Circular economy. Closing the plastic cycle – economically, profitably and sustainably.
How can you profitably produce large volumes of high-quality recyclates?
How can you reduce the loss of plastic during the recycling process?
How can you increase your profitability by using recyclates?
What risks are associated with the use of recyclates?
How can you verify the quality of purchased recyclates?
How can you ensure product quality so as to avoid complaints?
How can you make sure that your equipment is working profitably and without downtime, even when you are using recyclates?
We look forward to discuss potential solutions to these questions concerning the plastics cycle – and many more!

Compared to conventional belt sorters, the VARISORT COMPACT sorting systems are characterised by a compact design with low space requirements and corresponding mobility. By means of an inductive metal sensor, all types of metal can be detected and sorted out. The colour and shape sensor allows differentiation of different coloured metals and colour and shape sorting for many other materials in the size range from 5 to 50 mm. With the help of the near-infrared sensor, different types of plastic can be separated from each other.
With PRE-SORT, the VARISORT COMPACT sorting unit, dedusting, material conveying and central control components are combined on one platform. Plastic regrinds are sorted according to colours, shapes, types of metal or types of plastic, depending on the requirements of the production line. This makes PRE-SORT an effective solution for sorting regrind. A unique feature is its mobility. Built on a mobile base, PRE-SORT can be used wherever the platform is needed.
Companies that produce new granulate from recyclate use the FLAKE SCAN material analysis system in incoming goods inspection. In recycling, the device is used by quality laboratories in the outgoing goods inspection. In both areas, manual analyses have been carried out up to now, which take a lot of time and whose results are not reproducible. With FLAKE SCAN, on the other hand, reports on the composition of the plastic types and on off-colour components can be produced within a few minutes in consistently high quality and with reproducible results.
Granule loss in production means a reduction in productivity for manufacturers and processors of plastics, in addition to the subsequent impact on the environment. Material rejected by metal separators contains a high proportion of metal contaminants and must be disposed of, which means additional costs and loss of value. With the new RE-SORT metal separation unit, contaminated plastic granulate can be reliably cleaned of metal foreign bodies and recovered for reuse in production.
The metal separator RAPID VARIO-FS is used to inspect bulk materials in free-fall conveying lines. Due to the separate design of the detection and separation units, the position of the bad outlet can be rotated according to the position of the collecting vessel.
It detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metal contaminants (steel, stainless steel, aluminium, ...) - even if they are enclosed in the product. Metal impurities are separated out via the reject flap ("Quick Flap"). The RAPID VARIO-FS metal separator is mainly used in industries with low hygienic requirements.
