About the Xtractor
The Xtractor is Your Complete Full Beverage Destruction and Recycling Solution!
Sebright Products/Bright Technologies 23 years of experience in liquids/solids separation technology was used in the design of the Xtractor and optional components to insure a clean and robust design. Above all, the stainless steel construction of this equipment helps insure a long service life and appealing appearance when dealing with low pH liquids.
Designed to not only remove the liquid content from the package, the Xtractor is also designed to contain the liquid and crushes the packaging in a clean and controlled operation. In fact, the Xtractor and its accessories are designed to operate as a sealed unit and keep the liquid in the equipment effluent sumps and off from your floor.
Whether your interest is in repurposing the liquid or recycling of the package or both, the Xtractor is the right choice for moderate volumes of liquid products in containers ranging from 0.5 up to 4 liters. In fact, the Xtractor is able to achieve weight reduction of up to 93% and volume reduction of up to 90%, and process up to 10 cubic yards (7.5 M3) per hour of material1.
Additionally, the Xtractor can handle multiple packaging materials in the same machine. Change over from one package type to another merely requires verifying that all of the previous product has been cleared from the feed equipment and Xtractor and making sure the two products are separated at the discharge end and go into the appropriate receiving containers.
A number of discharge options available to meet your needs. It can discharge directly into a tote, cart or an optional discharge chute or conveyor may be used to put the material directly into a compactor, open top container or baler.
Optional Perforator
An optional container Perforator is recommended for plastic packaging applications to insure maximum liquid recovery. The dual perforating rollers can handle most plastic beverage containers from 0.5 – 4 liter sizes. The perforator does not shred containers so both aluminum cans and plastic containers can still be processed in one system. The Perforator features two direct drive gear motors as well as a stainless steel frame and perforating roller construction. Two sealed polycarbonate windows allow convenient monitoring of the perforator operation.
Feed Conveyors
Our optional feed conveyors take the guess work on how to load your material into the Xtractor. First of all, the conveyors feature a stainless steel frame, hopper and 40 gallon liquid collection pan, as well as, a dependable direct drive gear motor. Two standard loading hoppers allow for selection of 11 different equipment layout options. The spacious 1.4 cubic yard (1.0 M3) loading hopper can be loaded manually or with an optional hydraulic cart dumper. Most importantly, all system equipment is integrated into the Xtractor controls for seamless, automatic operation that needs minimum operator attention.
