Thermoplastics ...

Virtually all thermoplastics, including PE, PP, PA, PS, PC, PET, ABS, EVA, PPS, bio-tech and materials with problematic structures (techni-cal plastics), can be gently recycled into granulate. In this regard, the control system of the S:GRAN offers mastery of difficult material recipes and processing parameters.

The heart of all the machines in the S:GRAN series is formed by the “cutter-feeder-extruder combination”. This allows three working processes to be completed in one:

Slow-running cutting blades shred any plastic waste.

The shredded material is transported to the extruder immediately by means of a feed screw.

Extrusion and, if required, degassing take place in the extruder.

This all occurs in a single operation, without the material leaving the machine, which is why the process bears the desi-gnation, “NGR one-step technology”.

WE TAKE CAREOF YOUR PLASTIC WASTE

Longevity through robustness

The solid cutter shaft has bearings on both sides, which prevents bending under extreme loads. As a consequence, long service life is ensured even at full performance and with the processing of problematic materials such as PA fibres. In addition, slow cutter shaft speeds secure long knife life.

Designed and built for long-term profitability

Robust design, high-grade mate-rials and top quality manufacturing in combination with the finest possible controls and proven electronics, guarantee a service life that extends far beyond the short amortisation period. It is then that NGR machines really pay off, as hundreds of operators on every continent can confirm.

AutomationThe automatic functions of the sys-tem are set to handle the plastics recipe to be processed on the clear NGR display. As a result, innumer-able functions are automatically regulated, e.g. conveyor belt start/stop, the material level in the feed hopper and the pusher movement (screen changer, granulation), etc. This guarantees constant high output in combination with optimum product quality. In addition, devia-tions can be linked to an alarm and manual control is also possible.

Simple maintenance and long operating periodsA high degree of process stability marginalises the influence of the operating personnel. Moreover, simple access to wear parts re-duces downtimes to a minimum.

QUALITY MACHINE HANDLING AMORTISATION OPTIONS

Simple degassing with two maintenance covers

Hydraulic press

Hot die granulation

The NGR recycling process merely requires a sufficient inflow of ma-terial. Hence the fact, that in order to operate, NGR machines need just one person to handle feeding. This creates enormous personnel savings and turns interim material handling into a thing of the past.

Simultaneous processing of material in diverse forms

The size and quantity of the charged material is only restricted by the hopper opening and not the process. Therefore, several differing material feeding systems can be employed simultaneously.

Following sudden plant halts (e.g. emergency stops), the machine can be immediately restarted without any problem with filled hopper and extruder screw.

The NGR design principle furnishes gentle material handling. Slow-running parts shred the material, which is fed directly to the extruder without losing the heat generated by friction during the cutting process. A protective melt is the consequence, which allows the attainment of high material quality without a tangible loss of physical characteristics.

In addition to high quality, the consistency of the regranulate allows it to be mixed homoge-nously with original material. Therefore, NGR is an indirect guarantor for uniform end product standards and the prevention of production rejects.

Recycling systems can havea major, negative effect onpolymer quality. Undesirable deviations such as changes inviscosity or granulate disco-louring can reduce both the possibilities for its utilisation and its value.

Due to their high process stability, throughput performance and low operating costs, NGR machines offer extremely short amortisation periods.

n The fact that interim material stor-age is no longer required and the small machine dimensions mean that valuable space can be saved in the production hall.

n NGRs one-step technology provide energy cost savings of up to 40 %*.The shredded plastic is immediately fed to the extrusion process and is therefore “hot”. This reduces the energy requirement for material melting.

n The investment, operating and maintenance costs for a pre-shredding system are no longer required.

n The extremely short material pro-cess path facilitates quick cleaning and material switches, as well as shorter down times.

n Low personnel, compressed air, water and spare part costs.

• The conveyor belt is the most universally employed type of material feeding, handling everything from start-up lumps to de-cored film rolls. Due to its large hopper cross-section, the S:GRAN can also be fed with large and heavy pieces of material. A detector provides a warning of any metallic foreign objects.

