RECYCLING AND GRANULATORS | MACHINERY
This can help them perform tasks such as material feeding, operational adjustments, and energy- optimised performance improvements at the production source, to speed up decision-making. Finally, its RMD (rapid metal detection) is a safety solution designed for slow-speed granulators. It instantly halts the rotor as soon as metal is detected – safeguarding the interface between fixed and rotating knives – without interrupting production. RMD is fully integrated into the granulator,
remaining hidden and non-intrusive. Unlike conventional metal detectors, it protects where it matters most, before contaminants reach the cutting chamber, says Rapid. This prevents costly damage to the rotor and knives while minimising downtime and maintaining process continuity.
Special projects As part of a project focused on the recovery of plastic waste in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Camec and GCB Polymers have designed and engineered a turnkey shredding and recovery plant for rigid plastics. The project focuses on creating a ‘local loop’ in the UAE to reduce dependence on external supply chains.
Camec said the system ensures an efficient, highly
automated, constantly monitored process where every stage of treatment is optimised to ensure production of a clean, homogeneous, ready-to-use recycled granule – while reducing waste and energy consumption to keep operating costs low. The treatment process is designed to transform rigid plastic waste, including mixed or contaminated fractions, into clean, ready-to-use recycled granules through an automated,
