Melt filters are a critical feature in plastics recycling systems because they remove impurities such as paper, cardboard, wood, rubber, metal, and even foreign polymers from the stream.

In order to produce high-quality pellets at the conclusion of the recycling process, the appropriate filtering technology should be selected depending on both the input materials and the performance requirements of the output pellets.

But have you observed how the plastic recycling business is progressively transitioning from manual melt filters to automatic melt filters ? Why ? Furthermore, how ?

What you will learn:

1) Plastic waste management and recycling industry developments
2) Plastic recycling systems for post-consumer and post-industrial materials
3) How automatic melt filter can enhance plastic recycling
4) The difference between automatic and manual melt filter
5) The types of materials that can be processed using the latest automatic melt filter
6) Success stories on how recycling systems work to meet customers’ requirements

K Show 2022: Focus on Circular Economy
Much has been said on how the plastic industry has embarked on a journey towards achieving a circular economy. At K 2022 in Dusseldorf, Germany, the biggest plastics exhibition will once again focus on innovations in both materials and processing systems to enhance plastic recycling, integrate recycled plastics into the production of new products and many other initiatives.

FIMIC exhibition at K 2022 is located in Hall 9, Booth No.: B35,  where almost all European recycling machines (shredding, washing, pressing, filtering) are situated. For more information about K 2022: Circular economy, click here.
