Through the special rotor technology and a throughput capacity of up to 10,000 1l bottles per hour around 150 bottles can be emptied in one minute. Using a hopper full beverage containers or beverage containers with residual liquids can be inserted manually or automatically. A pendulum plate then trans- ports the material into the rotor, which pierces the bever- age containers. In this way, the bottles are emptied and pre-compressed. At this stage the beverage containers will be devalued and possible abuse is prevented. In the last step the liquids flow through a filter box and are efficiently drained. With the LiquiDrainer emptying works automatically and without any manpower. The disposal remains in-house and prevents faulty batches from getting into circulation. In addition, remarket- ing of liquids and compaction of beverage containers into bales or briquettes achieve high revenues. The Strautmann BrikPress compacts fully automatic recyclables such as cans, Tetra Brik and PET bottles. It compresses the collected accruing material into briquettes. The BrikPress can be integrated into the product running. For over 20 years BrikPress has been working for the beverage industry. Via conveyors or lift trucks, the press can be filled around the clock. With a throughput of up to 50,000bph, the material inside the press chamber is com- pressed with a pressing force of 380kN. The highly com- pacted briquettes are then pushed out through the channel systems automatically and can be stored in containers. With GPS the operator receives a message when the container is full, enabling the operator to dispose of it quickly and in timely fashion. The compact design of the BrikPress enables installation directly at source. Moreover no pretreatment of the material is necessary, the bottles and cans can be inserted directly with and without caps. Due to the strong compression of the briquettes a high sales rev- enues can be generated. www.strautmann-umwelt.de Strautmann Hall 6 | Booth 203 Procme Hall 7 | Booth 539
