Recycling solutions in the packaging market
1. Greenline Concept
Energy saving concept da Hunkeler Systeme
The Greenline concept from Hunkeler Systeme AG saves costs and protects the environment. The energy consumption of extraction systems is significantly reduced and residual heat provides sufficient energy to air-condition production rooms. New and existing extraction systems are supported by the Greenline Concept. The Greenline Concept from Hunkeler Systeme AG saves a lot of energy. Whether it is a new extraction and compression system or a retrofit of existing technology, you will significantly reduce your annual operating costs. You will have amortised an investment in a short period of time. ***
The Greenline concept is based on four pillars:
Concept and architecture of extraction technology
ASA automatic switch-off
ESS energy-saving system
Waste heat recovery from an intake system

The economic efficiency of a waste management system in the carton packaging industry starts with the collection of production waste directly at the die-cutting machines. The shredding of complete print sheets and mock-ups is essential to ensure product protection. Tailor-made solutions for the packaging industry are an integral part of the production cycle and optimise the actual performance of the die-cutting equipment.

The IPEM compact dedusting module
For digital roll-to-roll printing systems effectively cleans the front and back of the paper strip of dust, allowing optimal print quality to be maintained.

The extraction system designed for hot-foil embossed foil waste is known for its flexibility and ability to be expanded. Production waste is an input for the system and at the same time positively supports production processes by improving performance. The vacuum system collects the waste and dust at the production site, transports it through a closed duct system to the disposal centre and delivers it, for example, in the form of compact bales. The dust-laden transport air is cleaned in the Jet-Filter and can be expelled outside or fed back into the production room, depending on customer requirements.

In the dynamic corrugated industry, production processes are supported by an automatic corrugated rejection system from Hunkeler Systeme. For the efficient disposal of multi-layer production waste, Hunkeler works together with upstream shredders to configure the entire system for maximum efficiency. Dust removal is of particular importance, as it is the decisive step in ensuring efficient production.

2. Metal and Aluminium
Aluminium, like glass and like steel, is one of the key materials when it comes to recycling, sustainability and the circular economy. It is a very valuable raw material because it is 100% and infinitely recyclable, so the management of production waste is important to enable its full recovery. The production waste suction system in the production of aluminium lids, coffee capsules and various containers for the food industry du HUNKELER SYSTEME impresses with its flexibility and expandability. Production waste is the input of the system, which at the same time positively supports the production process of the Rychiger, Optima or Syntegon machines. The vacuum system collects the waste online at the point of origin, shreds it and transports it through a closed pipe system to the disposal centre, delivering stackable, compact bales ready for recovery post-treatment

4. Dust-free production
Dust-free production increases product quality. Increasing production quality requirements demand an efficient dust removal process. HUNKELER SYSTEMS dust removal solutions offer higher product quality, less rejects, lower cleaning/maintenance costs, higher machine availability and less wear and tear. Our dust removal systems are equipped according to customer specifications and local conditions. The system can be installed inside the building or outside.

5. Hot-foil
Pressing and dust removal system
The extraction system designed for hot-foil embossed foil waste is known for its flexibility and ability to be expanded. Production waste is an input for the system and at the same time positively supports production processes by improving performance. The vacuum system collects the waste and dust at the production site, transports it through a closed duct system to the disposal centre and delivers it, for example, in the form of compact bales. The dust-laden transport air is cleaned in the Jet-Filter and can be expelled outside or fed back into the production room, depending on customer requirements.
6. Corrugated cardboard
Dust, edge trimmings and die-cutting waste removed from the reject system
In the dynamic corrugated industry, production processes are supported by an automatic corrugated rejection system from Hunkeler Systeme. For the efficient disposal of multi-layer production waste, Hunkeler works together with upstream shredders to configure the entire system for maximum efficiency. Dust removal is of particular importance, as it is the decisive step in ensuring efficient production.
Highly efficient modular solutions
Paper processing waste and dust are collected in-line at the collection point of the finishing machine. Afterwards, they are transported in a closed pipe system to the evacuation system. In many solutions, the output consists of compact, stacked bales. The dusty air is filtered in the jet filter system and the clean air can be transported to the production hall or outside the building. In both cases, both for recycling the air inside (which also optimises the air conditioning of the production rooms) and for sending the air outside, the air is purified according to current regulations.
Security Printing Domestic Banks
Paper printing institutions
The most important factor in the process of destroying security documents, securities and banknotes is adequate process security. Every single step in the process chain is monitored and reported using special software.
It starts from the operators’ access point, through the automatic filling process. Finally, it ends with the issuing of confetti or strips of the required security size.
Alternatively, the system supplies compact briquettes.n) ***
