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.
