COPERION TO AID UNIVERSITY’S MIXED PLASTIC WASTE INITIATIVE
CONCETTI BAGS A FISHMEAL DEAL
Italy’s Concetti has supplied a producer of high quality fishmeal with a weighing and bagging system with a production capacity of 1200 25kg bags per hour. The customer’s objective was to automate and increase the packaging output, strongly influenced by the characteristics of the product – a semi free-flowing mixture of coarse and fine powders. The behaviour of the product changes during the process, the most challenging being the tendency to clump.

Coperion of Stuttgart is supplying an extrusion system to Ghent University in Belgium for research and development tasks in chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste. Coperion designed the laboratory system, built upon a ZSK 18 MEGAlab twin screw extruder, for chemical recycling of post-consumer waste within a throughput range of 1-10 kg per hour. Along with the extruder, it includes a feeder from Coperion K-Tron and a vacuum unit. Plastic waste, especially packaging waste, is generally a mixture of materials with a high degree of contamination. Recycling this kind of raw material is usually difficult, as sorting and cleaning of waste is in many cases neither economically viable nor technically feasible. As a trailblazer in chemical recycling of plastic waste, Ghent University has laid the foundation for many developments within the field that are paving the way to sustainability. |
