Stricker ramping up recycling system

Stricker PolyRec GmbH & Co. KG recently built a large-scale plant for size-reducing, agglomerating and refining of engineering plastics waste. The process is driven by a “plastcompactor” concept developed by Herbold Meckesheim GmbH.

Stricker PolyRec handles PET, polycarbonate films, nonwovens, filaments, fibers and other materials that have to be handled gently during recycling. The Herbold Plastcompactor HV 70 unit boasts a 250-kilowatt main drive in addition to a fully automated system control to assure an unchanging quality.

Herbold Meckesheim, of Meckesheim, Germany, developed the turnkey plant for Stricker PolyRec of Schwerte-Westhofen, Germany.

Herbold Meckesheim USA is based in Smithfield, R.I.
