PP recyclate of product group "Basic" freshly produced by Erema |
The new machine is able to process even heavily printed films into premium PP compounds – more efficiently, with better product quality and double the production capacity. So the company can now offer larger amounts of its "Basic" products, that the customers use to manufacture flower pots or roof sheeting, for example.
„The plant doubles our possible capacity in this field from about 2,500 t to 5,000 t/p. a.", says Uwe Eberhardt, Division Head Compounds at friedola®TECH, "The increased energy efficiency and the avoidance of additional production steps benefit the environment and pay off for us and for our customers. "
A better quality makes the package complete.The production waste will be reduced by more than 50 %, says the company representative. A higher output of the machine as a result is expected.

"Furthermore, the plant allows special settings for filler materials and flow properties according to customer specifications. This was only possible with an additional production step before." adds Uwe Eberhardt, who campaigned for the investment and motivated management to make this acquisition.
After the successful project engineering by Siegfried Herz, CEO Dr. Matthias Stein has now handed over the plant to the Division Head Compounds Uwe Eberhardt and the Production Manager Norbert Gunkel.
The new plant replaces the previous „Erema" at the location. The company has now four extrusion lines, two material processing plants and one injection molding plant for load securing wedges in Leinefelde.
