The many lives of plastic - dosing processes in recycling

  • To ensure cost-effective plastic production the right mixture of new material and returned goods is therefore decisive.

  • The control of the automatic scale is effected by SIMATIC S7-1200.

  • SIWAREX weighing modules can be freely programmed in connection with SIMATIC processes and built up modularly. All company-internal requirements can be adapted very easily as needed.

SITRANS FC430 guarantees the greatest accuracy in the denaturing of alcohol

  • Denaturing of alcohol is achieved by using additives, which must be continuously and exactly metered.

  • SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flowmeter measures mass flow of alcohol delivered, correct dosing of necessary denaturing additives and finished denatured alcohol.

  • SITRANS FC430 also measures mass flow rate, density and temperature of medium.

True colors: Cost-efficient carpet dyeing with Coriolis flow measurement

  • Lano Carpets in Harelbeke, Belgium, produces 20,000 m² of tufted carpet every day. To increase the flexibility of its machines and reduce costs, the company decided to stop manufacturing its dyes in batches and switch to a continuous process using an inline mixer that produces the right color instantly.

  • Control and supervision of the application is through a SIMATIC WinCC system, which translates the recipes sent by the ERP into precise dosages of coloring agents.

  • SITRANS FC410 Coriolis flowmeter installed to measure the volumes of the coloring agents pumped into the machine.
