Herbold to present at K 2010

Herbold Meckesheim GmbH – Germany Fax: +49 6226 932 495

MACHINE and plant manufacturer Herbold Meckesheim GmbH will present new developments for size-reducing and recycling plastic waste at the K 2010 trade show. The company will be found at Hall 9 Stand 9B 42 at the event, which takes place from 27 October to 3 November. Herbold’s range of granulators has been enlarged by the new granulators of the HB series, which will be presented for the first time at K 2010. With these granulators it is possible to size reduce whole bales of film, bulk injection moulding and blow moulding parts and bales of foamed plastics, etc in one single step to the required granule size for subsequent further treatment. The grinding chamber is directly linked to a feed hopper, and with the help of a PLC- controlled ram the material is forwarded to the rotor. For many materials a two-step size reduction consisting of a shredder and a granulator will no longer be necessary. Another new development is the Herbold wet shredder type HGM. This armour-plated size-reduction unit has been developed for highly contaminated plastic waste, such as agricultural film. Using water right from the first processing step for the size reduction of highly contaminated plastic waste will reduce the well-known wear and tear problem and will considerably increase the efficiency of a wash line for agricultural film. In addition to this, the company will focus on components and complete lines for recycling mixed and contaminated plastic waste. In this field, Herbold can provide modules, especially and individually put together according to the customer’s needs. Everything from a simple wet granulator, eg for bottle crates, to a complete custom-made washing line integrating a hot washing step can be put together according to the material, the degree of contamination and the required throughput performance, or an existing line can be optimised or completed. The plastcompactor is not only used for compacting films, fibres and foams for the production of agglomerates with excellent flow properties, but it is also an efficient final component of a washing line for drying thin and stretch film, since it is a more energy-saving procedure than thermal procedures and procedures in batches. The optimised feeding device ensures efficiency, even in the case of extremely wet materials or materials with an extremely low bulk density.
