Inline and Offline Recycling

Efficient inline and offline recycling solutions for all plastics processors.

  • Recycle primary grade scrap into primary grade pellets directly
  • Recycle all scrap into high quality pellets
  • The lowest kW per lb/kg available

Alpha - Inline Recycling Systems

Alpha - the most efficient inline recycling system in the market developed in partnership between Erema and Plasmac.

Why Choose an Alpha

  • Direct extrusion design, no prior size reduction required, therefore no dust.
  • Unique Short Screw Technology (SST) ensures minimal power consumption.
  • SST = low shear, low processing temperatures & minimal process dwell time.
  • This means the absolute minimal material degradation and gels.

Rapid Return on Investment

  • Return on investment in a little as 6 months.
  • Minimal energy used - lower running costs.
  • Minimize operator interaction.
  • Reduced material costs - recycle ALL scrap straight back into the blender.

Circular Economy

  • Perfect for in-line trim recycling - all scrap material goes back into the product.
  • No material lost to the surrounding environment, in-line means you close the loop
  • No material sent offsite, no cross contamination of your product, zero losses - at minimal kW cost.

Range of Options

  • Choices of air or water pelletizer dependent on materials or output being run.
  • Trims fed in via the trim basket, scrap reels reprocessed via the reel feed - the Alpha is capable of feeding both products simultaneously into the extruder.
  • Flake feeder options for feeding flakes and chips for all molding and extrusion processes.
  • Options to fit MGF Gravimetric Feeder plus WSB Gravimetric Blender for additives or fillers.

Omega - Offline Recycling Systems

Omega - a shredder and extruder combination for inline and offline recycling for larger throughputs. Ideal for lumps, reels, loose and bales. Developed in partnership between Erema and Plasmac.

Two Stage Process

  • Step 1: Shred material no matter the format. 
  • Shredder design minimizes dust - generates virtually no heat or dust = key benefits: a better quality recycled material.
  • Step 2: Shredded material directly fed into the extruder and pelletized into a high quality pellet at the lowest energy cost possible.
  • Utilizes the same Short Screw Technology (SST) as the Alpha - ensuring minimal power consumption, low shear, low processing temperatures & minimal process dwell time = minimal material degradation. 
  • Unique shredder design which creates virtually no dust or heat = minimal gels.

Minimal Maintenance 

  • No water cooling of rotor or transfer system needed. 
  • Manual or automatic systems available - for use with reels and flake.

Rapid Return on Investment

  • Return on investment in a little as 6 months.
  • Minimal energy used - lower running costs.
  • Minimize operator interaction.
  • Reduced material costs - recycle ALL scrap straight back into the blender.

Circular Economy

  • Perfect for high speed or high output in-line trim recycling, all scrap material goes back into the product.
  • Recycle all your scrap material including start-up scrap, lumps, loose, reels, fabrics, ensuring no material is lost to the surrounding environment - lets you close the loop.
  • No material sent offsite, no cross contamination of your product, zero losses - at minimal kW cost.

Range of Options

  • Choices of air or water pelletizer dependent on materials or output being run.
  • Can be fed via an elevator with integral metal detector, reel feed, trim basket or hand fed.
  • Flake feeder options for feeding flakes and chips for all molding and extrusion processes.
  • Options to fit MGF Gravimetric Feeder plus WSB Gravimetric Blender for additives or fillers.
  • Pellet detection systems to alert operator if any issues.

Inline and Offline Recycling at a Glance

1. Variety of Feed Systems

The Alpha can be equipped with Trim Basket for in-line trims and / or a roll feed for scrap reels, a Flake Feeder for shredded or granulated materials, SupaTrim for sticky or highly extensible material and even a hand feed chute for bag cut out or loose material.

3. High Quality Pellet Production

Due to the Short Screw Technology (SST) the Alpha and Omega ensure there is low shear, low processing temperatures & minimal process dwell time = the absolute minimal material degradation and gel formation.

5. Smallest Footprint

Due to the SST, the Alpha takes up very little floor space, meaning it can be installed in even the smallest of spaces, and the most congested of extrusion halls.

2. Rapid Return on Investment

The Alpha is recognized as being the most energy efficient machine on the market - return on Investment in as little as 6 months due to its low power consumption.

4. Highly Flexible Machine

Can be supplied with either air or water cooling, with or without venting systems and with manual, hydraulic, back-flushing screenchangers or without screenchanger - tailored to virtually any recycling needs possible. 

6. Operator Friendly Design

An intuitive HMI, a streamlined design and a small footprint mean our Inline and Offline recycling machines are as operator friendly as possible. Inline machines can be monitored by the extrusion line operators, offline machines can be fed and left to run.
