A smarter conveying solution for a complex sorting process
Novelplast processes over 20,000 tonnes of post-consumer PET per year in Ireland. But post-consumer material is inconsistent by nature. Varying contamination levels from batch to batch were causing filter blockages and disrupting extrusion lines.
Investing in a TOMRA optical sorting system helped address the quality challenge. But to make the system fully operational, Novelplast needed a conveying solution capable of handling a complex three-pass sorting process within their existing facility, under a 6.5-metre height limit, and at a throughput of one tonne per hour.
See how they solved it.
