NGR and Leistritz join forces for the future of recycling
Leistritz Extrusionstechnik GmbH and Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen GmbH (NGR), two specialists in plastics processing, have formed close cooperation by combining their respective strengths in plastic recycling and compounding to develop high-performance, integrated solutions for the increasing demands of circular economy.
Leistritz is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of twin-screw extruders and turnkey extrusion lines for the demanding compounding and refinement of plastics while NGR is a renowned, global supplier of highly efficient and innovative plastics recycling systems for polyolefins, PET, and technical plastics.
Together, the two experts are developing a process solution that enables recycling and compounding in a single step with only one melting process.
The cooperation focuses on:
Recycling and compounding in one step: Optimization of mechanical properties through the addition of additives, fillers (e.g. talc, calcium carbonate, glass fibers), and stabilizers.
High-performance degassing: Efficient removal of volatile contaminants, for example for food-grade applications.
Production of high-quality regranulates: Particularly suitable for PO films that must meet high quality and defect-free requirements.
A joint recycling and compounding system of C:GRAN 085- 130 and Leistritz ZSE 60 is installed at the NGR Test Center in Feldkirchen an der Donau, Austria, allowing demonstrated for the cooperation at any time. The system is designed for approximately 300–500 kg/h and is available for customer trials.
C:GRAN 085- 130 + Leistritz ZSE 60.
