Glass cleaning system for recycling applications
Optimize glass recycling by efficiently removing contaminants and minimizing equipment wear through precise vibrating and wind separation, ensuring higher purity end products for downstream processing.
Separates and Purifies Recycled Glass from Waste Streams
The Lubo Glass Cleaning System from Bollegraaf offers an effective solution for recycling facilities and municipal waste management companies seeking to enhance glass purity. The system utilizes a dual-stage vibrating screen with flexible screening decks, strategically removing contaminants across various size fractions. This minimizes high wear-and-tear areas by first extracting the 0-10 mm fraction, containing fine glass that could damage air systems, before efficiently segregating the 10-25 mm fraction. Integrated wind shifters, equipped with reception chutes, support continuous separation, effectively handling up to 50 tons per hour of mixed waste materials. Ideal for applications from municipal solid waste to single stream waste, this system not only improves end-product quality—such as recycled glass cullet and sorted recyclables—but also promotes energy efficiency and reduced maintenance needs. Fully automated and designed for high-speed operations, it ensures seamless integration into existing lines, supported by Bollegraaf’s expert engineering and customization services for optimal performance tailored to specific waste compositions.
