16 Extrusion International 6/2017 INDUSTRY NEWS www. kpfilms.com AMUT GROUP @ Ecomondo AMUT GROUP confirms its presence at the upcoming Ecomo- ndo, the European hub completely dedicated to the Green Econ- omy, held in Rimini - Italy, in November. AMUT GROUP Recycling Division will present its state-of-the-art range of washing plants for the treatment of PET, HDPE and PP plas- tics and urban and industrial waste sorting equipment. The complex of the plants will bewell represented by two typical machines. TURBO WASHER - TW 800 model: This machine performs an in- tensive washing action and purifies the plastic material from in- organic and fine pollutants using centrifugal force. During the centrifugal process, dirty water, sand, paper fibers and soil flow through the basket holes, whereas flakes are retained. Available in different models, TW800 is the biggest one suitable to process up to 6000 kg/h of PET, 4000 kg/h of HDPE and 1500 kg/h of LDPE. BALLISTIC SEPARATOR - MPC MODEL: The MPC is a ballistic separator properly designed and developed to sort paper and cardboard. The inlet flow is divided into two different material streams, not only through the wave motion of paddles, but also through the holes with variable section, placed on their surface. Fractions of output material are the following: - Cardboard and material sized > A4 - De-inked paper sized < A4 The paper material < A4 passes through the holes of the ballistic separator paddles, while the flat cardboard > A4 is pushed for- ward. www.amutgroup.com Klöckner Pentaplast Group, a global supplier in the rigid, ther- moformand flexible filmmarket, introduced the company’s new- est kp i.center in Spain.
