With its proven experience in the design and construction of plants for the recycling and compounding of thermoplastic materials , Binova has recently achieved excellent commercial and technological results in the sector of ABS and PS scraps ( WEEE ) containing high percentages of pollutions . Binova installed in 2020 a first plant for a customer in France , which then decided to buy four more ; later also a new Italian costumer ( Stena Recycling ) bought two plants for the same purpose . This proves that more and more companies , having understood the convenience coming from the treatment of scraps internally , rather than reselling it to third parties , are interested in investing in plants of this type , also considering the very high quality results obtained from the use of the material in various market applications . The new trend of recyclers is in fact increasingly to consider scraps as a precious resource by offering the market a qualitatively impeccable final product . Our recycling and compounding line for ABS and PS is based on stateof-the-art components , managed by sophisticated software applications , using 100 % Made in Italy technology . The plant consists of only one extruder , with co-rotating twin-screw technology , able to guarantee excellent polymer mixing and high degassing of the raw material . Unlike a traditional single-screw technology plant , this type of extruder allows significant energy savings up to 30 %. It is also able to process material containing small percentages of different polymers . The extruder ’ s degassing systems extract any material formed during the process . In just one step and with minimal handling of the materials inside the factory , a double result is thus achieved , usually obtained through two steps : recycling and compounding . The product obtained is a homogeneous material of high quality that not only promotes an environmentally sustainable process , but also offers important application opportunities in the market .
