At Fakuma, plant manufacturer Getecha will be showcasing size reduction and recycling solutions for plastics processors and recycling companies. Process automation also plays an important role here.
On the basis of a broadly diversified range of expertise, we realise Getecha Energy-efficient, ergonomic and high-performance shredding and circulation solutions for use in almost all areas of modern plastics processing. In addition to manufacturers of injection moulded parts and extrusion products, users of thermoforming and blow moulding technology as well as processors of post-consumer waste will also have the opportunity to present their products and services at this year's Fakuma get a picture of it.
The company shows how Shredding, processing and recycling plastic waste close to production, sometimes in a highly automated and resource-saving manner can. To this end, it not only presents five individually configurable grinders from its well-known RotoSchneider generation, but also provides information about Design measures to reduce energy consumption as well as the possibilities of automated integration and customisation of its systems.
The company will be presenting several central granulators as a solution for the continuous throughput of medium to large volumes of plastic waste and residues from production. The RS 45090, for example, is designed for shredding capacities of up to 1,000 kg/h. Its size alone makes it the visual centrepiece of the company's trade fair stand. Depending on the configuration, this Hopper mill for shredding missing parts as well as plates and pipes. It also has several bypass hoppers and a 45 kW motor that drives five rows of mounted rotor blades (rotor diameter 450 mm) against two stator blades. The The standard screen hole diameter is 8.0 mm, but can be adapted to different material properties. become.
The frontal feed hopper of the RS 45090 can be loaded manually or by Getecha equipped with a feed conveyor as part of the process automation. For ergonomic reasons, the hopper and the entire mill body are Double-walled with integrated sound insulation. Thanks to the drive being moved upwards and into the housing, the grinder is compact despite its size and requires relatively little floor space. The fact that the opening mechanism for the hopper and the sieve carriage, which can be extended on rollers, can be operated hydraulically simplifies cleaning and maintenance of the grinder.
