Extrusion International 1-2026

42 Extrusion International 1/2026 RECYCLING Standardised Recycling Machine is Well Established on the Market T he K 2022 show saw the launch of the ReadyMac. Three years later, with a new look and an addi- tional configuration for post con- sumer materials, the standardised recycling machine made to stock celebrates its success on the mar- ket at K 2025. The sales figures have continued to grow. So far, in the current financial year, which ends in March 2026, as many ma- chines have already been installed as in the whole of the previous year. The ReadyMac teams up high quality recycling technology with an attractive fixed price and imme - diate availability. Customers gain the advantage of a standardised machine that can be used uni- versally for multiple film and re - grind applications. The heavy duty version with EREMA laser filter is especially suitable for process- ing post consumer waste streams and is available at a fixed price of EUR 440,000. The second version, equipped with an SW RTF ® screen changer system, is a flexible all- rounder for processing medium contaminated feed material for an investment of EUR 375,000. Both configurations are equipped with an efficient multipurpose extruder screw and achieve throughputs of 500 kilograms per hour. Since its launch, the ReadyMac has continuously gained in market presence. Demand has increased in particular following the relaunch at the end of 2024 and the introduc- tion of the ReadyMac 500 HD in ear- ly 2025. During the current financial year 2025/26, the number of new machines commissioned has already reached double digits. Besides cus- tomers in Europe, companies in re- gions such as South Africa and Latin America have also chosen to rely on ReadyMac. "The feedback from the markets shows us that we are onto a winner with the ReadyMac", says Michael Köhnhofer, Head of Business Unit ReadyMac at EREMA. "Our custom- ers appreciate the combination of quick and easy availability at an at- tractive price, and proven EREMA quality. This is something that ap- peals to many companies at a time when each investment needs to be evaluated very carefully." Manfred Hackl, CEO at the ER- EMA Group, sees the ReadyMac as an optimum strategic addition: "With the ReadyMac we are aim- ing to reach customers who are looking to enter plastics recycling with a reliable machine that is available quickly, rather than a custom-built solution. As a result, we have yet again strengthened the portfolio of the EREMA group of companies." The success of the standardised machine is based on the proven extrusion system from EREMA fea- turing TVE technology and the pat- ented Preconditioning Unit (PCU). Ultimately, EREMA has made reli- able recycling technology more ac- cessible to a wider circle of compa- nies. On top of the attractive fixed price and short delivery times, cus- tomers gain the advantage of the proven EREMA after sales service package with rapid spare parts sup- plies and worldwide support.
