Erema premieres Xtreme Renew
<![CDATA[

The annual Erema Discovery Day was held at the company’s headquarters in Ansfelden, Austria, 1 June 2016. More than 250 international customers and interested guests attended this year as Erema, in collaboration with Sipa, a leading Italian PET (polyethylene terephthalate) packaging solutions company with 30 years of experience in the field of preform/bottle production and filling plants, presented the Xtreme Renew recycling system. This system enables direct and flexible processing of washed PET flakes to produce preforms, the companies say.

From sorters and washing plant manufacturers to downstream producers, fillers and brand owners, representatives from the entire PET recycling value chain were present at the Erema headquarters.

Christoph Wöss, business development manager for bottle applications at Erema, says, “In my experience with customers, the reason why a producer decides in favour of a major investment in a recycling solution is based on a broad-sighted, entrepreneurial approach. Only those companies which are willing and able to adapt will remain in the constantly fluctuating plastics industry in the long term. Thanks to the collaboration with Sipa, we make it possible for plastics producers to show the necessary flexibility.”

The food-contact-compliant melt produced by Vacurema runs when hot and without the otherwise common intermediate cooling stage in pellet production directly into the Xtreme production process developed by Sipa, making preforms in a single step. As a result, Erema says, energy efficiency is increased and the PET experiences less thermal damage.

Enrico Gribaudo, Sipa general manager, says, “We are proud to have developed such a sustainable product together with Erema. Sustainable in the sense of the company and sustainable in the sense of the environment. Moreover, the processing gives you unrivalled benefits in logistics. Xtreme Renew not only saves space, CO2 and energy, it also reduces costs.”

Some 1.2 million tonnes of PET are recycled every year around the world using Vacurema technology for products such as preforms for the beverage industry as well as for thermoforming sheet, fibres, strapping, etc. According to Erema, Vacurema technology offers a high degree of flexibility in PET recycling that is enhanced further through its collaboration with Sipa.
