62 PETplanet Insider Vol. 22 No. 03/21 www.petpla.net ABC Horizon set compressor: Up to 6,000m 3 /h The cylinders are horizontally opposed, with crankpins displaced by 180°, cancelling out the inertia loads. Horizon operates virtually without vibrations; this results in a longer life of mechanical parts as they do not transmit excessive force or produce fatigue on structural parts of the compres- sor’s 20 years machine life time. ABC states that there are no anti-vibration pads or special foundations required, at +2 kg/cm 2 . The compressor and all peripheral components are skid mounted. There is no premature wearing of valves, rings and gaskets. When unloaded, venting the intercool- ers is not required, meaning ef fi ciency increase and lower energy consumption. www.abc-compressors.com Improved recycling technology BoReTech focuses on the technology and equipment manufacturing of PET bottle recycling. In the year 2020, the company has made a series of improvements and enhancements in the recycling process and mechanical structure of the PET bottle recycling functional equipment. The important feature of the Heat-Shrinkage Label Scrapping Machine is that it has greatly improved by 10% on the label scrapping rate compared with previous models, the service life of spare parts is twice as long as before. Spare parts can be quickly disassembled and assembled. Bale Breaker (SA Series) has a de-baling capacity of 12 t/h and is good at de-baling high-density PET bottle balers which from 450 kg /m³ to 500 kg/m³. It is to detect pressure and adjust shaft speed automatically. The Hydro Washer is a multi-functional fl ake washing machine, which can be used for hot washing and cold washing. Its occu- pation of the area is small, around 3m 2 . The shaft and screen of the Horizontal Step Dryer are specially designed to be stepped. A rotating screen can be self-cleaning to prevent clogging. The gradual increasing diameter prevents sudden high centrifugal force create PET fi nes from fl akes. The material loss will be reduced to save the bene fi t of the user. Paddles are changeable. Weighing Packing Station (Double-positions) for PET fl akes and pellets can set the packing weight, automati- cally detect the fi lling weight then stop conveying materi- als, and automatically change directions for conveying to the other position. www.bo-re-tech.com PRODUCTS
