The following systems have been developed specifically for recycling operations, plastic manufacturers and sawmills.
The VARISORT X glass separator has been specially developed for the fully-automatic separation of heat-resistant glass, lead glass, or tableware with a minimum of product loss.
The VARISORT N utilises multiple spectrum analysis based on reflected light to separate out-of-specification contaminants from plastic material flows. High quality, high purity plastic fractions are the result, ready for subsequent processing.
The VARISORT N is typically deployed by plastics recyclers and plastics processors where product sorting and/or decontamination is required.
In plastics processing plants, conveyor belts with integrated metal detectors are used for the protection of comminution machines such as cutting mills and shredders. The conveyor belt systems of the PLASTICON series have been specifically designed and built for this purpose.
The PLASTICON system inspects piece goods or bulk materials (moulded parts, blow-moulded parts, reject parts, sprues, etc.) for metal contamination.
Lateral guides with brush seals prevent small parts from getting under the conveyor belt. When a metal is detected the conveyor belt is stopped or reversed.
A range of different metal detector units can be used depending on the required scanning sensitivity and the height of the material on the belt.
The LICON-HX metal detection system comprises the LIGNUM-HX tunnel metal detector and a heavy-duty conveyor belt to provide a complete solution for wood processors.
The LICON-HX detects driven in nails, shell splinters, cramps, projectiles, broken hooks, or grown in broken chain links. It is usually integrated in the conveyor line between the log feeder and saw.
The metal detector features outputs for controlling marker systems, separating units and cut-off saws depending on the application needs.
