Metal separa- tion ensures better quality end products, says Bunting
integrated sensors that can be used to record and evaluate melt volume rate (MVR), colour and moisture. The package helps recyclers and producers to make their recyclates with consistent quality, and document them using online data acquisition and analysis. Re360 is a sophisticated MES that can keep track of
the productivity of an entire range of machinery in five modules. “A key benefit of Re360 is that it works independently of the plant manufacturer,” said Hackl. “Customers can integrate different systems and their global production locations.” Re360 gives an overview of the capacities and
stoppage times of management systems, documents key quality data of the recyclates for the location manager, and informs operators about upcoming mainte- nance jobs. It is linked to Spare Parts Online, Erema’s online shop. Upcoming maintenance work – and the replacement of individual parts – is displayed in good time by Re360, allowing spare parts to be ordered directly and keep downtime as low as possible.
Tomra’s sensor technology sorts plastic and detects metal
Sorting and separating Bunting Magnetics Europe will showcase a range
of metal separation equipment at K2016, including magnetic separators and metal detectors. It will display a working metal separator (a drawer magnet grate, following by a metal detector), and a Quicktron metal detector. Also on the stand will be production-sized examples of FF drawer magnets, plate magnets and tube magnets. “When customers visit our stand, we

want to show them the separation capabilities of our equipment,” said Dave Hills, head of sales at Bunting. “It’s one thing to say a piece of ferrous or non-ferrous metal will be separated, but another to actually show it happening.” Metal-contaminated plastic will be
gravity-fed into a feed hopper and immediately into a FF Drawer Magnet. Here, magnetic particles are captured before the remaining plastic falls into the Metal Detector – which identifies and rejects any non-ferrous metals. Tomra Sorting will demonstrate its Autosort Flake sensor technology.

www.filmandsheet.com As well as sorting plastics, the Autosort Flake
detects metal – and its twin-processing mode offers high waste throughput and consistent, high quality output from a single machine. The Autosort Flake also incorporates the Reflect option, which gives customers more flexibility to sort all types of polymers by type and colour. It can be added to existing systems. Tomra technologies cover a broad range of plastic
materials, involving tasks such as separating coloured and clear types of PET and HDPE, , as well as PVC and PE foils. Depending on the individual case, the process will deliver consistent results and end qualities of up to 99.99%, says the company.
