Wittmann Smart Recycling Enhances Plastics Reprocessing with Ancillary System Integration

The growing worldwide circular economy has created a need for resource efficiencies throughout the injection moulding cell. Increasingly, the ancillary components of the cell – automation, temperature control, materials handling, granulation and other factors – need to be designed and coordinated so that they work as a system. And with Smart Recycling, the Wittmann Group is bringing its full system solution expertise into play. The product packages boost both efficiency and the quality standards of in-line recycling.

Every Smart Recycling package consists of a granulator, a mobile dryer and a dosing unit: All ancillary components are selected and coordinated to suit the individual requirements of the material, the application and the operational circumstances involved. The aim is to produce a top-quality regrind with the highest possible efficiency.

At the heart of every Smart Recycling solution is a Feedmax Clean material loader. This has been specially developed by Wittmann in order to meet the more and more stringent requirements of the circular economy.

During material conveyance, the Feedmax Clean reaches extremely high separation degrees of up to 80 per cent (of particles < 1000 µm), thus removing considerably more dust particles and fine parts from the granulate than comparable appliances on the market.

This ensures an extremely high consistency of quality for injection molding purposes. Thanks to thorough dedusting, recycled materials can also be used safely for qualitatively demanding applications. The first customers for the new sales concept, for example, are located in the demanding markets of the automotive industry.

The target group for Smart Recycling generally consists of all plastics processors practicing in-house recycling of sprue and scrap parts.
