KRS Recycling Systems

K9+ SEPARATOR (Belt Conveyor System)

  • For color sorting and separation of impurities out of glass cullet
  • Applicable for container and flat glass recycling
  • Especially suitable for difficult sorting tasks with several separation stages (e.g. MRF glass recycling) or for extremely high quality requirements)

FEATURES

  • Improved sorting performance compared to free fall separators
    A better distribution of the cullet is achieved by the high-speed belt conveyor. The cullet has a precisely defined speed and flight curve between detection and separation unit. A jumping or rolling of the individual cullet is almost excluded. This leads to best possible sorting results even with extremely high contaminated input material such as MRF glass.
  • Serial arrangement of several separators
    By arranging several K9+ Separators in a row, a lower overall height and less steel construction is required. The direct and soft material transfer from one K9 Separator to the next saves additional feeders, belt conveyors and screening technology.
  • Highest detection accuracy even with fine glass
  • Precise separation
    High-speed magnetic valves with extremely precise and fast switching times and a long working life ensure a precise separation of colors and impurities.
  • Lowest glass loss
    Avoidance of false detection due to intelligent image processing algorithms.
  • Black glass detection
    The optional dual-sensor system C-C improves the detection of CSP and allows e.g. a differentiation between extremely dark cullet (e.g. black glass) and CSP. The option C-C is also used for CSP detection in the fine glass fraction and other difficult sorting tasks.
  • Plastic detection
    K9+ FLASH Separators can optionally be equipped with a NIR Sensor for the recognition of plastics. This also enables the detection and separation of heavy and transparent plastics such as acrylic glass and Makrolon®.
  • Suitable only for dry input material
    Due to the use of a high-speed conveyor belt and the high sorting precision, the cullet must be dry (<0,3% residual moisture).
  • Modular multi-sensor system
    All sensor systems for colors and impurities can optionally be integrated into a single K9+ FLASH Separator. All sensor systems can be retrofitted to the FLASH version.
    As entry level separator we offer the K9+ BASIC Separator. The K9+ BASIC Separator can only be equipped with the C, M and N sensor systems and cannot be upgraded.
  • Reduction of fine grain
    The drop height between individual K9+ Separators in a K9+ row is only approx. 20cm. As a result, any additional refraction of the cullet is reduced to an absolute minimum, even if several K9 Separators are installed in series.
  • Service-friendly design
    Maintenance of several separators on one level possible.
