PP twine tying system for Bollegraaf HBC balers -

Appingedam / Emmen (The Netherlands), September 2014

During the RWM show in the NEC, Birmingham, UK, both production companies of the Bollegraaf Group - Bollegraaf Recycling Machinery B.V. and Lubo Systems B.V. - together present an overview of their developments and innovations in hall 5, booth R30-S31. A completely new booth design is introduced, providing a clear overview over the wide range of recycling equipment, turnkey recycling installations and supporting services which Bollegraaf Recycling Solutions has to offer. News ranges from an innovative, angled version of the advanced Lubo Anti Wrapping StarScreen®, to a vertical needles system for tying with PP twine, and the semi mobile Lubo Vibro-Air Sort® .

Lubo ballistic Anti Wrapping StarScreen®

The innovative and patented Anti Wrapping StarScreen®, by Lubo Systems B.V., already combines the advantages of a trommel and traditional star screens by taking out the potential disadvantages of both systems; no more wrapping of film, tape or textile, and no more ‘sausage formation'' of materials. This new version of the AWS StarScreen can now be installed under an angle, adding the advantages of a ballistic separator to its already highly effective setup. This offers even more value for money as it can separate on fraction size and 2D and 3D materials .

Not only the rotation speed of its stars, but also its angle of inclination can easily be adjusted, to ensure high purity at high capacities. The Lubo Anti Wrapping StarScreen® is available with multiple shaft and star types, to meet a wide variety of screening requirements. The patented Lubo disc quick connect system allows fast change of shafts without dismounting the entire drive train. A visual of the new Lubo angled StarScreen can be seen at the stand. In combination with the anti wrapping technology, this makes the system very maintenance friendly. Its compact, modular construction enables easy integration in most existing installations.

The new PP twine tying system for Bollegraaf HBC balers is perfectly suited to bale RDF material. Bollegraaf offers this twine tying system in combination with their vertical needle station, since a vertical needle station produces more stable bales and has less chance of wire breakage, compared to horizontal needle stations. This unique system with 5x1 needles, moving vertically in a linear motion through the ram pulling twine around the bale, allows the needles to be positioned more closely to the ram. This results in less system pollution and less maintenance compared to traditional twine tying systems with needles pushing around the bale in a circular motion. Only A-quality materials and components are used in this twine tying system. This ensures the highest reliability and longest lifespan, for overall lower cost of operation.
