Brazilian recycler Global PET expands production with a 4th infrared dryer from KREYENBORG. Recycled food-grade PET is booming in Brazil. According to a recently published official study, the nominal capacity for PET recycling in the country is around 400,000 tons per year (t/year). From which, about 140,000 t/year are from the only recovered thermoplastic that is approved in the country for direct contact with food and beverages (except mineral water), according to Irineu Bueno Barbosa, Jr., partner and commercial director of recycler Global PET. With its production having increased 60% since 2017, Global PET shows how hungry the market is for recycled food-grade PET. An important reason for this growth within the last five years for the Sao Paulo-based company has been the introduction of infrared technology (such as the IRD from the German machine builder Kreyenborg) into their existing lines. With Kreyenborg’s system, PET flakes are heated, dried, and crystallized before extrusion. ”We intensively compared conventional heating and drying technologies

MTS developed the CDW, the conveyor discharge weigher, for low and medium flow rates from 200 to 5,000 kg/h. Weighing is very accurate because it is static. The recovery and recycling of valuable materials into raw materials is becoming increasingly important in order to conserve resources and reduce the final disposal of waste. Special weighing solutions are required in such applications in order to precisely record the individual recyclable materials with low flow rates. Recyclable materials from waste should not only be separated by type, but also precisely recorded in terms of quantity. Belt conveyors are usually used to transport the waste. The use of a built-in belt scale for weighing the recovered recyclable materials during transport on the belts is an obvious solution - but often fails as a solution, especially in the area of slag processing and separation, due to the low flow rates. The MAV Group operates plants at several locations in Germany for the processing of waste incineration grate ashes, which also contain valuable metals. These valuable materials are separated in several process stages and returned

A few tricks are enough to improve recycling and reusing materials, even in the most” strange” processes. We read everywhere about the importance of recycling and how it is our duty—an act of kindness for our planet and the environment. We are certainly all in agreement. But ... (and there is always a but) in some cases – specifically the odd ones - to recycle, you need to think outside the box. So we decided to tell you some unusual recycling stories that our customers sent us. In many cases, we were left speechless. In others, truly amazed. We hope you are too after reading their stories. And if you have bizarre stories, too, send them our way. Gypsum Imagine a massive chemical plant that is constantly trying to improve its carbon footprint. They had 200,000 cubic yards of nylon-contaminated gypsum. How did they separate the two? By installing an MB-S18 screening bucket on their Caterpillar 323 and voila. The gypsum was cleaned of all nylon residues. An out-of-the-ordinary but very effective method. See video.

Going with a swing, the next generation is taking the helm at family business Aufbereitungstechnologie NOLL – and presents an ultra-compact, ultra-cost-efficient laboratory machine at POWTECH 2022. A new generation of Nolls is now in charge at NOLL Processing Technology, the German specialist for dry powder processing system solutions and fine particle technology: With effect from November 2021, Bettina Noll as managing partner and Karolin Noll as member have assumed the company’s leadership from their parents. “Together we look back on a very successful business year 2021.

Etra Oy wanted to optimise labelling in their huge logistical centre in Finland, specifically for packages of bolts and screws they offer in all available sizes. The huge stock of pre-printed labels kept growing along with their offer, and increased labelling efficiency became a necessity. Read how Brady helped them to answer the challenge to optimise a huge stock of pre-printed labels. Solution: Integrated high volume full colour label printer Brady proposed the VP750 Label Printer that can quickly print huge volumes of high definition full colour paper labels. The capabilities of the printer enable many on-site package label design options, both to identify and trace the contents of the package, and for marketing and branding purposes.

