We produce high-grade plastic recyclate
Separating rigid plastic packaging waste is the most significant application for Magnetic Density Separation. Our sorting process doubles the recovery rate of plastic waste. One process step sorts mixed plastic flakes into separate flows for PP, HDPE and PET. In addition, it does it at a lower cost and with higher accuracy than other technologies.
Making the difference
Magnetic Density Separation
Umincorp’s patented Magnetic Density Separation (MDS) uses strong magnets in combination with a unique ferro fluid that separates heterogeneous input flows based on the density of each individual particle. The magnetically responsive fluid works with the magnets to create a gradient with different densities at different heights in the fluid.
Particles flow through the density field, with light particles floating to the surface while heavier particles are suspended below at different depths according to their density. By setting splitters in the right positions, the different particle densities are separated producing pure materials in a single process.
MDS-rPP
Umincorp PP is typically used for non-food-grade injection moulding applications. Available in several colors.
MDS-rHDPE
Umincorp produces different grades of recycled HDPE for blow moulding and injection moulding. Available in several colors. These products are characterized by high molecular weight with easy colourability and good processing properties. They are typically used to make bottles and containers for personal care and household products as well as industrial liquids. They are also used for extruded items like pipes, profiles, and wire and cable jacketing. These plastics are not approved for food, pharmaceutical, medical, or portable water applications.
MDS-rPET
Umincorp PET is typically used for sheet, fibre, strapping band and packaging applications. Umincorp is recovering PET from trays, blisters and bottles.
MDS-rPET granules
Our innovative colour sorting and PET compounding plant in Rotterdam harbour produces PET granules according to customer requirements. The first food tray packaging-to-packaging based on Umincorp PET has been available in Albert Heijn supermarkets since February 2022 in corporation with Royal Hordijk.
