- Feeding of 2 intermediate hoppers from the external silo
- Pneumatic feeder
- Installation of a multi-product feeder
- Dosage & Mixing
- 2-component dispenser for inner and outer layers
- 3-component dispenser for the middle layer to create a UV barrier
- Recycled
- Carbon black
- Virgin
These two mixtures are then conveyed by flexible mechanical feeder to each blow-moulding hopper.
- Recycling
- A recycling line is installed to recover bottoms and collars by pneumatic transfer.
- A shredder sized to accept production is also in place.
- Neck dryer
- During the bottling process, a disinfectant is sprayed onto the bottles to ensure sterilization. As this product is aggressive to steel, it must be dried before being recycled in the crusher.
- TIM then designed and developed a "neck dryer", fed by pneumatic transfer.
> From the bottling machine, the necks are spread out on a grid belt and passed through a stream of hot air.
> Once dried, the necks are transferred to the crusher.
