Solution for upcycling recycled plastics

To meet the challenge of recycling highly contaminated materials with high moisture content, MARIS introduces Evorec Plastic Plus. This solution for upcycling recycled plastics integrates a two-step process involving a single-screw extruder and the MARIS corotating twin-screw extruder.

The process of recycling contaminated and wet plastics

Starting from thermoplastic materials...

In free-flowing and non-flowing form
Highly contaminated
With high ink content
With high moisture content

...Are converted to:

Homogeneous materials
Cleaned
Granulates

Obtaining:

Improved mechanical properties (adding fillers/fibers)
Coloration (by adding pigments)
Different properties (by adding additives)
De-inking (through a special degassing and stripping system)
Odor reduction (through a special degassing system)

Benefits

The solution for recycling “upcycled” plastics through a two-step process offers the following advantages:

High-quality granules;
Ability to recycle materials with high concentrations of ink, moisture and contaminants, enabling efficient handling of more complex waste;
High degassing efficiency;
Increased value of recycled material through the addition of fillers, fibers or additives during the process;
Energy savings;
Reduced material recycling costs;
Increased production.
