Irrigation Tube Recycling and Reprocessing Systems from Erema
Erema’s LLDPE recycling and reprocessing systems allow irrigation tube manufacturers to reuse manufacturing waste
Erema GmbH, based in Austria, has successfully installed linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) irrigation tube recycling and reprocessing systems that allow manufacturers to reuse production waste. The system is designed by Erema’s Pure Loop brand and allows materials such as drip tapes and irrigation pipes to be recycled into high-quality pellets and then reused in the production of new materials. Erema states there is no “loss of quality compared to production from virgin material.” The company also stated, “They operate recycling plants with throughputs of 100 to 500 kilograms (200 to 1,100 to pounds) per hour and reuse the recycled pellets produced in proportions of up to 20 percent in the production process of thin-walled tapes and thick-walled pipes.”

New Cost-Effective Extrusion Process for PP Foam
New Cost-Effective Extrusion Process for PP Foam
Sulzer Chemtech, in partnership with raw material supplier Borealis, has developed a new extrusion process for expanded polypropylene beads
Sulzer Chemtech, based in Switzerland, together with raw material supplier Borealis, based in Austria, have developed a new cost-effective extrusion process for expanded polypropylene (ePP) beads. The new process is expected to lower manufacturing costs by up to 60% while increasing efficiency across the value chain. Sulzer Chemtech’s new innovative compounding production line uses extrusion with direct gas impregnation to easily and cost-effectively produce ePP.
This new compounding line will reduce the costs associated with material supply, storage, and transportation as well as allow manufacturers the ability to fine-tune the properties of the ePP to match their needs. Sulzer Chemtech and Borealis are also working on a carbon dioxide alternative to meet additional customer needs.
