Global availibility of post consumer material (without PET) compared to installed EREMA capacities Huge potential for EREMA!!! Huge potential for Recycling of Rigid packaging
Image of recycled material has to be improved New markets are required
Bureo Skateboards New ideas for innovative recycling products
Recyled pellets Raw Material Specified properties Stable quality Constant supply Volume & Demand increases
Application 01 Supermarket film with paper contamination
Supermarket film Material characteristics Large film pieces, e.g. stretch film from wrapped pallets High and varying humidity (because of outside storage) Contamination: paper labels (up to 3%), wood, dust, etc.
Solution Supermarket film Material characteristics Large film pieces, e.g. stretch film from wrapped pallets High and varying humidity (because of outside storage) cuts homogenises heats dries compacts buffers doses
Solution Supermarket film Counter Current benefits NEW Despite varying input conditions the throughput is stable and higher
Solution Supermarket film Gentle melting benefits The melting process is extremely gentle due to ideal material heating in the preconditioning unit Short extruder, very low shearing forces Therefore paper contaminants do not become carbonized => no smell problem The contaminant particles remain large => efficient filtration
Solution Supermarket film High performance filtration Contamination: paper labels (up to 5%), wood, dust, etc. The EREMA Laserfilter
EREMA Laserfilter Pure cleaning efficiency EREMA Laserfilter video
EREMA Laserfilter Working principle of new scraper Thanks to the new scraper geometry and discharge system design the filter achieves firstclass cleaning efficiency, discharge capacity and thickening. NEW scraper contaminant screen disc borehole Highest thickening = lowest melt loss in the removal of contamination Patent pending melt flow
Application 02 Washed film flakes
Washed film flakes A wide variety of different materials Agricultural film: Cellulose contaminants, sand Household film: Multilayer film including PET / PA layers, PP films Supermarket film: Paper contamination, PET contamination (bottles strapping) Construction film: Dust, wood, paper etc.

Household waste Material characteristics High moisture content Strong contamination Strong variations of material Complex material mixtures foreign polymers, e.g. PA, PET, etc. Organic residuals
Solution Household waste The challenge!
Solution Household waste High moisture content Strong variations of material Organic residuals cuts homogenises heats dries compacts buffers doses
Solution Household waste Optimised homogenisation section Homogenisation of the melt: those impurities which can only be partly filtered (rubber-like particles) Strong contamination Complex material mixtures (mulitlayer) Preparing the melt for degassing (degassing section)
Solution Household waste Improved homogenisation section No lenses Smaller contaminants Well homogenised Standard homogenisation Improved homogenisation section
Solution Household waste Double filtration Double filtration:
INPUT MATERIAL Quality is getting worse and worse Film is getting thinner and thinner & Contaminants are getting higher and higher proportionally YOU Target: pellets in high film quality MARKET Blown film Quality has to increase steadily Film is getting thinner and thinner & Film defects should get less and less
INPUT MATERIAL Commercial post consumer waste 98/2 expensive but less challenge to recycle Target: pellets in high film quality MARKET Blown film High costs Low margin Achievable price
INPUT MATERIAL Now: Post consumer waste: household waste (e.g. yellow bag) cheap but very challenging to recycle Target: pellets in high film quality MARKET Blown film Low costs High margin Achievable price
