Debut on the Recycling & Compounding TecDay: The new two-stage EdelweissCompounding line with Erema recycling extruder "Corema"

Technical lectures held by Interseroh Dienstleistungs GmbH, Borealis Polyolefine GmbH, Veolia Polymers NL B.V., EREMA Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen GmbH and KraussMaffei Berstorff rounded off the TecDay.

World premiere: EdelweissCompounding line with EREMA recycling extruder
The EdelweissCompounding line with the EREMA recycling extruder 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 extrusion 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 KraussMaffei Berstorff twin-screw extruder of the EdelweissCompounding solution is designed to perfectly incorporate all additives and fillers required.

The recycling/compounding line comprises an EREMA recycling extruder (COEREMA® 1108T), melt filter and melt pump, a KraussMaffei Berstorff ZE 60 R UTXi twin-screw extruder and a water-cooled die face pelletizing system.

New test facilities
"After the TecDay, the line can be used by EREMA and KraussMaffei Berstorff customers for tests performed under real production 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."
