FerSol® voor polymer recycling

Plastic recycling plants face the challenge of achieving a stable and consistent washing process within a chain full of variables. Different types of plastics, fluctuating contamination levels and odour issues make the washing process complex and difficult to control. At the same time, the use of large volumes of chemicals, high washing temperatures and intensive handling result in high costs, a significant environmental impact and a less safe working environment.

The pressure to improve the quality of recycled material while simultaneously reducing energy, water and chemical consumption calls for more robust and sustainable solutions in the washing stage of the recycling process.

The benefits of FerSol®

FerSol® optimises the washing process in plastic recycling by effectively reducing contamination and odour. Cleaning at lower temperatures decreases energy consumption and makes the process more stable. At the same time, it improves the quality and consistency of the recycled material.

Reduce harmful chemicals

FerSol® replaces traditional washing chemicals such as soap, caustic soda and antifoam, significantly reducing the use of harmful substances. At the same time, washing performance is maintained or even improved.

Improve overall washing performance

FerSol® enhances the cleaning of plastic flakes by more effectively removing contamination and odour. This results in cleaner flakes with more consistent quality and improved colour. As a result, you increase the value of your recycled material and the reliability of your process.

Reduce handling requirements

FerSol® simplifies the washing process by reducing chemical changes and the need for adjustments during operation. This lowers handling requirements for operators and ensures a more stable process with fewer interventions.

Lower washing temperatures

FerSol® delivers hygienic cleaning at lower washing temperatures than traditional processes. This means less energy is required to achieve the same or even better results, leading to significant energy savings.

Reduce your environmental footprint

FerSol® reduces energy consumption by enabling effective cleaning at lower temperatures. By using fewer chemicals and less water, the overall environmental impact of the washing process is reduced. This allows you to operate more sustainably without compromising on quality.

Improve the working environment

FerSol® reduces odour formation and limits the use of aggressive chemicals in the washing process. This results in less exposure, reduced handling and a more comfortable working environment on the shop floor. As a result, you enhance safety and comfort for your employees.

“We are extremely enthusiastic about the results we are achieving with FerSol® in our washing process. We have reduced our chemical and cleaning agent consumption from 61 litres per hour to just 7.5 litres. This means significantly less handling. At the same time, we are meeting our sustainability targets, as we now work with a chemical that is 100% green.”

Curious what FerSol® can do for your process?

A trial gives you immediate insight into FerSol®’s impact on sustainability, chemical consumption and water savings. Our specialists guide you step by step.
1. Understanding your process: Together, we review your current situation and discuss the challenges you face in water treatment or cleaning.
2. Sending a water sample: You send us a sample of your process or wastewater. This allows us to assess in the lab what FerSol® could deliver for your application.
3. Analysis and proposal: Our laboratory specialists run tests and share the results in a clear report, including a concrete proposal for implementation.
4. Implementation and support: If FerSol® proves suitable, we help you integrate it smoothly into your existing process and stay involved as the first results come in.
