Centrifuge for plastics recycling
Recycling facilities frequently struggle to achieve high purity levels when processing different types of plastics. This is because traditional gravity-based methods are ineffective in separating materials with similar densities, leading to impurities and decreased product value.
Achieve high purity in plastics separation
The Flottweg Sorticanter® is a specialized centrifuge designed to tackle the challenges of plastics recycling by efficiently separating different types of plastic based on their densities. Utilizing high g-forces and a unique scroll design, the Sorticanter® ensures that the discharged plastic particles are much drier than those processed through other methods. This not only increases the product quality but also enhances the overall value of the recycled plastics. It can separate plastic particles smaller than 1 mm and is particularly effective for mixtures of fabric fibers. Additionally, it requires minimal fresh water and thermal energy, thereby lowering operational costs. Capable of running approximately 8000 hours per year, the Sorticanter® is built with durable, high-quality materials and features a user-friendly interface for easy operation and maintenance. Manufactured exclusively in Germany by Flottweg, it guarantees high process reliability and consistent performance in plastics processing.
