recycling processes and technologies under actual production conditions – in Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim’s fully equipped test centres – before they invest. Herbold’s 800m2
facility in Meckesheim,
Germany, includes a complete washing line for cold and hot washing as well as many size reduc- tion solutions including shredders, granulators, pulverisers and plastic compactors for densifica- tion. In 2023, Coperion opened a recycling innovation centre in Weingarten, Germany with individually configurable recycling plants – allowing recyclate to be conveyed, fed, extruded, com- pounded, pelletised and deodorised.
Entire expertise At Fakuma last year, Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim showed their expertise in entire systems through virtual animation – including systems for recycling plastic. The processes involved can be experienced digitally with the aid of simulation. Rotors from Herbold Meckesheim granulators will be seen in various sizes and for many applica- tions. The cutting geometry is the main reason for the high efficiency the rotors, says the company. Along with individual components, Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim deliver entire systems for plastics recycling. From mechanical processing – shredding, washing, separating, drying and agglomerating of plastics – to bulk material handling as well as feeding and extrusion all the way to compounding and pelletising, such plants cover the entire plastics reclamation process chain. Customers can test a wide variety of plastic
Medical granulation CMG has launched a new series of small granula- tors that can be used in the medical industry. The new G17-MED series are several and all contribute to obtaining the highest degree of precision and cleanliness, regrind quality (homoge- neous particle dimensions and absence of dust), efficiency of operation. The new granulators are applicable to injection moulding and blow moulding – but in the ET1 or ET2 configuration are suitable for extrusion. The new series is designed to obtain homoge-
neous regrind shape and dimensions, along with little to no presence of dust. One benefit of the new line is the ability to produce regrind with very small dimensions – which has no adverse impact on the quality of the finished medical product. Small capacity systems, including injection moulding machines and extruders, are equipped with small diameter plastification screws that cannot process granules with dimensions exceeding those of virgin
