OWL - Plastic flake analyzer
In plastic recycling, knowing your material is everything, yet analyzing plastic flakes is still often slow and incomplete, especially when black plastics are involved. With the Owl, Ad Rem introduces an automated system that analyzes plastic flakes quickly and accurately.
Back to Basics: Understanding Density in Shredder Residue Separation
Physics 101: Gravity is Your Employee.
Before we buy million-dollar sensors, we need to respect physics. Specific Gravity (SG) remains the most reliable way to make bulk cuts in recycling shredder residue.
The workhorse: why gravity separation still wins on operational efficiency
In an era of high-tech sensors and laser sorting, it is easy to view gravity separation as a "legacy" technology. However, for industries ranging from mineral processing to advanced metal recycling to plastics recycling, the "workhorse" remains the most cost-effective solution on the market.
While other technologies chase incremental purity gains with increasing energy bills, gravity separation relies on the most reliable, free energy source we have: physics.
