IN FOKUS: RECYCLING
Post-consumer recycling –
more efficient and economic
The manufacturer of machines and plants from Meckesheim/Germany was presented at IFAT
2016 in Munich new solutions for washing, separating and drying of plastic waste featuring
low operating costs and higher efficiency. In the front of the line is the HERBOLDwet shredder
HGM: beginning at the pre-size reduction step water is added, which is new. Until recently,
water was only used in the granulation process where further size reduction occurred.
