Recovery of edge trims

Tecnova has introduced the Refil TTC system for recovery of edge trims from film extrusion plants. It offers a complete system in a compact size, allowing immediate recovery of material in line or from rolls.
The scrap is introduced into the hopper of the recovery plant with speed varying with that of the extrusion line, which may run as high as 100 metres per minute, or it can feed a side haul-off to be wound onto a roll. The granules are then sent to the extrusion line by a feeding fan.
The plant achieves hourly productivity of 40-45 kg and can handle such materials as PP, PE, LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, MDPE and EVA, as well as the principal biodegradable materials. With this system, the immediate recovery of edge trim from film production is economically advantageous and makes it possible to resolve problems associated with the management and reuse of scrap.
