EREMA has announced a new addition to its ReadyMac plastics recycling system - the ReadyMac 500 “Heavy Duty” version - with an integrated EREMA Laserfilter, said to be suitable for processing demanding post-consumer materials.
EREMA says the new ReadyMac 500 HD is ideal for more heavily contaminated input streams. The integrated EREMA Laserfilter removes impurities such as paper, wood, aluminium, or foreign polymers from the plastic melt while the screen is continuously cleaned by a scraper system.
The standard machine features EREMA’s TVE technology in which degassing occurs after filtration, and the system has a reported throughput of 500 kilograms per hour. With the launch of the ReadyMac 500 HD, EREMA aims to expand its standardized machine offering for companies operating in post-consumer recycling who do not require a customized system.
The ReadyMac system is due to be displayed at EREMA’s stand at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe, taking place on 1-2nd April 2025 in Amsterdam.
