Lower melt temperature, lower energy consumption

That is how the new INTAREMA® TVEplus® DuaFil® Compact 1108 achieves a melt temperature upstream of the second filter unit that is 18.5 degrees Celsius lower than the previous EREMA double filtration solution when processing LDPE supermarket film containing paper, and consumes 10 percent less energy overall (specific energy consumption kWh/kg). Another advantage is in the processing of LDPE/LLDPE material streams that often havevarying degrees of moisture and contamination due to impurities such as paper labels, wood particles or foreign polymers. These get into the material stream through splinters from pallets or strapping bands and can lead to the formation of unpleasant odours and discolouration. This is where the DuaFil®Compact Zone really comes into its own, because operating at a lower melt temperature very effectively prevents the combustion that would otherwise cause these odours.

All these features make the new INTAREMA® TVEplus® DuaFil® Compact machine the first choice for post-consumer applications where polymer-conserving processing and strong filtration performance are important. "Ultimately, the high quality of the recycled pellets that we achieve with this system creates the opportunity to increasingly replace virgin material with recycled material in end products, meeting the current market trend and sustainability requirements," says Michael Heitzinger, Managing Director, EREMA GmbH.
