Post-industrial recycling
Altero OPTIMA: Invest just in what you need /
For the recycling of optimal-condition or post-industrial plastic. With a more compact design, the Altero OPTIMA pelletising line produces a top-quality pellet that is fully reusable in injection, blowing or extrusion processes.
Optimised for processing /
• PE film (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE) or PP (BOPP, CPP, etc.).
• Regrinded Material.
• Pre-shredded rigid material.
• Material without ink.
• Dry material.
• Without contamination.
Typical applications /
• Waste from the manufacture of bags, agricultural film,
packaging, woven plastic bags, stretch wrap, etc.
• Edge trimming.
• Ground plastic waste from injection, blowing and extrusion machines.
• Locks or lumps from commissioning.
Usual materials /
Film without ink
Woven plastic (Raffia)
Shredded rigid plastic
Waste from injection/blowing processes
Optima LW /
Ideal solution for the recycling of Low-Weight post-industrial material (Low Weight) such as waste from the manufacture of bags, agricultural film, flexible packaging, woven plastic bags, stretch wrap, etc.
Its specific features are /
• High performance compactor. Conditions the material so that the extruder works at full capacity and reduces energy consumption. This is accomplished by cutting, mixing, heating, and drying the material.
• Loading belt with metal detector. Allows the extruder to be fed. Speed synchronised with the compactor load level.
• Roller feeder for film reels (optional).

Optima HW /
Ideal solution for the recycling of High-Weight post-industrial material (High Weight) such as locks or start-up lumps, waste from injection and extrusion processes, etc.
Its specific features are /
• Direct feeding of the extruder by hopper. The use of a compactor is not necessary since prior agglomeration of the material is not required. This reduces costs and energy consumption.
• Hopper and transport screw for feeding the main hopper (optional).

ALTERO OPTIMA HW and LW /
Compact design: In these applications, high plastification power is not required. For this reason compact screw designs (L/D 22 to 36) are used with the aim of minimising material degradation and reducing energy consumption.
Simple and intuitive operation thanks to the personalised user interface.
Infrared barrel heating to reduce energy consumption by 60% and the time to reach target temperature by 50%
Various filtering options depending on the level of contamination of the material to be processed.
Top brand components (Lenze, WEG, Siemens, ABB, Knodler, etc.).
Cooling of the barrel using thermal oil for precise and efficient temperature control.
Top brand components (Lenze, WEG, Siemens, ABB, Knodler, etc.).
Assisted starting process for greater comfort and safety.
Vacuum degassing for the elimination of gases and volatiles (optional). Required when the material contains some moisture or ink.

Benefits /
Top quality pellets fully reusable in injection and blowing processes. Ultra compact design that reduces material degradation due to the cutting effect of the screw while preserving the properties of the virgin material.
Minimum energy consumption thanks to the use of the latest generation motors, an infrared heating system and an ultra compact design.
Cost reduction. The optima model incorporates just the components you need.
Simple and intuitive. Fully visual user interface and assisted starting system.

According to experts, the forthcoming fourth industrial revolution and the concept of “Industry 4.0” will mark a before and after in aspects such as the monitoring of industrial activity, logistics, process optimisation, productivity monitoring, etc. All of this is possible thanks to digitisation, information exchange and Big Data management that ultimately allow for a higher level of automation.
The Optima machines have all the technological advances necessary to integrate into this ever closer environment. Specifically, they include a complete communication interface and a powerful information recording system that enable intercommunication with external computer systems such as ERP (Enterprise resource planning) systems. This, among other things, allows our customers to:
Dump relevant data about production into the company's computer system (ERP).
Automatically have a digital sheet with all relevant information on in progress or completed production.
Monitoring of maintenance activity of the machines for better traceability.
Recording all the programming carried out in a database to identify possible errors.
