AIREC

Keeping the recycling line at its optimum operating point

AIREC® evaluates the sensor data of the entire line — from shredder and washing through to extrusion and pelletising — and keeps the process where quality and consumption are right.

AIREC principle: production data from web inspection, MFR tester, extruder and recycling line sensors are combined in plastPMS and analysed by AIRECAIREC®AI analysisplastPMSDisplay 1Production dataDisplay 2Production dataDisplay 3Production dataDisplay 4Production dataWeb inspectionMFR testerExtruderRecycling lineSensorsTemperature · speedRoughness · corona · thicknessAutomatic sampler

What AIREC® does for you

Entire line

From shredder to pelletising

Shredder, washing, extrusion and pelletising are treated as one chain rather than in isolation.

Sensors

All measured values in one place

Temperature, pressure, pH value, water treatment data and further variables are brought together.

Forecast

30 to 60 minutes ahead

The forecast horizon is long enough to intervene before quality drops off.

Quality

Gel count, opacity, haze

The quality of the recyclate is assessed via several parameters at once.

Maintenance

Predictive rather than reactive

Maintenance requirements can be derived from the process data before a standstill occurs.

Consumption

Energy and material

Energy input and raw material consumption are optimised as well, which affects the carbon footprint.

How AIREC® fits into your lines

Data source

plastPMS

AIREC® works on the data that plastPMS collects from the lines. External measuring devices — for example for MFI — can be integrated into plastPMS and are then available to AIREC® as well.

Operation

Your data remains yours

All data collected remains the property of the operator. Data protection and security take precedence over evaluation.
