Plastic recycling line Tandem

The TANDEM technology applied to the recycling of heavily printed, contaminated and high humidity plastic materials guarantees the excellent quality of the granule with a notable energy savings in comparison with conventional recycling systems that foresee the re-extrusion of the material.

The plant is composed of a COMPAC unit and two extruders arranged in succession.
The short, non-vented primary extruder and the larger diameter secondary extruder allow for a reduction of the cutting forces (“shear rate”) and stress less the melted material.

Distinctive characteristics:

Line suitable for the recycling for heavily printed high humidity and contaminated materials;
High performance degassing chamber;
Possibility to have double filtration.

LINE	PRODUCTION CAPACITY (Kg/h)*	ENERGY CONSUMPTION (KWh/Kg)*
GM90	250 ÷ 500	0.30 ÷ 0.40
GM105	400 ÷ 680	0.30 ÷ 0.40
GM125	600 ÷ 950	0.30 ÷ 0.40
GM160	1000 ÷ 1400	0.30 ÷ 0.40
GM180	1500 ÷ 2000	0.30 ÷ 0.40
GM210	2000 ÷ 2800	0.30 ÷ 0.40

* The capacity refers to LDPE, and can vary depending on the density of the material, degree of pollution, print and humidity percentage.

Advantages of the line

ECOTRONIC System

The ECOTRONIC system created by Gamma Meccanica, applied to the cutter-compactor, optimizes the speed of the cutter-compactor in order to maintain the requested temperature without the use of water.

Feeding screw

It pushes the material (especially low bulk density) into the extrusion screw. The screw speed is automatically adjusted to keep constant the extruder production.

High performance degassing chamber

Here the surface of material exposed to vacuum is 10 times greater than the exposure of a normal extruder, guaranteeing the extraction of large quantities of gas and contaminants.

Double filtration
