Contamination in PET flakes? S+S gets it all out!
Well developed solutions for the plastics and recycling industry
S+S will present their whole product range at Drinktec/PetPoint 2009: Sorting Systems to recycle plastic packaging, inductive metal separators, often used during the production process of PET pre-forms or closing caps, as well as magnetic and metal separators for contamination detection in liquid and pasty products. The highlight of the show will be the new Flake Purifier to recycle plastic drink packaging.
Based on a modular concept, this machine can combine up to three sensors for contamination detection. In addition to the third generation of refined sensors for metal and colour separation, the Flake Purifier is also equipped with a high-performance module to recognise contamination. This means, PET flakes can now be separated from PVC flakes or organic material (previously known to lower the quality of the recycling material dramatically or making high quality recycling impossible).
The newly introduced multi-spectral sensor makes it possible to complete three sorting tasks simultaneously. Depending on the application, PET recognition can be programmed as good material or contamination. The new Flake Purifier stands out through its compact and modular design and low power consumption, as no cooling unit is necessary. The Equipment can also be ordered with simple sensors, which can be replaced by multi-spectral sensors at any time, should the sorting requirements change.
