Washing systems

NEUE HERBOLD to supply washing systems for the new plastics recycling plant of Morssinkhof Rymoplast

0:57 min Recycled plastics
Sinsheim, Germany

Dutch recycler Morssinkhof Rymoplast is building a new plastics recycling plant in Belgium. The plant, to be built in Lommel in the Belgian province of Limburg, will recycle post-consumer packaging made of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE-HD). For the washing systems, Morssinkhof-Plastics is relying on the technology of NEUE HERBOLD Maschinen-u. Anlagenbau GmbH / Sinsheim, which has been known and proven for years.

NEUE HERBOLD of Sinsheim will supply 4 identical wet grinding systems including flotation tanks and cleaning stage.

After mechanical drying, a NEUE HERBOLD gravity separator is provided. Each of these processing lines is designed for a throughput of up to 1500 kg/h.

At the heart of these systems are NEUE HERBOLD type SM granulators, which are equipped with a special type ZB feed hopper with screw guide.

This device ensures almost continuous feed of the feed material into the grinding chamber of the granulator. At the same time, this device closes the feed hopper and prevents flyback of regrind from the hopper opening.

Other benefits include

  • Lower amperage peaks of the granulator drive motor, resulting in potential energy savings of up to 18%.
  • A reduced noise level

In addition to the feeding device described above, the granulator is designed with full wear protection, which is provided either by bolted, replaceable wear plates or by means of a wear-resistant welded protection.

These (specialty) granulators are also used for grinding of PET bottles and film waste.
