Tearing and sorting system for disposal plastic bags
Outline
While plastic waste used to be incinerated together with other inflammable waste, recent technological progress in resource recycling has made it possible to use the plastic waste effectively as a renewable resource.
Nevertheless, it is still necessary to eliminate foreign material (fouling adhering to plastic, contents in containers not eliminated before disposal, metals, etc.) mixed within disposed plastic waste in advance, because such material has an undesirable impact on the recycling processes.
The tearing and sorting system for disposal plastic bags, called the Trinitec Sorter, is an innovative piece of equipment that sorts lightweight plastic and heavy plastic with high levels of accuracy. It operates by focusing on the characteristics of disposal plastic and foreign materials found within the disposal plastic being handled.
Features
1. High accuracy of sorting
Compared to a combination involving a conventional bag tearing device and a sorting device (wind power sorting etc.), higher accuracy of sorting is achieved.
2. Possible to decrease workforce handling manual work
Thanks to the high pre-sorting accuracy, manual workloads can be reduced. This leads to a reduction of the workforce needed for manual work.
3. Space-saving
The length of conveyors can be reduced since the manual workload involved in sorting can be reduced. This allows for a compact design of manual sorting spaces for which an air conditioning systems are necessary.
4. Addresses various waste qualities
Various qualities of waste can be processed with ease by adjusting each element of the sorting system (blast volume, rotor rotation, gradient).
5. Easy maintenance
The rotor shaft of the bag tearing system has a special structure, so the amount of foreign material that cling to the shaft can be reduced. Additionally, the burden caused by maintenance is also minimized since tangled substances are automatically eliminated with the system’s cleaning function.
