Opening of the Eremas UpCentre in Gunskirchen, Austria
With its UpCentre, Erema, has opened the doors to a whole new form of upcycling service which means that customers have Corema technology for the sampling of recycling compounds at their disposal. Robert Obermayr, Corema Product Manager, explains: "On the way from recyclates to made-to-measure recycling compounds you need a lot of fine tuning in practice: processors demand varying quantities of samples – as often and as long as necessary until the recycling compound meets the exact requirements of their concrete application, such as film or injection moulding parts." Customers can take advantage of the UpCentre to produce sample amounts in tonnes quickly and flexibly. The UpCentre features a Corema 1108 T for a maximum monthly production of 500 tonnes.
To enable these recyclates to be used 1:1 as a substitute for virgin material one have to have exactly specified, customised property profiles. Processors are interested above all in the recycled pellets allowing trouble-free further processing and the assurance of the functional characteristics of the end products produced from them. With its Corema product line Erema combined all benefits of recycling and compounding in a single processing step for the first time in 2012. For exactly specified raw material based on recyclate to feature more and more in the marketplace one need on the one hand the right recycling technologies and, on the other hand, intense communication throughout the entire value added chain. Erema is investing in this communication and the UpCentre is a proactive contribution towards precisely this dialogue taking place.
