Installed a new MID approved and certified weighing system that meets COREPLA requirements
Italproget has successfully completed the installation of a MID approved and certified weighing system that meets the requirements established by COREPLA, the National Consortium for the Collection, Recycling and Recovery of Plastic Packaging.
The system allows continuous dynamic weighing. It is installed on a conveyor belt that, when exiting the SSF COREPLA system, transports plastic waste (plasmix) and directly feeds the adjacent waste fuel production line.
The weighing system chosen for the application has the function of totaliser and automatic process controller in all cases where very high precision is required, better or equal to ±1%. It provides the essential information that makes it possible to efficiently monitor production levels. It is characterised by: mechanical strength; optimal operation even in difficult environmental conditions; structure without pins and joints, for a smaller margin of error; absence of moving components or those subject to wear, to minimise potential maintenance problems; compact design for greater ease of installation; structure designed to prevent the accumulation of material responsible for measurement errors; adaptability to belts of any width. The weighing system was found to be compliant following multiple tests carried out on: tolerance; sensitivity; durability; reliability; suitability; protection from alteration; clarity of information and indication of the result; etc.
The objective achieved is to guarantee a high level of measurement protection so that the entities involved in the recycling process can consider the measurement result reliable. This certification guarantees the correctness and reliability of weighing operations.
