Film separation system for recycling processes

Facing challenges with film removal in recycling streams? Optimize your pre-sorting process by efficiently extracting over 70% of large films, simplifying handling downstream while maintaining high operational speeds.

Removes Films from Mixed Recyclables

The BRS Filmgrabber from Bollegraaf is engineered to efficiently remove film materials from waste streams, utilizing a revolving drum equipped with variable speed motors and retractable pins. This system excels at withdrawing films like plastic bags and wraps from recyclables, positioning it upstream in the sorting line to enhance accuracy for cabin operators and optical sorters. Suitable for applications in plastic and mixed recyclables, municipal solid waste, and construction and demolition waste processing, it manages materials larger than A4 size with over 70% removal efficiency. The BRS Filmgrabber boasts a notable processing capacity, featuring an aeraulic suction system with an integrated dust collector handling up to 20,000 M3/H. Designed for continuous high-speed operations, it ensures minimal downtime and maintenance due to its self-cleaning mechanism facilitated by retractable pins. This robust and durable equipment is a preferred choice for recycling facilities seeking streamlined, efficient waste processing solutions.
