- HIGH EFFICIENCY Taking advantage of the heating principle made by IR lamps in a vacuum a lot of heat is granted to the polymer in a very small span, considerably shortening the process time; the reactor is designed to also minimize the heat dispersion, avoiding almost any kind of energy waste.
- TRIPLE FUNCTION Robyc can be set on three different temperature thresholds, performing three different functions on demand: a 180 °C the material is dried by extracting the water vapor, at 200 °C the contamination of now volatile compounds such as acetaldehyde is removed, and at 220 °C the material undergoes the process of Solid State Polycondensation (SSP) which improves its quality via intrinsic viscosity (IV).
- LONG-TERM STORAGE The high-insulation reactor is designed to preserve the high temperature, vacuum and low humidity conditions of the material for long time, an thus can also serve as a storage tank.
- CONTINUOUS OPERATION Robyc is designed to work in continuous operation, making it ideal for in-line integration. The various sizes from 50 L to 6000 L is able to cover all the throughput requests.
- COMPACT DESIGN The design aims to optimize the space by focusing on a horizontal direction, which minimizes the vertical dimension and allows an easier installation even in the shortest plants
Robyc
Continuous high-efficiency regrader
ROBYC is the new continuous high-efficiency regrader designed to dry, decontaminate and regrade polymers with low consumption, while also ensuring an effective storage for the material. Robyc aims to maximize the return on investment on recycled polymers.
The material conveyed in a typical loader is discharged inside a reactor, within which the simultaneous action of IR lamps to heat the material, a vacuum pump to suck the gases and a mixing shaft ensures an homogeneous process of both drying, decontamination and regrading of the polymer; the reactor itself also works as a special tank that preserves its conditions and quality for long time.
