Dusseldorf (Germany), November 2022. Recycling specialist Lindner showed all-in-one solutions for efficient plastics recycling at K 2022 in Hall 9 and the outside area as part of the VDMA Circular Economy Forum. As a pioneer in plastics recycling, Lindner knows what the recycling and circular economy wants: higher throughputs, short downtimes and maximum energy efficiency. The increased demand for quality recyclates also requires first-class washing components that can be added as modules depending on the degree of contamination. This can be achieved thanks to product innovations and the perfectly coordinated upstream processes of shredding – washing – sorting. As one of the few recycling specialists, Lindner offers all-in-one solutions to efficiently optimise these steps to process rigid plastics, films and PET. Film recycling – optimised quality Whether post-commercial or post-consumer, films make up much of the world’s waste. Different degrees of contamination require adapted washing and drying processes. This is the only way to produce high-quality recyclates. The specific features of Lindner’s new Jupiter BW series ensure an increase in efficiency and quality.

Make the most of waste. Jupter BW’s special shredder set-up enables precise, true-to-the-particle shredding of film fractions, resulting in a 44% reduction in fines. Plastics have been an essential part of our daily lives for many decades. Whether in medicine, the food sector or the automotive industry, the easy processing and application abilities of polymers over other materials means that they are represented in a wide range of industries. Packaging materials such as films, primarily made of polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE) and polypropylene (PP), have a particularly short product life cycle and also account for a significant portion of waste generation worldwide at a total share of around 40%. Optimising quality in film recycling Due to the high volume of waste, there is a high demand for efficient recycling solutions for film fractions. Modular washing and drying processes customised explicitly to the input materials – with and without hot wash – ensure the plastic flakes or the regranulate are optimally cleaned. The upstream sorting processes are equally crucial, ensuring that only recyclable materials pass through the washing

Level indicators working with the capacitive measurement principle can be used in all types and shapes of tanks, regardless of whether these are metallic or non-metallic. - PPS probe with 1-inch process connection - Chemical resistance & compact design Due to their high sensitivity, their compactness and the range of probes, they are suitable for a wide variety of industrial process requirements. A well-known manufacturer of aluminum sulfate in Peru was looking for a compact level measurement for its raw material tanks with 98% sulfuric acid. Due to the strong corrosion caused by the acidic material, the decision was made to implement the robust capacity indicator Capanivo® CN 7000 from UWT GmbH. Sulfuric acid is extracted from sulfur in a number of ways and is one of the most dangerous acids known in the world. The colorless and odorless chemical is viscous, water-soluble, hygroscopic and hardly corrosive. Due to its properties, sulfuric acid is used in a large number of different industries and is one of the most widely produced chemical raw materials in the world. Different sulfates are produced by reacting appropriate salts with

For the first time, trade fair booth in new, extraordinary design Schönberg, December 2022 Schönberg-based Sesotec GmbH, a leading manufacturer of metal detection, sorting and analysis systems, presented itself at the K trade fair in Düsseldorf from October 19 to 26 under the motto ”Economy meets Ecology”. The company is thus positioning itself as a provider of answers to the key global issues of the circular economy, sustainability and resource conservation in the plastics industry. Climate change, the scarcity of finite resources and the vast quantities of plastic waste in the world’s oceans are key issues in politics, business and society and are putting the plastics industry under increasing pressure. The circular economy poses a variety of challenges for plastics manufacturers, processors and recyclers - but also offers numerous opportunities. ”The K trade fair in Düsseldorf was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the contribution our foreign object detectors, material analysis and sorting systems and services

With the GSME and HOTSPOT detectors from REMBE, an artificial intelligence has been created that detects fire and explosion events at an early stage. The GSME detector is an artificial nose, ”trained” for pyrolysis - popularly known as smoldering gases, while the HOTSPOT detector represents an artificial eye that already detects surface temperature changes of 1 ° C. REMBE´s HOTSPOT X20 measures surface temperatures using an intelligent evaluation system, which divides the field of view into detection zones. A separate temperature threshold value can be set for each individual zone in order to tailor the detection to the process as far as possible. The HOTSPOT X20 can even identify small temperature increases (1°C) and enables to warn the operator of a fire or glowing embers at extremely early stages. The HOTSPOT X20 can also be used in explosion atmosphere up to zone 20 and under high dust loads and monitors a temperature range in the standard version of 0-200°C (higher temperatures possible, but typically not required). Mainly hydrocarbon compounds are released when many substances thermally decompose.
