Liquid waste worries over

The Cobalt Screw Separation System from Greenbank extracts liquid from a range of waste product such as drinks from cans, cream from cartons, or soaps from plastic packaging.

Aimed at customers who need to be certain of the safe destruction of branded products, the new equipment also drives down recycling costs.

"We found that in situations where waste has a value if it falls into the wrong hands, the only disposal methods available were destruction, incineration or separation," says Robin Evershed, national account manager. Benefits of the Greenbank system include the ability to reuse the extracted liquid in the production process, reduction of transport costs, reduced carbon footprint, possible recycling of separated packaging waste, reduced handling costs, improved secure disposal and inhouse control of the process.

The system has no fixed loading method and every machine is purpose-built for the required application.
