Equipment development: elastomer separator

In recycling of plastics from electronic waste, automotive light shredder fractions (SLF), etc. it is important to obtain clean and directly recoverable plastic fractions. Elastomers contained in plastics, such as for example silicone rubber or rubber of different composition, can cause severe disturbance however. They are largely thermosetting materials and therefore no longer melt, this leading to loss of quality and deficiencies in processing of the plastics.   With the new hamos RSS elastomer separator, such undesired elastomers are separated out in a dry way. A highly concentrated elastomer fraction and a high quality practically elastomer-free are obtained. The equipment compliments the electrostatic and other separation technologies in an ideal way. The hamos RSS can, when desired, be delivered together with a complete material logistics system.
