The Problem - Dealing with Glass.
Successful separation
of glass at the beginning of a recycling process solves
many of the problems experienced today which are caused
by the trend to break all glass as the first operation.
The newest processing
systems are designed to break the glass at a very early
stage and then try to remove the glass from paper and
plastic.
When glass bottles are
shattered in this process fragments are scattered throughout
the facility which then makes it difficult to completely
remove glass from paper, aluminium and plastic. This also
makes if difficult to clean the glass so it can be marketed
for bottle manufacturing.
Glass breaking equipment
is mechanically intense and very susceptible to wear from
glass fragments.
Facilities also suffer downtime from wrapping of rags
video tape etc.
The Solution - Twister Separator.
Use Twister contact-less
separation technology to:
Get the glass out at the
beginning of the processing system while the bottles are
still whole or in large pieces to recover quality glass
feedstock.
Avoid directing commingled
materials into hard, spinning discs and devices until
the glass has been removed.
Produce a stream where
unbroken bottle glass can easily be identified and separated
from Pyrex, heat sensitive glass, ceramics and rock.
