Pallmann HydroFiner separates laminated plastics from paper packaging and labels on a large scale
11/16/2013
Zweibrücken, Germany (13 November 2013) - Large amounts of post-consumer laminated plastic packaging can be separated from adhesive labels quickly and efficiently with the HydroFiner from Pallmann. The company is one of the world's leading developers and suppliers of recycling technology and equipment. The HydroFiner made his debut on Pallmann's stand at K2013.
Legislation around the world sets strict criteria on disposal of packaging waste, and there is even discussion in some industrialized countries of new laws that would enforce waste handling within the region where it is created. Pallmann anticipates increasing demand for recycling plants to handle this waste. With its decades-long experience in recycling technology, the company is already in a strong position to meet needs for a wide range of recycling needs.
Now, with the introduction of the HydroFiner, Pallmann is offering a new solution for removing labels from laminated plastic for paper packaging that will facilitate recycling in high volumes. The HydroFiner uses hydro-mechanical action to remove sticky cellulose-based laminate from packaging, yielding high quality clean material for further processing.
Large amounts of packaging waste created along the supply chain are relatively clean, but less than simple to recycle because they include paper labels, often attached with strong adhesives. The traditional method of recycling such waste is to granulate it and reprocess it in an extruder. However, this requires a lot of melt filtration and frequent changes of melt filters. It may be possible to remove the labels by washing the packaging, but this most probably will require the use of hot water, which obviously consumes energy; the alternative use of solvents introduces another cost.
"We decided to develop the industrial equivalent of rather basic methods that are already used in developing countries, where large amounts of film waste are handled today," says Mr. Rolf Gren, Senior Executive VP PALLMANN Group.
"There, the labels are often removed by vigorously brushing them off manually. We wanted to mimic this process - and obviously improve on it - in a machine.
"This is what we have in the HydroFiner. Here, a large amount of waste is intensively rubbed between two surfaces, together with a small amount of water. The material rubs mostly against itself, rather than the metal surfaces of the machine, the labels and the glue are separated and removed, and the packaging is reduced to flakes."
The process, for which Pallmann has applied for a patent, is based on two discs - a rotor and a stator--with material being fed to the centre via an augur, and then moving to the outside through pairs of intermeshing teeth. The time the material is retained between the discs can be adjusted by changing the speed of the rotor and by adjusting the amount of water. The water is injected at three separate locations to provide increased precision, and is recycled back into the system after use. The HydroFiner is capable of throughputs of up to 1800 kg/hour of packaging waste.
The HydroFiner has a modular construction that enables it to fit into a 20- or 40-ft container for ease of transport and assembly.
Pallmann has already sold two HydroFiners, which generated lots of interest at K 2013. "Packaging waste recycling on an industrial scale can only succeed if processors have highly cost-effective equipment to work with," says Gren. "We believe the HydroFiner can be an important aid to improving their chances of success."

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
