Strautmann Umwelttechnik GmbH, known for the manufacture of baling presses and briquette presses, will be presenting various waste disposal solutions at drinktec 2017.
The focus is on the emptying, devaluation and compaction of beverage containers such as PET bottles, Tetrapaks® and beverage cans. With the LiquiDrainer®, a dehydrator, full containers are emptied and devalued. To do this, the material of the beverage containers is perforated (not shredded) so that the liquid can run out. The rotor therefore has no wear and tear. The residual liquids run through a coarse filter box and can then be sold on to biogas plants, for example. Thanks to the separation of liquid and solid components, no particles enter the waste water.
The material is then compacted using baling or briquetting presses. Fully automatic compaction of the beverage containers into highly compacted briquettes and bales saves space and costs. The recyclable materials can be marketed at high prices.
Example from practice
The Hansa-Heemann AG is a manufacturer of non-alcoholic soft drinks with production sites in Trappenkamp, Lehnin, Löhne and Bruchsal. In Löhne, around 400 million bottles are filled annually in three-shift operation. Before Hansa-Heemann decided in favour of Strautmann Umwelttechnik for PET bottle disposal, the company had already been compacting film and cardboard with Strautmann presses for over seven years.
„The production of mineral water and sweet drinks produces residues that need to be disposed of economically and ecologically. Our PET bottles are now recycled with the LiquiDrainer® and BaleTainer® emptied and compacted economically by Strautmann,“ explains Thomas Hartsieker, Plant Manager at Hansa-Heemann AG.
