what makes a good protective screen using the example of the reworked Engelsmann screening machine JEL Fix II. Why protective screening? Protective screens are used to eliminate disruptive foreign objects and impurities from bulk goods. These foreign objects can be plastic residues, for example, or metal parts such as screws which end up in the product by accident and can cause contamination. Lost knives for cutting bagged goods or protective gloves have also been found in products. To ensure a consistently high quality in the end product, these foreign objects must be separated before the product is put into its sales packaging. If this doesn’t happen, the worst-case scenario for the manufacturer is product recalls and a damaged public image. Contamination doesn’t just
