Textile Recycling

Our designs include sorting, cutting and tearing machines, blending box and conveying systems, hard point removal, baling and dust and filtration management. This process transforms them into a valuable resource. This process reduces waste and supports the creation of high-quality recycled products that can be reintegrated into the manufacturing cycle and support the circular economy.

Textile Recycling

At OGTEC, we leverage years of expertise to deliver textile recycling solutions for companies dedicated to sustainable waste management. Our partnership with oversea’s companies allows us to utilise their knowledge and experience to deliver proven technology that has been processing textiles for over 50 years. We can process various textile waste streams, including discarded garments, fabric scraps, and other post-consumer and industrial textiles.

Textile Recycling Equipment

Optical Sorters

Utilising the best available NIR and camera technology with maintenance friendly design, our optical sorter machine identifies and sorts materials based on material type, composition and color to a high quality level of purity and recovery.

Rotary Cutters

The rotary cutters cut the textile material into smaller pieces which allows for improved processing of the upstream equipment.

Blending Box

Mixes the textile material to improve consistency and throughput of the material going to the next stages of processing.

Tearing Machine

Separates the fibres by tearing the textile material apart with a series of spiked rotating drums. Generally there will be a series of these machines in a line which enables the fibres to be separated from each other.

Hard Point Removal

As textile have buttons, zippers and other hard objects attached to them these items need to be removed from the textile stream. This is undertaken by a series of processes which include density separation, magnets and screening.

Balers

Balers compress and bundle the processed textile materials / fibre into compact bales, which makes handling, storage, and transportation more efficient. Baled textiles are also easier to manage and can be easily transported manufacturers for further processing.

Dust and Filtration Management

Containing and extracting the dust from each step of the process in an important process in the recycling of textile materials. The dust is captured at each machine and pneumatically transferred to a filtration system which removes the solid and dust particles. Spark detection and sprinkler system should also be included in the system to reduce the possibility of fire.
