Material sorting and contaminant removal in the plastic recycling industry
2022-Jan-20
Fighting climate change and building a circular economy are some of the top priorities of our time. These projects present various challenges for plastics manufacturers, processors and recyclers, but also many opportunities. The global approach to plastics must be rethought – from legislation to the development of new packaging materials to innovative Recycling Plastic Separating Machine technologies and usage concepts.
Recycling saves energy, and used plastic is often cheaper than virgin material. Additionally, for every ton of recycled plastic used to replace similar virgin materials, 1.45 to 3.22 tons of greenhouse gases can be saved. However, recycling old plastic can only be a lucrative venture if the material has previously been separated into homogeneous parts by color and type to meet high quality standards. Our
pet bottle sorting machine can handle the job - sorting PET, HDPE, PE and PVC with precision, reliability and efficiency.
Grotech is one of the leading specialists in industrial
Plastic Color Sorting Machine and systems. Our systems use various types of sensor technology to reliably differentiate materials and efficiently separate the material flow into homogeneous parts by color and type.
Grotech's material analysis systems are used in quality laboratories to inspect shipments. Previously, material analysis had to be performed in a time-consuming manual process. In just a few minutes, Grotech analytical systems can generate consistently high quality and repeatable plastic type composition and color error reports.
The circular economy - it has to be profitable
Recycling converts used plastic products into recyclables. This recycled material can be processed in place of virgin materials to create new plastic products, which themselves can be recycled again after use. Grotech's foreign object detectors and material analysis systems help increase the efficiency and profitability of this cycle.
