AGGLOREMA by EREMA: Efficient Recycling of Contaminated Film Waste
05.09.2025
At K 2025, EREMA presents AGGLOREMA – a new recycling system designed to convert heavily contaminated post-consumer plastic waste into high-density agglomerates. These are ideal as input for chemical recycling, enabling more efficient use of low-grade film fractions in a circular economy.
Turning Contaminated Plastic Waste into Feedstock
AGGLOREMA processes highly contaminated plastic film waste with:
- Bulk densities starting at 30 kg/m³
- Moisture levels up to 12%
This is achieved using the Preconditioning Unit (PCU) in combination with Counter Current® technology and a specially designed extruder screw. The system ensures stable processing without the need for upstream drying – even with fluctuating input compositions.
Consistent Output, Scalable Performance
The processed material is partially melted and fed directly into a water-cooled melt mill, producing agglomerates with defined particle size and a bulk density of 280–380 kg/m³. Optional drying steps can reduce residual moisture to below 1%.
Further system benefits:
- Throughput up to 2.3 t/h, scalable for industrial needs
- Simplified layout for robust, energy-efficient operation
- Process temperature is minimised – only as much energy as needed
Supporting Chemical and Mechanical Recycling
AGGLOREMA delivers a pourable, standardised output that meets the requirements of chemical recycling reactors. It also supports mechanical recycling, such as the reuse of mixed polyolefins for basic components.
Synergies with CHEMAREMA®
EREMA's CHEMAREMA® line complements AGGLOREMA by offering direct melt-to-reactor feed. These systems are built for:
- High throughputs of 2 to 4.5 t/h
- Increased wear resistance
- Upcoming enhancements to be unveiled at K 2025
Edvanced Recycling by EREMA
Under the Edvanced Recycling campaign, EREMA presents its full portfolio for advanced recycling – built on over 40 years of experience in plastic processing. The focus: helping customers increase the share of high-quality recyclate in new products.
