Continuous High-Performance Filter with 50 % More Screen Surface Area

The Ereman Group’s subsidiaries will be presenting their innovations and customer services for the first time at a combined stand in Düsseldorf.

The Ereman Group’s subsidiaries – including Erema, Pure Loop, Umac, Kecycle and Plasmac will be presenting their innovations and customer services for the first time at a combined stand in Düsseldorf. Seven new recycling systems and components will be introduced that enable large systems with production capacities up to 6 t/h.

This is made possible by technological innovations in the plasticizing unit that were specially developed for high throughputs at low specific energy consumption as well as the new 406 laser filter with a 50 % larger screen surface area. With the new laser filter, the Quattro version achieves up to 9000 kg of filtered melt per hour.

Moreover, the Erema Group’s Chemarema has a series for the mechanical preparation of material for a chemical recycling process. Mechanical processes generally stand at the start of the process chain for chemical recycling to prepare input streams as well as to ensure reliable, continuous, and energy efficient material feeding. Chemarema denotes an extrusion technology that is adaptable to specific requirements and specially designed for downstream chemical processes.

For customers looking for readily available recycling systems for simple applications, the Umac subsidiary has a something new. Until now, the company specialized in the renovation and sale of second-hand systems. They are now expanding their field of business to include Readymac, a new standardized, prefabricated, stock-produced recycling solution based on Ermea TVE technology.

Pure Loop and Plasmac, the in-house recycling segment, finally round out the Group’s product portfolio.

In the outdoor area of the K trade fair, Erema will once again bring plastics recycling to life with live demonstrations. Different types of waste streams will be processed. The great variety of high-quality final applications for recyclate will be presented in the exhibit “products made of recyclate”.
