Glass recycling with Binder+Co. Maximum output in waste glass processing

PRECISE CULLET SORTING – FREE OF IMPURITIES

Glass is a unique raw material. We process it.

The recycling of cullet is essential for the production of new glass for environmental, economic, energy and resource-saving reasons. The main requirements for processing plants are the highest possible end product quality and the lowest possible glass loss.

The aim is to obtain precisely color-sorted cullets that are free from both transparent contaminants such as plastic films, glass ceramics, and leaded glass, as well as non-transparent impurities like metals, ceramics, stones, or porcelain."

The Applications in Glass Recycling

Container glass
Flat glass
Domestic and commercial waste
Incineration slag
C&D WASTE
Compost

the Tasks

+ Collection of the purest cullet

for direct use in the furnace

+ Color sorting

+ Separation of contaminants

Ceramics, stones, porcelain, glass ceramics, lead glass, organic impurities, plastics, metals

+ Recovery of recyclable materials

Turnkey plants for glass recycling. Everything from a single source.

With our wide-ranging product portfolio, we offer our customers optimal processing of their cullet.

More than three decades of experience in the development of individual machines and process engineering expertise in glass recycling make us the leading expert at your side.

We are your full-service provider for customized solutions in glass recycling. From the initial idea all the way through to ongoing operation, we always have a suitable concept:

  • Guidance with the concept and design
  • Planning of individual plants
  • Production, delivery, and installation of the entire plant
  • Commissioning of machines and plants, as well as training

Waste glass processing plants

Prescreening with bar screens

Cube-shaped parts and whole bottles are separated from the product flow and fed to the crushing stage. The undersize particles are passed on for further pre-processing.

Light material separation with Breezer

Light materials such as plastics or organics are removed from the glass in the BREEZER organic separator via air flow. An excessive amount of organics or plastics has a negative effect on the sorting process.

Metal separation

Magnetic ferrous parts are removed from the product stream using an overband magnet. An induction separator separates the non-ferrous metals from the glass. The metals recovered this way make up a profitable by-product of a glass processing plant.

Crushing

The roller crusher is used to crush whole bottles, bottle bases and bottle necks. The crushing curve of the roller crusher is ideal for the subsequent processing steps and sorting stages.

Screening

Screening the product stream into different particle sizes is a key factor for efficient sorting. The BIVITEC screening machine ensures reliable classification of the cullet.

Learn more

Drying with DRYON

Cullet and organic parts are dried using fluidized bed drying, making it easier to remove the dried organics from the product stream. This process makes sorting easier and impurities are reliably removed.

LEARN MORE

Long parts separator

The long parts separator ensures the removal of long fragments such as toothbrushes, ballpoint pens, cable ties and cutlery. As a result, the load on the subsequent sorting stage is reduced

Sorting with CLARITY:

The sorting stage is the centerpiece of every glass processing plant. CLARITY separates the glass cullet according to color, removes impurities such as CSP, glass ceramics and lead glass and delivers excellent results.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Dedusting

The dedusting system with cyclone ensures clean air in the processing plants. Dust and organic particles are removed. The dedusting installation significantly increases the service life of the glass recycling plant.
