Disc Agglomerator densifies thermoplastic materials.

Press Release Summary:

Plastcompactor CV compacts material at softening temperature, avoiding thermal molecular degradation and reduction of material viscosity. Final process obtains granulates with bulk density and fluidity almost identical to original product, without thermal history. It handles thin film edge trim, carpeting rejects, polyester foam, plastic fibers, and pre-sorted domestic waste. Accessories include dosing systems, variable speed feed screw, and automated controls.

Netzsch-Condux® Plastcompactor Guarantees Top Quality

EXTON, PA, November, 2002 o NETZSCH-CONDUX®, a proven leader in manufacturing dry grinding, classification and compaction equipment, offers the best solution for your compacting and recycling applications - the Plastcompactor CV. The NETZSCH-CONDUX® Plastcompactor CV is a state-of-the-art disc agglomerator used to densify any thermoplastic materials, including thin film edge trim, carpeting rejects, polyester foam, plastic fibers, and pre-sorted domestic waste. The NETZSCH-CONDUX® Plastcompactor CV stands for gentle, free flowing granulate manufactured economically from leftover film, fiber and foam materials. This efficient and easy to maintain machine does not compact at the melting point of the material. Compacting takes place at the softening temperature, therefore avoiding thermal molecular degradation and a reduction of the material's viscosity. The final process obtains top-quality granulates with a bulk density and fluidity almost identical to that of the original product, without a thermal history. Compared to an Extruder, the Plastcompactor CV is a lower investment cost for processing films and fibers. This machine can be used for inline recycling in the production processes in which the granulate is returned directly to the production line. In addition, offline recycling is possible. In this application, the material scrap is transported to an offsite location for processing. Optional accessories for the Plastcompactor CV include: dosing systems for adding coloring agents, variable speed feed screw, and automated controls. Compact, reuse, recycle - NETZSCH-CONDUX® Plastcompactor CV - the right solution! NETZSCH Incorporated is the North American subsidiary of the globally operating group of NETZSCH companies.
