Interpretation of the European Plastics Recycling Machine Innovation Award

Recycling automation technology not only solves the problem of difficult sorting of complex types of plastic waste, but also reduces waste of resources, improves recycling efficiency, and helps achieve the purpose of environmental protecti.

COREMA® Cascade is equipped with a central user interface that facilitates control of the entire system, with a high degree of automati.

PRE (Plastics Recyclers Europe) is an organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the European plastics recycling industry and supporting the transition to a circular econo.

Recycling and mixing in one step

The COREMA® Cascade extrusion system, which won the Recycling Machine Innovation of the Year Award, is an extrusion line for mechanical recycling and post-consumer thermoplastic composite recycling jointly built by INTERSEROH and ERE.

Through Erema technology, recycled materials such as PP non-woven fabrics, PE scraps, PA fibers and other raw materials are converted into filtered melts, which are then directly fed into Coperion co-rotating twin-screw extrude.

The technical advantages of the COREMA® Cascade extrusion system include: flexible input of various recycled raw materials through pretreatment unit and countercurrent operation technology; production of filtered melt material using erema technology; short residence time, in twin screw / mixing Direct melt addition to the extruder/extruder minimizes thermal stress; degassing with Erema pretreatment unit and extruder; central user interface that facilitates control of the entire syst.

In terms of economic benefits, the added value is increased due to the use of cheap raw materials (such as PP non-woven fabrics, PE scraps, PA fibers, e.

COREMA® Cascade extrusion system operating steps: automatic feeding according to customer requiremen.

In the extruder screw, the material is plasticized and homogenized, and then cleaned and decontaminated in a fully automatic self-cleaning filt.

The prepared clean melt is directly fed into Coperion's co-rotating self-cleaning twin-screw extruder through a melt pu.

In addition to adding various additives, a large number of fillers and reinforcing agents can also be mix.

Automatic continuous screen changer

The Gorillalabelt T automated continuous screen changer system for plastic recycling from Cofit was nominated for the Innovation Award, and its greatest strength is continui.

At any time, as long as the pressure value reaches the set threshold, it will automatically change the scre.

Gorilllabelt T is the first step towards Industry 0 - enabling just-in-time extrusion projec.

Gorilllabelt T advantages include: zero polymer loss during cleaning cycles; operation at high process parameters: temperatures up to 300°C, pressures up to 300 bar and output rates also up to 000 kg.

The biggest advantage of the Gorilllabelt T plastic recycling automated continuous screen changer system from Cofit is its continuity, which ensures uninterrupted melt flow without any noticeable pressure peaks during screen chan.

Also worth mentioning is the increased level of automation, easy programming and user-friendly controls that increase productivi.

Production can be permanently assisted via the Gorillalabelt T screen changer LAN connection, providing ready-to-use internet acce.

With a special remote assistance module, any process faults can be easily assessed and repaired, as well as a quick update of the control softwa.

In addition to reducing downtime, remote assistance ensures maximum productivity and reduces labor costs involved in manual operations; reduces system downtime and maintenance interventions and reduces energy consumption, enabling 24/7 uninterrupted production without interruptions or downti.

Key points to read:

‧Recycling and mixing materials in one step can save energy and time;

‧The biggest advantage of the automatic continuous screen changer is the continuity, which can ensure uninterrupted melt flow without any obvious pressure peaks during the screen changing proce.

Bin-e is an IoT-based smart garbage collection and sorting device that automatically identifies, sorts and compresses garba.

So how does Bin-e work intelligently?

Automatic classification — identification of waste types through identification systems based on artificial intelligence and image processing;

Compression of plastics and paper - built-in mechanisms reduce the volume of plastics and paper;

Fill level control - the fill level in each smart bin is displayed on the touch screen and in the app;

Automatic notifications — when a smart bin is full and needs to be emptied, the waste management company will receive an automatic notification from the app;

Data Collection - The device collects the data of each waste and uploads it to the cloud; provides instant data; IoT platform - optimizes all waste management operatio.

Bin-e can recycle raw materials, utilize waste resources, optimize collection routes, reduce carbon dioxide emissions during transportation; reduce waste management costs, time and lab.

Bin-e realizes automatic and intelligent online garbage collection and classification through highly Internet of Things technolo.
