New dimensions in in-house recycling of PE edge trim

21-Mar-14

A new model designed especially for the recycling of PE edge trim – a fully automatic recycling system which ensures material-friendly processing through a short extruder, i.e. minimal thermomechanical stress and excellent material properties as a result, is being unveiled. The new INTAREMA® K system- the successor of the KAG system is being introduced by EREMA, the global market leader in plastic recycling systems, will be presenting the for the first time at Interpack 2014. The model 504 K promises a further boost in efficiency. The new plant generation INTAREMA® was launched in 2013, with which the T and TE systems (for PE, PE-LD, PP, BOPA, PA/PET, PLA etc. edge trim) and TVEplus® (heavily printed materials and strongly contaminated post-consumer waste) have already experienced an enormous boost in efficiency. The plant system known previously as KAG now also features the innovations of the INTAREMA® generation. The result is the fully automatic INTAREMA® K recycling system – with the new, patented core technology Counter Current, the energy-saving ecoSAVE® system including direct drive and, for the first time, a touchscreen, the new Smart Start System for even more user-friendliness through a high degree of automation. INTAREMA® K is designed above all for the processing of edge trim and enables an up to 100% return to the production process. The proven EREMA cutter/compactor/extruder combination has always ensured the efficient processing of plastic production waste – especially in the packaging industry which, in particular, has very high quality requirements for re-usable pellets. With the innovations of the new INTAREMA® plant generation, such as the Counter Current system, EREMA now sets another milestone in the field of in-house and industrial waste recycling.
