HERBOLD has develloped a new way to feed granulators:
The material to be size-reduced does no longer fall by gravity into the grinding chamber but is evenly and horizontally fed into the rotor with the help of feeding screws…
Indroneel Goho, President & CEO of Magpet Polymers Pvt Ltd, visited Herbold at its booth 9B34 at K 2025 to sign the contract. The new washing line is an extension of the bottle-to-bottle recycling plant that Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim are currently installing for Magpet in India. The granulators and an initial washing line have already successfully commenced operation. With the new washing line, Magpet will be able to increase its PET washing capacity by a factor of 2 to 2.5.

MAG Group‘s recycling activities and is a consistent step towards a circular economy. The HERBOLD washing plant is being installed in Nizhniy-Novgorod at the MAG daughter company Fantastik-Plastik.
For use in plastic recycling plants, the demand for powerful shredders has grown. Especially those that can process entire bales at the beginning of the reprocessing chain. Modern washing plants in particular, such as produced by Herbold Meckesheim, require sophisticated shredder technology to be able to process high throughputs and challenging feed materials. At the same time, the machines should be largely wear-resistant and as simple as possible to operate and maintain.
DetailsBOPET and BOPP films with heavily printed surface or metallized cannot be treated with traditional recycling processes, or at least only with great difficulty due to the high standards required for the degasification of extruders….
DetailsThe primary production of one metric ton of polypropylene – the world’s second most widely used plastic – requires some 5.2 metric tons of raw materials and releases 1.7 metric tons of greenhouse gases. By contrast, the use of one metric ton of polypropylene from secondary raw materials, such as plastic waste, results in only around 225 kilograms of resource consumption and just under one metric ton of greenhouse gases.
DetailsA new development has rarely been as successful as the HERBOLD SB series granulator with force feeding device. With this granulator design the infeed material is fed by force into the grinding chamber with the help of horizontal feeding screws…
DetailsThere are mainly two fields in the plastics industry where pulverizing is required most: when recycling rigid PVC waste, pulverizing into powder creates a high-quality regenerated material that can directly be introduced into the heating mixer. In the field of rotational molding and fluidized bed coating, the virgin material is pulverized to a fineness of 500 my (35 mesh) or 300 my (60 mesh) before its treatment. …
