INPUT MATERIAL - Strong contamination - Degree of contamination and moisture vary - Intensive odours: high and low volatile odour substances The challenge of post-consumer packaging (from the household sector, for example) Remove odours effectively A typical problem of household waste: it develops intense odours. These are caused on the one hand not only by contaminants adhering to the surface but also by so-called migrated odour substances. The latter are caused by the packaging absorbing the odour of the food, cosmetics or cleaning agents inside it. The substances which migrate like this...

INTAREMA® TVEplus® High volatile, low molecular odour substances are eliminated prior to extrusion and new odours are prevented from developing. HIGH VOLATILE ODOURS OUT PRECONDITIONING UNIT HOT AIR FLUSH UP TO 1 H MATERIAL RESIDENCE TIME 3 DEGASSING STEPS Odour reduction already at the beginning of the process: high volatile residues are eliminated The large-volume preconditioning unit ensures a long material residence time at high temperature. In combination with Air Flush technology – which flushes the plastic with a continuous, hot stream of air – and the accompanying degassing, this...

ODOUR REMOVAL OUTPUT STAGE 1 QUALITY PELLETS Perfectly filtered, homogenised and degassed – ideal for a multitude of applications. An additional bonus when using the continuous quality monitoring system QualityOn: only exactly specified pellets enter the ReFresher. INTAREMA® TVEplus

STAGE 2 ReFresher The remaining, low volatile, high molecular odour substances are removed from the pellets. ReFresher Thermal-physical cleaning process – without additives The ReFresher cleaning process eliminates odours caused by low volatile, high molecular substances. The technology keeps the pellets at the required temperature at which volatile materials can be discharged quickly and in depth. Particularly energy-saving: the ReFresher uses the system‘s own energy from the pellets which are preheated through the extrusion process. Thanks to the ideal, stable process preparation in the...
