Gneuss OMNImax
recycling machine
continued from page 31
OMNI recycling machine featuring
a new 3C rotary feeder,
an MRSjump 70 extruder, a fully
automatic RSFgenius 90 melt
filtration system and an online
viscometer VIS, for the processing
of 200 kg/h (450 lbs/h)
of undried and uncrystallized
polyester (PET) thermoform reclaim.
The new 3C Rotary Feeder
makes it possible to use low
bulk density materials without
any external processing steps.
A conveyor belt feeds shredded
reclaim material into the hopper,
where a fast-rotating disc
with knives cuts, compacts and
pre-conditions the material.
The knives add energy into the
material and start the heating
and degassing process before
the material is automatically fed
into the MRSjump extruder.
Samples of polypropylene
tubs for food applications made
with 30 % post-consumer PP
and PS sheet made from 30 %
post-consumer PS, processed
on Gneuss OMNI Recycling
Machines with MRS extruders
and RSFgenius filtration systems,
will be on display.
And with Gneuss' headquarters
only about 200 km from the
show, a complete PET sheet extrusion
line with an OMNImax
Recycling Machine - consisting
of an MRSjump 70, Gneuss'
deep vacuum system and a fully
automatic filtration system RSFgenius
75 - and a sheet downstream
with a 500 mm wide
extrusion die will be running in
Gneuss' technical centre, which
is open to visitors.

their product portfolio.
At the Circonomic Center loOn
the joint stand (hall 9,
stand C09, and the Erema
Circonomic Center) of the
Erema Group - consisting of
Erema, Pure Loop, Umac, 3S,
Keycycle and Plasmac - seven
new technological innovations,
recycling systems and
components will be launched,
including technological innovations
in the plasticizing unit
that have been specially developed
for high throughputs with
low specific energy consumption,
the new Erema 406 laser
filter with a 50 percent larger
screening area, and new digital
assistance systems that will be
made available on the BluPort
customer platform. Among the
apps to be premiered are the
PredictOn app, which helps to
anticipate and eliminate imminent
malfunctions through the
continuous measurement and
evaluation of machine data. In
cated outside on the fairground,
EREMA will be showing plastics
recycling with live demonstrations
in conjunction with cooperation
partners. Different waste
streams will be processed for this
purpose, and applications for the
recyclate will be showcased at
the Products made of Recyclate
exhibition at the centre.

addition, the company is introducing
Chemarema, a new
series developed for the mechanical
material processing
- preparing input streams and
ensuring a reliable, continuous
and energy-efficient flow of
feed material - that is also part
of the chemical recycling process.
Erema Group subsidiary
UMAC is launching ReadyMac,
a standardised, prefabricated
recycling solution that can be
produced from stock, based on
proven Erema TVE technology.
Finally, in the inhouse recycling
segment, Pure Loop and
Plasmac will round off the wide
range of machines offered by
FOCUS: FUTURE!
Save energy now with smart control.
In Recycling hall 9, stand A02,
Maag, whose systems play a key
role in enabling a more circular
economy for plastics, will be
showing solutions for mechanical
recycling. The company will
showcase a range of equipment,
from its Ettlinger ERF and ECO
series melt filters, capable of
handling contamination levels of
up to 16 %, high throughputs of
up to 10,000 kg/h and filtration
finenesses down to 60 microns;
its updated PEARLO underwater
pelletiser technology; AMN
die plates for underwater pelletisers;
and the new extrex recycling
pump with more space
between the teeth and flatter
angles to allow impurities up to
a size of 0.6 mm to pass through,
making an upstream protective
