FROM END-OF-LIFE TO NEW LIFE MATERIALS
PROCESSING OF POST-CONSUMER & POST-COMMERCIAL RIGID PLASTICS | PP
PP waste is generated as mono or mixed fractions while sorting commercial, domestic or bulky waste. The robust shredder, which is resistant to non-shreddables, reliably shreds these materials into sortable flakes. These are then mostly separated by colour, and subsequently cleaned to obtain a homogeneous source material for new, high-quality goods.
RIGID PLASTICS | PP
Gewonnen aus dem dualen System oder Sperrmüll, sind End-of-Life Materialien aus PP-Kunststoffen in der Regel dünnwandiger als Produkte die aus HDPE-Kunststoffen hergestellt sind. Sie sind zudem oft sehr spröde und beinhalten oft organische Rückstände die beispielweise in Joghurtbecher enthalten sind. PP-Materialen verfügen zudem über eine geringer Schüttdichte als HDPE-Produkte auf Grund der Wandstärke und des Folienanteils.
recycling Solution
Similar to HDPE, the best and most efficient recycling solution depends on the future application of the recycled material. In the case of heavily contaminated plastics, hot washing is a very effective solution. For these fractions, it is important to separate film and PP, for example using the LINDNER WASHTECH windsifter.
RIGID PLASTICS
PP PACKAGING & BOXES | PO BOXES
These are plastics such as monofractions and mixed plastics recovered from commercial waste or kerbside waste collection. The pre-shredders from LINDNER’s Micromat series are sturdy machines that are resistant to foreign objects and obstructions and reliably reduce the feed material to the defined grain size. The separation technology is of special importance to the washing process. Here the plastic with a density of > 1 g/cm³ is separated from the PO fractions using various different methods. Alongside its tried-and-tested sink-float method, LINDNER WASHTECH also offers hydrocyclone separation technology.
