Get on-the-spot identification with high-performance materials. Increase inspection efficiency with Scafftag’s reliable holders and inserts that can communicate the safety status of any type of equipment at the point of use. Highly efficient equipment inspections Scafftag holders and inserts can communicate best practice inspection procedures on the equipment that needs inspection. Both the holders and removable inserts are highly customisable and can support the standardisation of inspection procedures. A QR code can also be printed on the inserts or holders to activate a digital inspection flow via a smartphone and Safetrak software, complete with inspection planning management and automatic inspection report generation. Clear communication at the point of use When properly used and applied on equipment and in plain view, Scafftag can always communicate the latest equipment status to anyone who wants to use a specific piece of equipment. Tags are available for almost any tool or equipment, including ladders, scaffolds, drills, vehicles and engines. Inspection records on the tag’s insert will show when equipment was considered fit for use. When equipment fails inspection, the inspector…

Weighing technology of MTS MessTechnik Sauerland GmbH ensures continuous supply of glass for the downstream processing plant Load cell for quantity measurement in glass processing Glass can be recycled an unlimited number of times - without any loss of quality. Hardly any other raw material can do this. The recycling cycle consists of the following steps: collecting glass, transporting it, processing it, melting it down and forming it into new glass products. The reprocessing process itself is very complex. In order not to lose sight of the effort required for reprocessing, it is essential to record the mass flows in the reprocessing process. With this in mind, the family-run recycling company Reiling Glas Recycling GmbH & Co. KG from Marienfeld turned to MTS MessTechnik Sauerland GmbH. The task was to record the input quantity of ”hollow glass” in the charging bunker in order to ensure a continuous supply of material for the downstream processing plant. And this, if possible, without any additional effort in the process sequence. Weighing technology from the high-load range The…

The handling of bulk solids, especially aggregates and other hard minerals requires highly robust and reliable conveyor equipment. Sinfimasa designs equipment based on product properties. Robust equipment The handling of bulk solids, especially aggregates and other hard minerals requires highly robust and reliable conveyor equipment. Its 100% tailor-made manufacturing is the most recommended in this sector to offer to the engineering companies the most suitable components and features for the user’s working conditions and ensure maximum performance and return on investment. Maximum reliability Total adaptation to customer needs means, not only maximum reliability conveyors to reduce facilities downtime, but also the maintenance costs by assembling top quality brands preferred by the user which are freely accessible in the market, as is the case of motor-reducers, bearings, or instrumentation (motion, temperature, deviations sensors). Proven technology Having proven experience and references, as well as a test bench for testing the behavior of the client’s material, will help the success in the design of the conveyor to be manufactured. At…

High grade purity despite impurities: Innovative complete plant with three operating modes safely filters recycled aluminium from difficult input material According to statistics from the German industrial credit bank AG (IKB), global production of primary aluminium increased by 3.1 per cent to 65.3 million tonnes in 2020. In addition, around 11.8 million tonnes of the light metal were recycled. Especially in the case aluminium scrap, grade purity plays a major role for subsequent processability. In order to be able to sell the purest material possible on to aluminium processing companies, and thus most profitably, an Austrian company needed new equipment for crushing and separating different input materials. The challenge: The aluminium dust and aluminium alloys with magnesium admixtures produced during the crushing process are highly flammable, so there is an acute risk of fire and explosion in the plant. To ensure the safety of the machines and the employees at all times, the company cooperated with Erdwich Zerkleinerungs-Systeme GmbH. The experienced company from Igling in Bavaria implements a special plant concept…

In order to be able to process flakes directly on injection molding machines, ENGEL uses the consistently high cleaning effect of the ERF350 high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger Flakes obtained from plastic waste by grinding can be processed directly in the injection molding process if any foreign substances are thoroughly removed from the melt. The associated technology was developed by injection molding machine manufacturer ENGEL, which chose a high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger, a manufacturer belonging to the Maag Group. This continuously ensures the required purity and thus enables consistent product quality at a high level of production efficiency. The elimination of a separate pelletizing step conserves material and reduces energy requirements and CO2 emissions, contributing to even greater sustainability in the recycling of plastics. The heart of the innovative, two-stage technology, which ENGEL will be presenting live for the first time at the K2022 trade fair, is a modular injection molding machine from the duo series, designed for the two-stage process. The ERF350 melt filter from Ettlinger, like the additional degassing…

Innovative degassing and decontamination technologies for demanding recycling applications: Gneuss presents new series of OMNI Recycling Machines Hall 9, Stand A22 GNEUSS EXTRUSION TECHNOLOGY New OMNI Recycling Machines for closed loop recycling of PET, PS and polyolefin post-consumer reclaim Gneuss’ MRS Extrusion Technology has proven itself as an alternative for the reprocessing of contaminated materials like polyester, polystyrene, polypropylene or polyethylenes. In combination with the highly efficient Gneuss Rotary Filtration Systems and optimized vacuum technology, customizable recycling lines tailor-made for a specific material can be engineered. Several Letters of Non Objection (LNOs) from the FDA, EFSA conformity and local approvals in Latin America confirm the decontamination efficiency of the technology. Samples of polypropylene tubs for food applications made with 30 % post consumer PP and PS sheet made from 30 % post consumer PS, processed on Gneuss OMNI Recycling Machines with MRS extruders and RSFgenius filtration systems, will be shown at K. OMNI Recycling Machine for post-consumer fiber or thermoform…
