RECYCLING AND RECOMPOUNDING | TECHNOLOGY
New lines expand recycling capabilities
Innovations in core recycling and recompounding extrusion lines, plus other key technologies, are on show at K2022. Mikell Knights discovers what’s new
The pace of innovation in plastics recycling technolo- gies appears to be increasing, with brand new recycling lines being launched into the market, along with enhancements to established systems. The latest recycling and compounding technology introductions incorporate designs to better handle low bulk density materials or highly contaminated plastic waste, improve devolatising, degassing or deodorising operations for high quality end prod- ucts, or process a wider range of materials with greater energy efficiency and lower CO2
emissions.
Other innovations let operators compound custom formulations with add-on technologies, provide a no-frills but efficient prefabricated recycling line from stock, or usher in new component technologies from filtration to feeders that significantly improve those tasks. Several companies are constructing dedicated recycling centres to test and develop new technolo- gies and processes that will bring previously discarded waste materials into circularity.

Austria-based Erema Group has been active over the past 18 months in the development of its wide-ranging product and business areas. New technology developments are on display, in demonstration or in discussion at the K2022 show in Dusseldorf, Germany this month. Umac is an Erema Group company which offers
previously owned recycling systems that is assesses and rebuilds. It is now expanding its business area with the launch of its first standardised, prefabricated recycling system produced as a stock machine. “If customers are looking for a recycling machine for standard applications that is available immedi- ately, we can now offer them a new product that represents excellent value for money, in addition to our range of previously owned equipment,” says Markus Stölnberger, Managing Director UMAC GmbH. The new ReadyMac line is suitable for standard post-consumer recycling applications involving PE,
