From IFAT to PRSE 2026: CMG brings measurable performance to extrusion and recycling
 |
In today’s extrusion and recycling processes, performance is no longer defined by throughput alone.
Material variability, post-consumer streams and increasingly strict quality requirements are placing new pressure on production systems. In many cases, inefficiencies do not originate in the extrusion phase itself, but earlier in the process.
They start with the regrind.
This is the context in which CMG Granulators will take part in two major international events:
IFAT 2026 (Munich, May 4–7 – Hall B6, Stand 527) and Plastics Recycling Show Europe 2026 (Amsterdam, May 5–6 – Stand D42).
Across both exhibitions, CMG will present a clear and consistent approach: turning size reduction into a measurable competitive advantage.
Regrind quality: a critical parameter for extrusion efficiency
 |
In extrusion applications, regrind quality has a direct impact on process stability and output consistency.
Non-uniform particles, dust generation and inconsistent granulometry can lead to:
• fluctuations in melt behavior
• reduced process stability
• higher scrap rates
• increased energy consumption
By contrast, high-quality regrind—uniform, consistent and dust-free—allows manufacturers to improve downstream processing conditions and optimize overall efficiency.
This principle is at the core of CMG’s technology:
granulation is not simply a mechanical step, but a strategic factor in process performance.
Finalist at Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2026
At PRSE 2026, CMG’s participation is further strengthened by its selection as a finalist at the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2026.
The nomination highlights the company’s approach to advanced size reduction and, in particular, the Evolution Series, developed for high-performance recycling of post-consumer materials.
EV 92-220: high-capacity granulation for demanding applications
At the center of CMG’s exhibition is the EV 92-220, part of the Evolution Series.
Designed for high-intensity industrial environments, the machine is engineered to handle complex and heterogeneous materials while ensuring:
• high throughput capacity
• reduced energy consumption
• consistent, dust-free regrind
• simplified and faster maintenance operations
• improved operational continuity
For extrusion processes, these features translate into tangible operational benefits:
more stable feeding conditions, better repeatability and reduced downtime.
From machine to system integration
CMG solutions are developed to operate within integrated production environments, supporting a wide range of applications including:
• extrusion of rigid plastics, films and profiles
• post-consumer recycling
• recovery of industrial scrap
Rather than focusing on standalone equipment, the company adopts a system-oriented approach, ensuring seamless integration with existing lines and consistent performance over time.
This reflects CMG’s positioning as a technology partner capable of improving the efficiency of the entire production process, not just the granulation phase.
A consistent message across international markets
At both IFAT and PRSE, CMG addresses a key challenge for the plastics industry:
how to combine productivity, sustainability and quality in increasingly complex processing conditions.
The answer lies in process optimization.
When regrind quality improves:
• extrusion processes become more stable
• energy consumption is reduced
• material yield increases
• and the value of recycled material is preserved
