Early this year, Herbold Meckesheim GmbH commissioned the latest state-of-the-art washing line for PET bottles in Kazakhstan. The operator of the line, Vtorma Ecology, has also built the first big waste grading plant in Almaty. The positively sorted PET bottles are transformed by the Herbold washing line into a high-quality ground material. These machines have been designed to treat highly contaminated bottles from the waste grading plant….
DetallesThe agreement is rightly called historic: Recently, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) passed a resolution providing a global agreement to curb plastic waste. By the end of 2024, a legally binding convention is to regulate the entire life cycle of plastics. Bitterly necessary, after all, according to UN figures, around 400 million tons of plastic waste are generated worldwide every year, of which only about nine percent is recycled.
DetallesHerbold Meckesheim GmbH obtained a new major order in December: it will supply a large-scale plant for plastic recycling to Fantastic Plastic. Fantastic Plastic is considered to be the producer of the highest quality PET flakes in Russia.
DetallesHerbold Meckesheim is reporting an excellent order situation for PET and film washing lines towards the end of the current fiscal year. Towards the end of the US fiscal year, because since last summer Herbold belongs to the US group Hillenbrand Inc. Last October, a separate Recycling Business Unit was set up under the umbrella of Hillenbrand with the machinery building company Coperion to cover the entire process chain of plastics processing. This gives the Meckesheim-based plant manufacturer an even stronger basis and more impetus for its steady growth.

DetallesWashing and size reduction of highly contaminated PE and PP bottles
The applications of plastic waste recycling become more and more complicated: the feeding material is characterised by a steadily growing contamination and an increasing percentage of foreign bodies. One reason for this are the new sorting procedures; another reason is the fact that more and more frequently, streams of waste materials that in the past could not be recycled at all, or only after a preceding time-consuming and costly manual preparation, are nowadays treated fully-automatically…
A new more sophisticated machine technology is needed for the reusable materials recycling of PET bottles. New bottle designs are complicating the task of bottle recyclers: labels covering the whole surface of the bottle are an obstacle to optic sorting, and if these new labels have additionally been made of PVC, then the usual quality standard during reusable materials recycling cannot be maintained with the available technology. With the new label remover HERBOLD Meckesheim GmbH has presented a new process step. The HERBOLD label remover makes a preliminary treatment of the bottles before size reduction possible: removing and separating labels is the important step for high quality recycling of PET bottles….
