RECYCLING AND GRANULATORS | MACHINERY
guarantees energy-efficient and low-dust commi- nution. Optional sound insulation also reduces noise emission during operation. The PL-XS product line can be used both as ancillary and central mills. The machine’s manifold allows it be adapted for different feeds. Hosokawa has also developed the Combi-Grind-
er Polyplex PPC 50/120. It has a vertically arranged rotor with a top-mounted shredder and the granulator section underneath. An intake unit feeds material – automatically dosed and charged – to the shredder-granulator combi. Feed rate can be adjusted to suit the application. After passing through the shredder, material falls into the granula- tor and is comminuted to granulator fineness. The Polyplex is especially suitable for in-house recycling. Due to its design, different plastic items – such
as reject parts and purgings – can be charged together. The vertical design of the mill allows easy access to the rotor and cutting knives for rapid cleaning, which helps to reduce downtime.
Virtual help Tomra has developed a new remote assistance tool that helps to maximise machine uptime.

The tool, called Tomra Care Visual Assist,
‘virtually’ places Tomra’s experts in front of a customer’s machine – enabling the company to resolve problems remotely. The tool significantly reduces the need for in-person visits and enhances customer support, says Tomra.
An app connects on-site technicians or field service engineers with Tomra experts, who can then help to resolve a broad range of issues. As well as helping to improve machine performance,