• The roller intake allows the processing of unwound film rolls.

• The air separator serves the continuous recycling of film edge trims as production back-up. This inline operation makes material handling superfluous and fully automates the NGR recycling machine. Further-more, no material storage is required.

Conveyor Stable design with high sidewalls and metal detector, e-drive, process controlled.

Roller intake for filmFeed hopper with electrically powered intake rolls, process controlled.

Air separator feeding Film edge trims can be carried to the S:GRAN using compressed air. The air separator, which is mounted above the feed opening, separates the transport air from the edge trims. Hydraulic press Is installed in the hopper. Foamed parts and light tubes are thus shredded with greater efficiency, process controlled. Additive dosing deviceIn the section between the shredder and the extruder intake, additives equal to up to 20 % of the material flow can be fed in (e.g. for the improvement of flow characteristics or material colouring), process controlled.

Simple degassing (V) Vacuum degassing consists of two openings, where melt degassing takes place using a water ring vacuum pump (drying).

Double degassing (VV)Enhanced vacuum degassing in addition to simple degassing. Suitable for extremely dirty and damp plastics.

Combined venting (AV)NGR offers combined venting consisting of both atmospheric and vacuum venting (AV type) for materials with a maximum of 10% surface moisture. As it is possible that such moisture levels can occur in pre-cut and washed flakes, a special system configuration (without a cutter) can be supplied on request.

Melt filter A high-quality, two-piston melt filter is offered as a standard feature for continuous operation. Therefore, a piston screen change is possible without switching off the process.

Backflush melt filters are recommended for badly soiled material.

GRANULATION SYSTEMS As a result of the modular design of the S:GRAN, various process controlled granulation systems can be utilised in line with the plastic to be processed. Hot die granulation (HD) is generally used for the majority of polyolefins.Strand granulation (SG) orunderwater granulation (UWG) are employed for PA, PET or other polymers and PP with a high melt flow index.

In addition, NGR also supplies the entire granulate transport equipment suchas blowers, piping, cyclones, etc.

• The conveyor belt is the most universally employed type of material feeding, handling everything from start-up lumps to de-cored film rolls. Due to its large hopper cross-section, the S:GRAN can also be fed with large and heavy pieces of material. A detector provides a warning of any metallic foreign objects.

• The roller intake allows the processing of unwound film rolls.

• The air separator serves the continuous recycling of film edge trims as production back-up. This inline operation makes material handling superfluous and fully automates the NGR recycling machine. Further-more, no material storage is required.

Air separator feeding Film edge trims can be carried to the S:GRAN using compressed air. The air separator, which is mounted above the feed opening, separates the transport air from the edge trims. Hydraulic press Is installed in the hopper. Foamed parts and light tubes are thus shredded with greater efficiency, process controlled. Additive dosing deviceIn the section between the shredder and the extruder intake, additives equal to up to 20 % of the material flow can be fed in (e.g. for the improvement of flow characteristics or material colouring), process controlled.

Simple degassing (V) Vacuum degassing consists of two openings, where melt degassing takes place using a water ring vacuum pump (drying).

Double degassing (VV)Enhanced vacuum degassing in addition to simple degassing. Suitable for extremely dirty and damp plastics.

Combined venting (AV)NGR offers combined venting consisting of both atmospheric and vacuum venting (AV type) for materials with a maximum of 10% surface moisture. As it is possible that such moisture levels can occur in pre-cut and washed flakes, a special system configuration (without a cutter) can be supplied on request.

Melt filter A high-quality, two-piston melt filter is offered as a standard feature for continuous operation. Therefore, a piston screen change is possible without switching off the process.

Backflush melt filters are recommended for badly soiled material.

GRANULATION SYSTEMS As a result of the modular design of the S:GRAN, various process controlled granulation systems can be utilised in line with the plastic to be processed. Hot die granulation (HD) is generally used for the majority of polyolefins.Strand granulation (SG) orunderwater granulation (UWG) are employed for PA, PET or other polymers and PP with a high melt flow index.

