If the material has a high moisture content, the plastic recycling system C:GRAN is the ideal solution. Flakes or films with a residual moisture up to 25 % are processed in this plastic recycling system without problems thanks to its excellent pre-drying properties.

Description

C:GRAN is distinguished by its advanced cutting geometry. For this, the fast-moving rotating blades in the cutter bin have been combined with efficiently arranged guides at the cutter bin outlet. In this way, the material is prepared for the extruder screw. C:GRAN is also an ideal option for a component of a cascade extruder or a compounding system.

ABMF is the automatic band-melt-filter perfectly matching C:GRAN. It has outstanding properties such as high degrees of filtering fineness, continuous extruder operation during the band filter transport, cyclic band filter replacement and fully automatic operation.

At a glance

• Preparation of flakes and films with residual moisture up to 25 %
• Output rate up to 1,700 kg/h (3,700 lbs/h) depending on type
• Temperature regulation in the cutter bin
• Ideal as a component of a cascade or compounding system
• Makes a perfect combination with ABMF melt filter

The operating principle of C:GRAN

The plastic scrap is shredded in the cutter bin by rotating blades. Specially arranged guides ensure that the plastic scrap is further compressed in the direction of the rotating blades.

In the cutter bin. the additional plastic scrap is shredded, compressed, heated and fed into the extruder screw.

The advanced extruder screw design allows for better utilization of the material compaction from the cutter bin. This leads to an improved output rate at the desired high degree of homogenization and low energy input.

Processing of wet materials

Due to the high heating of the plastic scrap in the cutter bin, it is also possible to process wet materials, e.g. from washing lines, with residual moisture up to 25%. A partial drying or degassing of print colors or other additives is carried out during shredding and processing.

Optimized material processing

Thanks to the optimal new cutter design and efficiently arranged material guides, the material is well cut, compressed and heated. The high level of processing in the shortest possible time optimally fills the screw and thus provides high output rates with low energy consumption.

Temperature regulation in the cutter bin

During the cutting process in the cutter bin, the feeding into the cutter bin and the extruder is automatically regulated by temperature sensors.

Efficient extruder

The high level of processing of the material to be recycled and the optimized screw design for every material ensures best possible homogenization and highest output with low energy demand.
