How it Works

Biofabrik WASTX

The Biofabrik WASTX operation system transforms waste plastics such as multi-layer films into high quality, energetically usable products. One unit has the capability to process up to 1000kgs of such plastics per day.

PROCESS – How Does It Work?

​

1. The plastic waste must first be shredded so it can be consistently fed into the process.

​

2.  Once fed into the day silo, in which the material is temporarily stored, the system automatically draws the material for processing.

​

3.  A uniquely designed corkscrew conveyor transports the plastic waste into the reactor and breaks it down.

​

4.  In the reactor itself, the material is split at high temperatures.

​

5.  The pyrolysis process shortens the long hydrocarbon chains of the plastic and creates an oil vapour.

​

6.  This oil vapour flows into the subsequent condensation stages, where it becomes liquid again.

7.  The achieved products are simply stored in sealed containment and used locally and internationally.
