Efficient and high purity separation of plastics with particles of less than 1 mm
Transforms mixed plastics into pure, market-ready materials through precision separation
Cost-efficient: no need for post-dewatering and low water and energy costs
Flottweg's Sorticanter® is designed to tackle the challenging task of recycling plastics by separating them based on their densities. This centrifuge technology excels in processing plastics, including PVC, offering high separation efficiency. The Sorticanter® operates by using a centrifugal force that is much more effective than traditional gravity-based methods. Its capability to separate plastic particles, even those smaller than 1 mm, and achieve a higher dryness level in the output makes it a valuable asset in recycling operations. Additionally, the high g-forces within the Sorticanter® and its specialized scroll design ensure that the discharged plastic particles are much drier than those separated by other processes, enhancing product quality and the value of the end product. The Sorticanter® not only streamlines the recycling process but also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing waste and the need for new raw materials. Its low consumption of fresh water and energy also reduces operational costs, further underlining its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in recycling applications.
Businesses with an increasing focus on environmental protection and recycling demand new, innovative solutions. This prompted Flottweg to develop the Sorticanter® for the processing of plastics.
