Erema will be presenting the Agglorema generation of machines at K 2025. The new recycling system has been specially developed for the processing of heavily contaminated post-consumer waste and produces agglomerates that are suitable as a starting material for chemical recycling, among other things.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new machine series processes film waste with highly fluctuating moisture content from sorting plants<\/strong> on a large scale and produces agglomerates with a high bulk density, which are ideal as a starting material for chemical recycling, among other things.<\/p>\n

\u201eIt is our job to build machines that support chemical recyclers in the recovery of low-grade waste fractions. Many chemical recycling plants require standardised, pourable starting material. Agglorema bridges the gap between highly contaminated, heterogeneous and often thin-layered waste streams and reliable feedstock for the reactor. It is a particularly robust and energy-efficient system.\u201c<\/p>\n

High throughput with high tolerance to contamination<\/h2>\n

Agglorema processes heavily contaminated waste streams with a low bulk density (from 30 kg\/m\u00b3) and a moisture content of up to 12 per cent. This is made possible by the combination of the Erema pre-treatment unit (PCU) with the patented Counter Current technology and a specially developed extruder screw. Even with strongly fluctuating composition of the feed material<\/strong>, This combination ensures stable process control, for example with regard to polymer, geometry and moisture.<\/p>

The material is homogenised, degassed, preheated and continuously fed into a short extruder without upstream drying. \u201eConventional agglomeration systems quickly reach their limits when the feed material has a low bulk density or fluctuating parameters. For Agglorema, however, this is not a problem thanks to the advantages of the PCU and the robust design of the system,\u201c says Klaus Lederer. He sees a particular advantage in the scalability of the Erema system<\/strong>. It processes up to 2.3 tonnes per hour and offers plenty of scope for increasing throughput.<\/p>\n

From the extruder, the partially melted material strand is fed directly through a melting pipe into the water-cooled melt mill. There it is moulded into agglomerates with a bulk density of 280 to 380 kg\/m\u00b3 and a defined particle size. Depending on the configuration, the residual moisture can be reduced to less than one per cent by downstream drying.<\/strong> The process sequence is deliberately kept simple and robust. The system utilises the advantages of extrusion, however, significantly reduces the process temperature and energy consumption<\/strong>. \u201eOur specially developed extrusion technology only uses as much energy as the material requires,\u201c explains Klaus Lederer.<\/p>\n

The Agglorema can be used both for Preparation of raw materials for chemical recycling as well as for mechanical recycling<\/strong> can be used. Agglomerates produced from mixed polyolefin fractions can be used to manufacture simple components, for example.<\/p>\n
