Scrap Reclamation and Recycling

Scrap Reclamation from Plasmac

A range of powerful scrap reclamation solutions for plastics processors requiring effective post-industrial scrap and trim reclamation in order to maximise their competitive edge.

Scrap reclamation systems designed and manufactured by engineers with years of experience. Supported in the UK with efficient installation, training and after-sales back up.

Low shear, minimum process dwell time and the absolute minimal material degradation enables you to recycle all your scrap material into high-quality pellets, reducing your material costs.

The smallest footprint scrap reclamation machine for extruders on the market, freeing up valuable space for other applications.

These demonstrate the recycling systems working with different materials. We also showcase studies that detail the return on investment.

Principle of Operation

The waste material is directly fed onto the screw, with no prior size reduction required. Because of this little or no dust is produced, with the effect that a higher quality pellet is produced with the lowest level of gels possible.

Alpha

Utilising Plasmac’s patented Short Screw Technology which ensures:

Minimal power consumption
Low shear
Minimum process dwell time.
Absolute minimal material degradation.
Highest output / kW installed power in the market.
Extrusion design, no prior size reduction required.
Perfect for in-line trim recycling.
Will also process films, reels, injection moulding parts
Tailor your Alpha for every application
Available in air-cooled and water-cooled designs
Select from manual, continuous, backflush or full automatic screen-changers.
SY-View HMI Control frees up operators to run other plant operations

Omega Eco

Utilising Plasmac’s patented Short Screw Technology

PERFECT FOR INLINE OR OFFLINE RECYCLING
Proven technology for inline trim conveying applications with speeds of up to 250 m/min and outputs of up to 120 kg/h.
Inline machines running on highly filled CaCo3 PE, Bio-degradable and standard PE materials.
Inline machines available with air or water cooling.
Offline technology for Bio-degradable materials with vacuum degassing and water-cooled pelletizing technology.
Able to recycle both inline trims, reel scrap and loose materials simultaneously.

Epsilon

Based on the existing ‘Alpha’ pelletisers, detailed above. This new unit has an integral, single shaft, shredder positioned above the feed throat. This additional shredder can be useful for pre-size reduction of some types of feedstock, such as rigid polymers, skeletal waste, thicker trims, and film off-cuts and cut-outs. It is also a perfect solution for non-wovens loose waste, masks, and cut-out waste from bag and apron making machines.

The Epsilon range of machines is based around a dual-diameter screw and direct shredder feeding system.
Market-leading output per kilowatt of installed power (between 3.5 and 5.0 kg/kW)
Low shear, minimum process dwell time, and the absolute minimal material degradation
A small footprint, saving valuable floor space
