Reifenhäuser’s new WPC profile design, Reiwood, can be made very economically
“The screw basically takes what it needs,” said Michael Heitzinger, chief technology officer at Erema. “The extruder always has the ideal filling level and is never overfilled, which makes it much better to regulate.” The new Smart Start concept allows many central
process steps to run completely automatically. Staff at the machine can operate it very easily by pressing just a few buttons – without having to think about the operating language, because it is based on a few clear, easy-to-understand symbols. A further technical innovation is the EcoSave
technology (fitted as standard) which enables users to reduce energy consumption by 10%, cut CO2
emissions
and lower production costs. The efficient direct drive on the Intarema extruder screw can boost extruder efficiency by around 3%, while a practical energy display gives a constant overview of energy consumption. “Besides extremely easy operation, a stable and
sensitive recycling process is essential to ensure recycling rates of 100 % high-quality recyclate in virgin material grade, particularly when processing clean in-house waste from production,” said Heitzinger.
Flexible shredders Weima recently revealed its latest generation of plastic shredders. The WLK 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 are specially developed for all kinds of plastic material, and have high output and flexibility in operation. In order to combine easy handling with high
throughput, the shredders are equipped with screens that swivel downwards. The WLK 1000 and 2000 screens can be lowered hydraulically. This ensures easier access, especially when it comes to screen change or maintenance work.
40 PIPE & PROFILE EXTRUSION | March/April 2014
All shredders in the new WLK series also include a
log-spacer. The innovative design of the hopper in connection with larger filling volume allows the user to shred very big parts without bridging effects. Another highlight is the segmented floor guidance.
The ram pushing the input material to the rotor is guided more precisely – which is ideal for very thin material. At the same time, jamming is prevented. Weima shredders can be equipped with a V- or
F-rotor, depending on the specific application. While the rotor diameter of the WLK 800 is 252mm, the WLK 1000 and 2000 shredders have a rotor diameter of 368mm. Next Generation Recycling (NGR) will highlight its
Chinese expansion at the show: in the first half of this year, it will open a new customer care centre in China, to continue its long-standing presence in Asia. “With 25% of the world’s used plastic, the Chinese
market is the ideal place for further expansion,” said the company. “Additionally, our strengthened presence in Asia reflects the fact that 40% of the world’s plastic production is used in China.” The new location, Taicang, is close to Shanghai . Two
NGR systems will be available for client testing and demos in the customer care centre. An Austrian engineer and Austrian director will be permanently on-site and will train the Chinese employees in technology and sales. The long cooperation with the Chinese sales partner Jebsen will continue. In China, around half of plastic consumption is met by imports. This includes used plastic that is recycled on a large scale. NGR’s new company in China aims to serve both industrial plastic processors and end-of-life plastics recyclers. “This commitment to the Chinese market fits
perfectly into the expansion of NGR. In 2010, we opened
