The equipment company Starlinger, based in Vienna, will introduce its recoSTAR recycling line at the upcoming international plastics showcase, NPE2015, March 23-27 in Orlando.
Starlinger says the machine concept is characterized by a very energy-efficient production process as well as a high degree of automation, which accounts for reliable and constant production, higher output and great flexibility with input materials.
Designed for recycling plastic scrap from industrial and postconsumer applications, recoSTAR lines are suited for lightweight, wet and hygroscopic materials. The SMART feeder optimally prepares the material and feeds it into the extruder. The dynamic automation package ensures the system is running at the ideal operating point, the company says. Consequently, higher output is achieved with lower energy consumption, and higher levels of humidity can be processed. The produced high-quality regranulate is suitable for a wide range of end use applications.
In addition to Starlinger recycling technology, the company's divisions for consumer bags, textile packaging and viscotec will present their latest technical products and innovations at NPE.
