Colour sorting with SEA Pixel

SEA Pixel opto-electronic colour sorting equipment recognises particles with undesired colour or colour deviation and sorts these out entirely automatically. The SEA Pixel optical sorters enable maximum sorting efficiency and colour quality with minimum losses of good material.

In PVC window recycling colour sorting systems are mainly used for improving the whiteness of the PVC regrind. Besides producing white PVC fractions, the SEA Pixel can also be used to achieve coloured PVC fractions (e.g. brown coloured) with high purities.

SEA colour sorting systems offer the following advantages:

• Optical recognition of products differing in colour
• High separation efficiency
• Easy product change by means of simple program selection
• Low good material loss
• High throughput
• Low sorting costs

hamos supplies SEA colour sorting equipment for different throughputs up to 8,500 kg/h, with 4 to 155 channels, in different versions and ideally adapted to each application.

It is of course possible to make a separation trial in order to show you which quality improvements can be achieved through colour separation.

hamos WRS complete line for PVC window recycling

The hamos WRS recycling line has been designed specifically for economic and full-automatic recycling of PVC windows. Both PVC window profile off-cuts and used PVC windows can be processed.

Practically all undesired contaminating plastics like rubber seals, plasticized PVC and others are separated from shredded dust-free pieces of PVC windows with the hamos EKS electrostatic plastics separator. Other contamination that arises in window recycling, such as metals, wood, glass and minerals, are also separated out. Downline installation of a SEA PIXEL opto-electronic colour sorter enhances purity and/or improves the whiteness (brightness). PVC purities of over 99.995% can be achieved through combined use of both of these processes.

hamos WRS recycling plants offer the following advantages:

• Dry separation process
• PVC purities up to 99.995%
• Minimum loss of PVC
• Improvement in whiteness (brightness) of the product
• High throughput rates
• Separation irrespective of specific gravity
• Removal of additional non-plastic contamination such as wood, metal, glass, etc.
• Proven system combination
• Low staff and energy input
• Quick return on investment

Please get in contact with us if you are interested in a separation test in our technical lab. We will gladly show you how you can increase value with contamination-free PVC.

Metal detection with hamos all-metal separators

The HS, FFS and LCS series of all-metal electronic separators serve to detect individual metal contamination that occurs in free-flowing bulk materials and to remove it entirely automatically. Not only ferrous metals are recognised here, but also all non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel, etc.

Electronic all-metal separators protect products and machines from damage by metal contamination in a sure and reliable way.

hamos all-metal separators offer the following advantages:

• Protection of machines, tools, products
• Self-monitoring with diagnosis system
• Full automatic function
• Universal applications
• Integrated electronics
• Proven technology
• Easy assembly and operation
• Practically free of maintenance

hamos supplies all-metal separators for different throughputs, with different degrees of sensitivity and with different specifications. Aside from standard equipment, we also develop and produce specific customer and industry solutions. Ask us!

Metal separation with hamos KWS

hamos KWS electrostatic metal separators remove even smallest particles of ferrous and non-ferrous metal from post consumer PVC window regrind, roller shutters and other plastics. Beyond that the hamos KWS separates other conductive materials such as wood from the plastic regrind.

The electrostatic separation process of the hamos KWS offers the following advantages:

• Dry separation process
• High level of separation efficiency
• Optimal solution for fine metals
• Separation of other conductive materials (wood etc.)
• Low PVC loss
• Proven technology
• High throughputs
• Low staff and energy input
• Designed for fully automatic 3-shift operation

hamos supplies KWS electrostatic metal-plastic separators for throughputs of 200 kg/h to 1,800 kg/h and in different versions, optimally adapted to each application.

Please contact us if you are interested in a separation test in the hamos technical lab. We gladly will demonstrate to you which additional value can be gained with your PVC.

PVC window recycling with hamos EKS

hamos EKS electrostatic plastic separators are used for the separation of undesired contamination such as, for example rubber, flexible PVC and other plastics from PVC window regrinds. The hamos EKS can be used for processing of both shredded profile cut-offs and post consumer windows.

The hamos EKS converts, with a minimum of effort, contaminated PVC regrinds into valuable raw materials by using the triboelectric behaviour of the individual plastics. Due to its very high purity the recyclate can be re-used for the production of high grade PVC window profiles.

The hamos EKS electrostatic separation process offers the following advantages:

• Dry separation process
• Very high product purities
• Separation independent of specific gravity or colour
• High throughputs
• Low loss of good material
• Quick return on investment
• Proven technology
• Low staff and energy input
• Designed for fully automatic 3-shift operation

hamos supplies electrostatic plastics separators hamos EKS for throughputs of 750 kg/h up to more than 3,000 kg/h and in different versions, optimally adapted to each application.

Please contact us if you are interested in a separation test in the hamos technical lab. We gladly will demonstrate to you how your PVC will increase the value.
