Eremas Twinpro System Enhances Tough Plastic Recycling Efficiency

The plastic recycling industry faces persistent challenges with low-bulk-density materials and multi-layer composite films, which often compromise efficiency and produce inconsistent pellet quality. EREMA, a leader in recycling solutions, has unveiled its groundbreaking TwinPro system at K 2025, offering a technological breakthrough for these longstanding issues.

Traditional recycling systems struggle with lightweight, adhesive-prone film waste, frequently yielding clumpy, impure pellets unsuitable for high-value applications. EREMA spent two years developing TwinPro through close collaboration with industry partners, creating a production-ready solution specifically designed for demanding recycling applications.

The system's innovation lies in its seamless combination of EREMA's proven Pre-Conditioning Unit (PCU) with high-performance twin-screw extrusion technology. This integration creates synergistic effects particularly effective for processing production waste and specific post-consumer materials.

"TwinPro represents our first direct integration of proprietary PCU technology with twin-screw extrusion," said Markus Huber-Lindinger, Managing Director at EREMA. "This system sets new benchmarks for specialized recycling tasks by combining our material handling expertise with twin-screw extruder capabilities."

• Simultaneous shredding, heating, drying, compaction and buffering
• Counter Current® technology for optimized material flow
• Exceptional material adaptability (30-800 g/l bulk density)

• Optimal blending of multi-layer films (PE-PA/PE-EVOH)
• Consistent pellet quality for high-value applications
• True closed-loop recycling potential

TwinPro's integrated process eliminates multiple handling stages while maintaining exceptional output quality. The PCU's material preparation ensures optimal conditions for the twin-screw extruder, preventing common issues like dead zones or overheating.

The system has expanded beyond film applications to successfully process challenging post-consumer materials like thin-walled 3D packaging. The PCU effectively handles ultra-thin PP flakes from items like yogurt cups, addressing their low bulk density and moisture variability.

EREMA's "Edvanced Recycling" program showcases comprehensive solutions for advanced plastic recycling. With four decades of experience, EREMA systems consistently produce high-quality pellets meeting stringent specifications, including food-grade and cosmetic-grade applications.