In addition, NGR also supplies the entire granulate transport equipment suchas blowers, piping, cyclones, etc.

Longevity through robustness

The solid cutter shaft has bearings on both sides, which prevents bending under extreme loads. As a consequence, long service life is ensured even at full performance and with the processing of problematic materials such as PA fibres. In addition, slow cutter shaft speeds secure long knife life.

Designed and built for long-term profitability

Robust design, high-grade mate-rials and top quality manufacturing in combination with the finest possible controls and proven electronics, guarantee a service life that extends far beyond the short amortisation period. It is then that NGR machines really pay off, as hundreds of operators on every continent can confirm.

AutomationThe automatic functions of the sys-tem are set to handle the plastics recipe to be processed on the clear NGR display. As a result, innumer-able functions are automatically regulated, e.g. conveyor belt start/stop, the material level in the feed hopper and the pusher movement (screen changer, granulation), etc. This guarantees constant high output in combination with optimum product quality. In addition, devia-tions can be linked to an alarm and manual control is also possible.

Simple maintenance and long operating periodsA high degree of process stability marginalises the influence of the operating personnel. Moreover, simple access to wear parts re-duces downtimes to a minimum.

The NGR recycling process merely requires a sufficient inflow of ma-terial. Hence the fact, that in order to operate, NGR machines need just one person to handle feeding. This creates enormous personnel savings and turns interim material handling into a thing of the past.

Simultaneous processing of material in diverse forms

The size and quantity of the charged material is only restricted by the hopper opening and not the process. Therefore, several differing material feeding systems can be employed simultaneously.

Following sudden plant halts (e.g. emergency stops), the machine can be immediately restarted without any problem with filled hopper and extruder screw.

The NGR design principle furnishes gentle material handling. Slow-running parts shred the material, which is fed directly to the extruder without losing the heat generated by friction during the cutting process. A protective melt is the consequence, which allows the attainment of high material quality without a tangible loss of physical characteristics.

In addition to high quality, the consistency of the regranulate allows it to be mixed homoge-nously with original material. Therefore, NGR is an indirect guarantor for uniform end product standards and the prevention of production rejects.

Recycling systems can havea major, negative effect onpolymer quality. Undesirable deviations such as changes inviscosity or granulate disco-louring can reduce both the possibilities for its utilisation and its value.

Thermoplastics ... Virtually all thermoplastics, including PE, PP, PA, PS, PC, PET, ABS, EVA, PPS, bio-tech and materials with problematic structures (techni-cal plastics), can be gently recycled into granulate. In this regard, the control system of the S:GRAN offers mastery of difficult material recipes and processing parameters.

... granulate output of 140 - 800 kg/h (300 - 1,760 lbs/h)

The heart of all the machines in the S:GRAN series is formed by the “cutter-feeder-extruder combination”. This allows three working processes to be completed in one:

Slow-running cutting blades shred any plastic waste.

The shredded material is transported to the extruder immediately by means of a feed screw.

Extrusion and, if required, degassing take place in the extruder.

This all occurs in a single operation, without the material leaving the machine, which is why the process bears the desi-gnation, “NGR one-step technology”.

SUITABLE FOR UNIVERSAL APPLICATIONS INGENIOUS DESIGN

A hydraulic pusher presses the material against the cutter shaft.

... in any formThe S:GRAN series with extruder diameters from 65 - 125 mm is equipped with separate e-drives for the cutter/feeder and the extruder. As a result, the S:GRAN is especially suitable for any form of plastic, irrespective of whether it is simple or difficult to shred.

On average, the industrial manu-facture of plastic products results in 2 - 20 % rejects. These can include start-up rejects, which are produced until the required product data such

as thickness, colour, shape and characteristics are attained, and

waste emanating from production changes or the process itself

(stamping waste, sprue or edge trims from blown film).
