Extrusion International USA 4-2021

48 Extrusion International 4/2021 RECYCLING The MAS components used for this include the DRD (Double Rotary Disc) film flake cleaning system and a downstream extrusion system. The latter consists of the MAS-specific co-rotating conical twin-screw ex- truder, a continuous MAS melt filter and a single-screw degassing cascade (Picture 1). Awarded for New Process Technology in Regranulating LDPE / LLDPE Waste Films Since 2013, Austrian extrusion and recycling technology company MAS-Maschinen- und Anlagenbau Schulz GmbH and Dutch fi lm recycling company Caroda BV have been cooperating in the technological development of fi lm recycling systems. These systems focus on LDPE industrial fi lms, with a higher LLDPE content, as well as agricultural fi lms Picture 1. MAS cascade extrusion line for fi lm recycling (Picture: MAS) Picture 2.
