SP600 - postprocessing of plastics

New technology improves the post-processing of plastics in  pre-treatment plants for organic waste

Smicon has development a new machine, the SP600. The SP600 is a screw press with a diameter of 600 mm. The first machine which can post process plastic streams from the SMIMO depackaging machines (120 or 160) even further by weight reduction. The Smicon SP600 is a robust system and the housing and chassis are made entirely of stainless steel. The SP600 separates the moisture from the packaging which results in a lighter packaging flow and a saving of up to 50% in disposal costs. In addition, the separation process ensures a higher yield of organic product by squeezing out the packaging.

The SP600 is suitable for a high capacity (30 m³ per hour) and a more controllable process due to the large diameter of the screw press.

The SP600 is an excellent machine with the following advantages:

• With the Ø 600 mm screw, the SP600 is perfect for big capacities (up to 30 m³ per hour). This also results in a longer time on which the product will be in the SP600 for cleaner product.
• The SP600 is developed to dewater on the inside and outside, for a fully efficient dewatering process.
• The included controls are designed to have an optimal loss in weight of the packaging and minimal wear of the machine. The controls are designed to adjust the power of the machine based on the input from the previous machine.
• The pneumatic units of the SP600 make sure that there is a constant and an evenly distributed pressure around the packaging for better results.
• More organic product for animal feed or biogas
• Up to 50 % reduction in disposal cost for your packaging
