Extrusion International 4-2017

30 Extrusion International 4/2017 RECYCLING & COMPOUNDING designed for reprocessing film, fibers and mats was the focal point of the TecDay. During the event, post-industrial PP film scraps with different degrees of contamination were converted into a PP compound with a 30 per cent talc share in a 2-stage extru- sion process. The line is rated for filler contents of up to 80 per cent and a throughput range of up to 1,000 kg/h. The recycling/compounding line comprises an EREMA recycling extruder (COREMA 1108T), melt filter and melt pump, a Krauss- Maffei Berstorff ZE 60 R UTXi twin-screw extruder and a wa- ter-cooled die face pelletizing system. Technical lectures held by Inter- seroh Dienstleistungs GmbH, Borealis Polyolefine GmbH, Veo- lia Polymers NL B.V., EREMA Engi- neering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen GmbH and KraussMaffei Berstorff rounded off the TecDay. New test facilities “After the TecDay, the line can be used by EREMA and Krauss- Maffei Berstorff customers for tests performed under real pro- duction conditions,” says Ralf Dahl. “Our customers will not only benefit from the excellent performance of the extrusion line, but also from the extensive support offered by EREMA and KraussMaffei Berstorff in the field of process improvement, screw and machine development and the optimization of the entire production sequence.” KraussMaffei Berstorff www.kraussmaffei.com EREMA Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen Ges.m.b.H. www.erema.com Manfred Hackl, Managing Director of EREMA GmbH is deeply convinced that by 2025, we will have completed a decisive step forward towards a true circular flow economy The EdelweissCompounding technology offers forward integration for recycling companies and backward integration options for compounding companies enabling them to enter completely new markets,” reports Peter Roos, President of the Extrusion Technology Segment of KraussMaffei Group Robert Binder, Area Sales Manager of EREMA GmbH, introduced the guests to the production
