Pellenc St Wastes No Time In Showcasing The Best Tech At Rwm 2013
PELLENC Selective Technologies (PELLENC ST) of France, a manufacturer of optical-sorting machines for the recycling-and-waste industry, will showcase its latest solutions at the RWM trade show, to be held in Birmingham (England) from 10 to 12 September 2013. PELLENC ST, whose London office opened in 2011, has been expanding its operations in the UK and Ireland.
- (1888PressRelease) August 29, 2013 - PELLENC Selective Technologies (or PELLENC ST) designs, manufactures and markets optical-sorting machines for a wide variety of waste-sorting applications. The company, which opened an office in London in 2011, has been expanding its business in the UK and in the Republic of Ireland, where it has become a leading player in the industry. PELLENC ST will be an exhibitor at the RWM trade show in September of this year, in Birmingham (UK).
Operating since 2012, the Plastic Recycling Facility (PRF) of Veolia Rainham, in England, has been equipped with the latest-generation optical sorters in the Mistral Dual Vision range developed by PELLENC ST in order to sort 50,000 tonnes of waste 'containers' per annum. The optical sorters make it possible to carry out waste separation per material and per colour simultaneously.
The Material Recovery Facility (MRF) run by Scottish company Oran Environmental Solutions in Grangemouth (near Falkirk, in Scotland) is another example where PELLENC ST's equipment has been deployed successfully. Yet another example of classic MRF having benefited from PELLENC ST's technological input is the facility operated by Dublin-based Thorntons Recycling, in the Republic of Ireland, which has started up again, following a line upgrade at the beginning of 2013.
In other areas, such as the sorting of commercial and industrial (C&I) waste, PELLENC ST has shown itself to be equally active in the past few months. The company recently equipped the Retura Trondheim site, in central Norway, with the latest-generation machines in the Mistral line, among which is the Mistral Wood - an optical sorter making the recovery of wood possible in a single operation and resulting in the production of wood of very significant purity.
This was still impossible a few years ago, given the difficulty for systems based on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, as a technology, to distinguish wood from other fibrous materials: the latest generation of spectrometers (SPIN) developed by PELLENC ST, with integrated optics, changed all this. In England, specialist company Shanks Waste Management has also resorted to PELLENC ST's Mistral Wood technology at its Kettering site, in Northamptonshire.
For the sorting of films, thanks to the TurboSorter© developed by PELLENC ST, the company offers a unique advantage. The TurboSorter© consists of an enclosed system, which is placed above the optical sorter's high-speed conveyor. It enables for light products to remain perfectly stable on the conveyor belt thanks to a stream of air travelling at the same speed as that of the actual conveyor.
The TurboSorter© has proved to be a highly cost-effective solution, as it affords a gain to users of the system, both in terms of throughput and performance. PELLENC ST's detection technology, which is very advanced regarding the sorting of films, makes it possible to distinguish between high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
Another example of PELLENC ST's expertise in special applications is the fact its technology makes it possible to separate PET trays from PET bottles - a feature that is particularly relevant to plastic recyclers.
In the wake of growing demand for sorting increasingly complex materials, PELLENC ST has been extending its industrial range and has established itself as a leading player in innovative developments and applications in the British and Irish markets. PELLENC ST is working on innovative and recycling programmes with UK-based organisations such as WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) and RECOUP.
The French-based specialist company, thanks to the expertise of its R&D department and thanks to its industrial capabilities, is able to help clients meet today's requirements for more sorting and more recycling of waste products - and notably for new applications, such as the sorting of films as well as plastic containers and new multi-layered materials.
PELLENC ST has numerous references in the UK and worldwide on multiple recycling applications.
