MATERIALS / RECYCLING PETplanet Insider Vol. 24 No. 01+02/23 www.petpla.net 35 Futurapet thus achieves minimum material loss at high throughput rates. Fine sorting of PET flakes After pre-sorting, the clear PET bottles are shredded. Washing, drying, and air separation processes follow. Finally, fine sorting of the flakes is carried out by the Sesotec Flake Purifier+ sorting systems, which are equipped with three sensors. False colours, false polymer types, and metal contaminants are reliably and precisely separated from the PET flakes. An additional sorting track enables further purification of the rejected material, allowing the maximum amount of high-quality PET to be recovered. Material analysis system Futurapet is committed to ensuring that only high quality rPET leaves the plant. Each BigBag content is checked in the in-house laboratory by random sample analysis. For this purpose, Futurapet uses the Flake Scan material analysis system from Sesotec. It enables efficient and precise quality analysis of the plastic flakes and quickly delivers reliable and reproducible results of the material sample, says Sesotec. This means that a decision on the usability of the material can be made within a very short time. The integrated sensors analyse material samples according to plastic types, colours and metal contaminants. www.sesotec.com Efficient fine sorting of PET flakes by Flake Purifier+ www.prseventeurope.com Platinum Sponsor Silver Sponsors Organised by PRSE 2023 will feature: TWO halls | TWO conference theatres NEW Chemical Recycling feature Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2023 Over 275 exhibitors Register for your FREE visitor entry badge at www.prseventeurope.com
