Plastic recycling equipment manufacturer EREMA has upgraded its plastics recycling solution, the INTAREMA system in response to the increasing demand for post-consumer recycled pellets in sensitive applications such as food and cosmetics packaging.<\/p>\n
The new INTAREMA system is capable of processing over four tonnes per hour.<\/p>\n
The larger size of the extruder screw in large plastics recycling plants presents significant technological challenges.<\/p>\n
EREMA has addressed these by developing the smaller INTAREMA 2021 TVEplus, which features a single end-to-end extrusion unit. The 2021 model without a cascade is expected to be launched at the K 2025 trade show in October 2025.<\/p>\n
This system not only maximises throughput at up to 3.5 tonnes per hour but also reduces the system\u2019s footprint and energy consumption while improving pellet quality.<\/p>\n
The new INTAREMA 2021 TVEplus utilises Counter Current technology to feed the extruder with preheated material, enhancing the quality of recycled pellets.<\/p>\n
To ensure the quality of recycled pellets for food and cosmetic grade applications, EREMA has initiated approval projects and received positive non objection letters from a US authority for various plastics.<\/p>\n
The combination of INTAREMA TVEplus RegrindPro and the ReFresher is critical in cleaning and decontaminating input material to meet the stringent requirements of food safety authorities.<\/p>\n
EREMA Group Post Consumer Recycling business development manager Clemens Kitzberger said: \u201cA key driver of these projects is the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which stipulates a recyclate content of 10% in sensitive packaging and 30% in all packaging from 2030 onwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are confident that we will obtain these approvals with our technologies. We use our expertise to provide our customers with the support they need during the proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n
EREMA collaborates closely with partners such as Lindner Washtech. This joint venture has led to optimised recycling processes that produce consistent recyclate quality with reduced energy consumption.<\/p>\n
An example of this collaboration is the project at Polymer Matters in Ireland, which is seeking European Commission approval to use recycled HDPE milk bottles for new bottle production.<\/p>\n
EREMA\u2019s current campaign, Edvanced Recycling \u2013 EREMA Prime Solutions for Advanced Recycling, showcases a wide array of innovative recycling solutions.<\/p>\n
