Weighing technology of MTS MessTechnik Sauerland GmbH ensures continuous supply of glass for the downstream processing plant Load cell for quantity measurement in glass processing Glass can be recycled an unlimited number of times - without any loss of quality. Hardly any other raw material can do this. The recycling cycle consists of the following steps: collecting glass, transporting it, processing it, melting it down and forming it into new glass products. The reprocessing process itself is very complex. In order not to lose sight of the effort required for reprocessing, it is essential to record the mass flows in the reprocessing process. With this in mind, the family-run recycling company Reiling Glas Recycling GmbH & Co. KG from Marienfeld turned to MTS MessTechnik Sauerland GmbH. The task was to record the input quantity of ”hollow glass” in the charging bunker in order to ensure a continuous supply of material for the downstream processing plant. And this, if possible, without any additional effort in the process sequence. Weighing technology from the high-load range The

High grade purity despite impurities: Innovative complete plant with three operating modes safely filters recycled aluminium from difficult input material According to statistics from the German industrial credit bank AG (IKB), global production of primary aluminium increased by 3.1 per cent to 65.3 million tonnes in 2020. In addition, around 11.8 million tonnes of the light metal were recycled. Especially in the case aluminium scrap, grade purity plays a major role for subsequent processability. In order to be able to sell the purest material possible on to aluminium processing companies, and thus most profitably, an Austrian company needed new equipment for crushing and separating different input materials. The challenge: The aluminium dust and aluminium alloys with magnesium admixtures produced during the crushing process are highly flammable, so there is an acute risk of fire and explosion in the plant. To ensure the safety of the machines and the employees at all times, the company cooperated with Erdwich Zerkleinerungs-Systeme GmbH. The experienced company from Igling in Bavaria implements a special plant concept

In order to be able to process flakes directly on injection molding machines, ENGEL uses the consistently high cleaning effect of the ERF350 high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger Flakes obtained from plastic waste by grinding can be processed directly in the injection molding process if any foreign substances are thoroughly removed from the melt. The associated technology was developed by injection molding machine manufacturer ENGEL, which chose a high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger, a manufacturer belonging to the Maag Group. This continuously ensures the required purity and thus enables consistent product quality at a high level of production efficiency. The elimination of a separate pelletizing step conserves material and reduces energy requirements and CO2 emissions, contributing to even greater sustainability in the recycling of plastics. The heart of the innovative, two-stage technology, which ENGEL will be presenting live for the first time at the K2022 trade fair, is a modular injection molding machine from the duo series, designed for the two-stage process. The ERF350 melt filter from Ettlinger, like the additional degassing
