Abstract: A plant and a method for the recycling of plastics, preferably PET, including a switching device for switching between a first process line for a first production process for the production of a first recycling product, in particular pellets, and a second process line for a production process for the production of a second recycling product, in particular flakes, so as to render the recycling process more flexible.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an apparatus for cleaning bulk material, comprising a container for receiving the bulk material, a filling opening which is arranged in an upper region of the container, at least one stirring device which is arranged in the interior of the container and such that it can rotate with respect to the container, and at least one discharge device via which the bulk material can be removed from the container, wherein the discharge device is arranged below the filling opening. According to the embodiments of the invention, at least one feed is provided, via which a cleaning liquid can be introduced into the container, wherein the feed is arranged above the discharge device.

Abstract: A machine for treating containers, having a plurality of spray tubes which are oriented transversely to a distributor channel, and of which each is secured in a releasable manner, on at least one end, to a cutout of the distributor channel, the spray-tube end and the distributor channel have provided thereinbetween a bayonet lock which can be released by a partial rotary movement about an axis of rotation, essentially parallel to the spray-tube axis. The bayonet lock is provided with a seal and has locking elements which are in mutual engagement with one another on the distributor channel and on the spray-tube end.

Abstract: A device for discharging granular material, has a receptacle into which the granular material may be introduced, with a separation grid, which is disposed in the receptacle, and an intermediate plate, which is disposed beneath the separation grid. The intermediate plate is equipped with a through-opening for the granular material, and with an aperture, which is provided beneath the intermediate plate and through which the granular material may be removed from the receptacle. The intermediate plate is disposed to be rotatable relative to the separation grid and the separation grid is disposed to be stationary relative to the receptacle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for discharging granular material, with a receptacle (2) into which the granular material may be introduced, with a separation grid (4), which is disposed in the receptacle (2), and an intermediate plate (6), which is disposed beneath the separation grid (4), wherein the intermediate plate (6) is equipped with a through-opening (5) for the granular material, and with an aperture, which is provided beneath the intermediate plate (6) and through which the granular material may be removed from the receptacle (2). According to the invention, the intermediate plate (6) is disposed to be rotatable relative to the separation grid (4) and the separation grid (4) is disposed to be stationary relative to the receptacle (2).

Abstract: A method and device for cleaning and decontaminating contaminated plastics, such as, for example, RPET or similar polymers, which have been crushed to flakes, where an ionized gas flows around the flakes.
