EREMA to present new RegrindPro at Fakuma 2015

From 13 to 17 October 2015, the unique benefits of RegrindPro at the EREMA booth A6-6314 in hall A6 will be highlighted along with the new upcycling service.

Recycling regrind as an alternative to virgin material has enormous potential for processors of plastics. With raw material prices increasing all the time, the demand for the processing of regrind to make high-quality recycled pellets is growing more and more, especially in the thick-walled packaging, electronics (WEEE) and automotive sectors. The thick-walled input material (HDPE, PP, ABS, PS, etc.), however, requires a specific treatment process which is designed to be able to handle mixed fractions with varying compositions, high bulk density and moisture, plus strong and varying contaminants through a very wide variety of impurities. The recycled pellets also have to meet exacting quality standards to be able to make end products from them with top surface quality and particularly high recyclate content.

Clemens Kitzberger, EREMA Business Development Manager Post Consumer, explained that recyclers who use recycled pellets from regrind have to be able to rely on their end products having top surface quality. With the new product INTAREMA RegrindPro EREMA has succeeded in developing a plant system which is designed exactly for thick-walled materials. Thanks to extremely gentle processing and highly efficient filtration, the new system enables the recycling of regrind into application-oriented secondary raw materials.

Another highlight at the booth is COREMA a new product line which brings together for the first time all the benefits of recycling and compounding in a single processing step. COREMA enables the production of exactly specified raw materials based on recyclates, according to COREMA Product Manager Robert Obermayr. EREMA will also announce a new upcycling service at Fakuma.
