Integrated Recycling Lines Sort, De-label, and Wash
Amut will present recycling and extrusion technologies at K Show 2022
Amut of Italy will present its new recycling and extrusion technologies in a series of immersive tunnels at K 2022.
Amut’s integrated recycling line solutions include sorting, de-labeling, and washing. The company’s patented technology allows dry removal of full body shrink labels from containers with 95% efficiency. Capacity ranges from 2700 to 13,000 lb/hr. These lines are designed for processing either PE film or bottles/containers made from PET, HDPE, or PP. They take contaminated waste to high purity flakes while promising low operational costs along with energy and water savings.
On the extrusion side, Amut’s rPET notes that its lines process flakes from post-consumer PET bottles into food-grade foil for thermoforming. They can be configured for 1 to 5 layers, thickness of 6 to 80 mil and width of 3 to 6.5 ft. Output is around 3000 lb/hr.
Amut will also highlight its extrusion lines for waterproofing membranes, capable of creating a 3-layer membrane in a single-step coextrusion process, and its cast lines, which feature an advanced winding system.