Modern solutions for efficient storage processes Measurement technology Rotonivo® and NivoBob® combined with data visualisation NivoTec® Modern, high-quality technologies ensure a continuous stress-free manufacturing process in plants. When it comes to detecting fill levels in silos and material processing operations, sensors with a high level of compatibility for different process containers provide the optimum support for a smooth process. Depending on the processing stage, the material to be controlled can be of very different nature and place different demands on the measurement technology to be used. Users from different industries with a number of scattered storage silos consider it increasingly necessary for their plants to be equipped with automated visualisation and monitoring of the data in addition to continuous measurement of the fill levels. In order to guarantee a professional solution in terms of precision and process reliability for content measurement during the various stations in the manufacturing process to support a production facility, it is necessary to react to the respective

Recycling Specialist Lindner’s New Plant Delivers on Automation, Robotics, Flow Manufacturing and Increased Depth of Production Mission accomplished. Only one year after the topping-out ceremony, the move into the new offices and the modern, 14,000 m² production area was completed in July this year. The high global demand for Lindner’s quality products made it necessary to expand the plant and the team. The motto in the new home of recycling, however, has not changed one bit: Make the most of waste. Recycling has been experiencing a strong upswing for many years – worldwide. From the very beginning Lindner Recyclingtech has been considered a pioneer , which is why shredding solutions from Spittal in Austrian Carinthia have been used internationally for decades and are considered a benchmark in many areas. A g rowing awareness of energy costs, the scarcity of resources and raw materials have increasingl y highlighted the importance of the circular economy. In 2019, due to the associated higher demand for efficient recycling solutions and Lindner’s endeavour to support its customers

Sorting systems for recovering high-quality, pure glass materials. Planned deposit system and circular economy drive development forward. Up until 2016 RE-Glass Kft., with head office in Orosháza and other yards located in Budapest and Mezőörs, processed 7-8 thousand tons of flat glass per year, while bottle glass – because of the lack of mode rn technology – was only 1-3 tons per year. As there is only flint glass production in Hungary, there was only a market for flint flat and packaging glass domestically. The collected and treated mixed packaging glass was exported as mix-glass. In 2016 Mátyás Máthé became the new owner of RE-Glass. He is assisted by Ferenc Aszódi as Managing director. The reason for this decision Hungary lags behind the EU-wide average and standards for collecting and recycling glass waste. The government of Hungary begun planning to introduce a deposit fee system in 2023 for packaging glass, which would ensure the satisfaction of EU expectations. This also would prevent this material flow from ending up in landfills. Mátyás Máthé and Ferenc Aszódi explain:

For three decades, sustainability has been the focus of the family-owned company Krall Kunststoff-Recycling in Elsenfeld am Main. Krall’s history began with a small plan t in early 1992, when “recycling” still was almost unheard of in public. Manufacturers and processors were offered the takeover of plastic residues for subsequent type-sorting and grinding. From the very beginning, executive director Markus Krall focussed on transparent plastic materials, mainly polycarbonate and PMMA, which constitute the core business still today. Further key aspects are engineering plastics and the recycling of CDs. Today, the company comprises six workshops with a total floor area of 12,000 square meters. With about 40 employees, two shredding machines, and 10 chopping mills, the company will reprocess some 8,000 tonnes of plastic materials in the anniversary year, consequently working with environmentally friendly solar power. The type-sorted regrinds from Krall Kunststoff-Recycling are raw materials worldwide sought-for by processors who gladly return them into the materials cycle – for the direct

The company Hydraulik-Paule visited MB Crusher in Fara Vicentino On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of a successful cooperation, Johann Paulus (owner), Manuel Paulus (junior/rental park), Claudia Ligensa (administration) and Margit Paulus (administration) from the company Hydraulik-Paule GmbH & Co. KG paid a visit to MB Crusher. The first contact was already in 2010, but it should take another 2 years until MB got the confidence of Johann Paulus to start with a successful cooperation. In 2012, finally, the first demonstration of a BF70.2 in freezing cold. Demonstrated and convinced. The first deal was made and it was not to be the last. And it was the year in which history was written. Hydraulik-Paule was the first German dealer to sign an exclusive contract for MB crusher and screen buckets. 6 years ago Johann Paulus, owner of Hydraulik-Paule GmbH & Co. KG, last visited the MB Crusher production facilities and a lot has happened since then. Not only has Hydraulik-Paule grown steadily, including the opening of a rental
