K 2019: Lindner Washtech launches new hot-wash system for effective plastic recovery

摘要

RECYCLATES that are barely distinguishable from virgin material-that’s what plastics processing specialist Lindner had in mind when developing the new hot-wash system to be presented at the K 2019 in Dusseldorf.In addition to effective cleaning,the solution offers not only high but above all continuous output.Gone are the days when products made of recycled plastics were a well-intentioned but marginal phenomenon.Markets,and in particular big brands,have to react to the sustainability trend and are demanding ever-higher quality recyclates in ever-increasing quantities.To deliver this high quality,complex processing systems-and here,in particular,washing technology-are needed.One specific challenge is posed by undesirable materials stuck to post-commercial and post-consumer film as well as unpleasant odours.The more effectively these materials can be removed,the higher the quality and the potential revenue.
