About 60 visitors came to the Recycling & Compounding TecDay in Hannover, Germany, organized by KraussMaffei Berstorff and Erema Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen GmbH.
The main focus was on the Edelweiss Compounding concept using an Erema recycling extruder and a KraussMaffei twin-screw extruder. Plastics recycling and compounding companies can use the line for re-compounding tests performed under real production conditions.
During the TecDay event, post-industrial popypropylene film scraps with varying degrees of contamination were converted into a PP compound with 30 percent talc filling in a two-stage extrusion process.
