Austrias CANDI Plastic Recycling (Sollenau; www.candi-plastic.com) has installed a third line from Starlinger (Vienna / Austria; www.starlinger.com), this time at its Romanian subsidiary, Calex. The model from Starlingerâs latest series of recycling lines ” a recoSTAR dynamic 105 C-VAC â” was installed and commissioned at the site in Comuna Grosi, Maramures, in July 2016. The line is used mainly for reprocessing post-consumer plastics and has an output of 450-650 kg/h, depending on the materialâs composition. The recycled articles are mostly PP and HDPE pipes as well as post-consumer LDPE films and large PP bags.Gheorghe Campan, managing director of CANDI Plastic Recycling, said the recoSTAR line can handle problem materials that require a powerful vacuum system such as BOPP, OPP, PLA and OPS, adding that the lineâs flexibility also enables it to process moist material.

The companys first Starlinger recycling line was installed in 2014, processing highly printed films and materials like PLA, BOPP and OPS as well as plastics with up to 10% aluminium or paper content.
