Extrusion International 2-2018

55 Extrusion International 2/2018 EREMA www.erema.com Booth 2B59, Hall 2H From 24 to 27 April visitors to the EREMA trade fair stand 2B59 in Hall 2H at Chinaplas will find out how, using the right technology, they can process not only clean pro- duction waste but also even heavily contaminated post- consumer materials to make new raw material. In com- bination with EREMA’s smart digital solutions, this sets a new standard in terms of quality and processes in plastics recycling. The potential of plastics recycling in China can be tapped even further, says a confident James Qiu, CEO of EREMA China. To support this development from the techno- logical side, EREMA counts on maximum quality in the production of recyclates. EREMA developed the INTAR- EMA TVEplus system especially for the processing of post-consumer materials which, with a market share of over 80 per cent in Europe, has secured a clear lead. “The unique combination of INTAREMA TVEplus and EREMA Laserfilter is particularly suitable for material with a high degree of contamination, when conventional melt filters can no longer offer the necessary cleaning efficiency. The amount of unwashed waste film with paper labels from commercial waste, HDPE from household waste or WEEE, for example, is high in China. This is why the current de- velopments in terms of increased investment in the ex- pansion of sorting and collection systems are encourag- ing,” says Qiu. For processors, EREMA offers the technical answer to the question of how the production waste which accumulates can be used as efficiently as possible. Interested attendees can see the production quality of the INTAREMA TVEplus 1007 for themselves at the EREMA booth. The system will be processing production waste from polypropylene big bag bulk containers (FIBCs) live to make high-quality recy- clates – direct and without any pre-shredding. “Due to its wide variety of use you find large plastic fibre packaging in an increasing number of areas, such as food products, consumer durables and the construction industry. Plastic is too valuable to dismiss as waste. Thanks to the stable processing with our EREMA systems it is no trouble to put the recyclates back into the production process,” states Qiu. Equipped with an EREMA Laserfilter, the INTAREMA TVEplus system can even recycle heavily contaminated or heavily printed post-consumer bulk bags. EREMA’s smart factory package represents another boost in quality. Recyclers and producers can equip their EREMA systems with online quality measuring equipment to re- cord the MVR and colour values of the recyclates at the machine during processing – as opposed to later on in the laboratory. Additionally, the re360 Manufacturing Execu- tion System (MES) enables you to transfer production and machine data from one, two or dozens of systems – also at different locations – directly to the computer in real time.
