Starlinger - recycling technology for post-consumer plastics

1 2 3 4 5a 6 7 8 5b Post-consumer plastics have various forms and originate from different sources. Depending on the polymer type, recoSTAR dynamic or recoSTAR PET is the recycling system of choice. The physical shape of the plastic, its level of impurities, and the final application of the regranulate define the detailed machine configuration. recoSTAR dynamic The recoSTAR dynamic recycling line is a flexible system that processes both rigid and flexible post-consumer plastics such as LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, PP, PS, ABS, SAN. Residual moisture after the washing line is effectively removed in the SMART feeder. The SMART feeder ensures ideal material preparation prior to extrusion by simultaneously performing the following functions: Shrink & cut, Mix & homogenise, Active feed & control, Rotate & friction, Temperature & dry. The dynamic automation package regulates the ideal operating point. The automatic speed adjustment of the rotating disc and positioning of the load-controlled intake slider increase the output and allow the processing of materials with higher levels of humidity. Melt filtration is essential for high quality applications: The continuous melt filter in the center of the machine removes any solid contaminants immediately. The C-VAC degassing unit with its modern cascade set-up increases the melt surface by 300 % and ensures perfect pellet quality. Depending on the application and quality requirements, a second filter, placed in front of the pelletizer,can be added. 1. Conveyor belt with metal detector 2. Nip roll feeder 3. SMART feeder 4.
