Sweden Post-Consumer Recycler Intelligent Recycling with POLYSTAR Repro-Direct

th
Date : 8 June, 2020
The Sweden reputed recycler, which is the professional
recycler and collects plastics from waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) and other products from
the automotive sector such as bumpers, battery packs,
engine piping, etc. These Post-Consumer waste are
contained with iron particles, wood pieces and paper
labels…etc. Thus, the turnkey solution from the material
sorting, cleaning, drying and processing into the high
end quality recycled pellets are the essential factors
toward business success. Thanks to the simplest yet
powerful design of POLYSTAR's recycling machine, plus
integrate with FIMIC's advanced auto cleaning filtration
system. It ensures the excellent filtration efficiency and
continuously high output performance.
that the simplest yet powerful machine of POLYSTAR,
and its high degree of fully automation control system
can be met with our expectation, says by the customer.
By adopting with SIEMENS state of art PLC plus POLYSTAR
intelligent HMI touch panel control system, the energy
and current consumption can be monitored in-time, and
the feeding, cutter compacting, extrusion, filtration,
pelletizing units are flexible switched control and data
setting precisely. The other value-added functionality of
this smart PLC control system including as below:

1. Preheating sequence of the extruder temperature
for higher degree of automation.

2. Process parameter data setting ,recording and

more fluidity. Both properties contribute to the washing
and sorting processes working better and the material 4. Operation error alarm and in-time report
thus being available in a more clean-sorted form.
Meanwhile, POLYSTAR customize the tailor-made screw
profile design which is optimized the melting flow paths
and activities for both materials, and the specific
pelletizing die head design is also beneficial for
stabilizing the quality and consistency of the pelletizing
process. Moreover, the customer request the intelligent
water level sensing control on the vibration tank to
optimize the cooling efficiency in time. With POLYSTAR
simplified and user-friendly structure design, the cooling
temperature can be visible monitored and controlled via
intelligent PLC control system, the average output of its
Repro Direct 150 is reached up to 700~800 kg/hr for our
business benefit constant contribution, impressively
described by the factory director.
As a professional recycler in the post consumer recycling For processing the post consumer grade waste material,
industry, the excellent quality of the recycled pellets the efficiency of filtration system should be the critical
and high efficiency of machinery operation are the most factors for the higher quality and stable throughput.
important two indicators we pursue. Hence, we consider After comparison of several advanced melt filter
