Building on its long-standing expertise in modular system solutions for size reduction, washing, separation, drying, and agglomeration of plastics waste, Herbold Meckesheim offers tailored, highly automated plants for numerous industrial recycling applications. The company will present a range of integrated systems and solutions designed for mechanical processing, including the new high-capacity Mechanical Dryer T150-300 and the latest SMS granulator model. Visitors can explore these innovations firsthand at Hall 9, Booth 9B34. In addition, a Hydrocyclone Separation Stage will be showcased in the Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim Recycling Pavilion in the Open Area FG/CE07, where the companies will demonstrate their comprehensive interlocking recycling solutions. This participation highlights Herbold Meckesheim’s and Coperion’s ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge machinery and process solutions that drive the shift toward a more circular plastics economy.
New Dryer: A Step Forward in Drying Technology
Herbold’s latest innovation, the Mechanical Dryer T 150-300, debuts in a new size at K 2025 in Booth 9B34 in Hall 9. This high-capacity model sets new standards in large-scale drying applications, reaching throughputs of up to 2.5 tons of film per hour or >10t/h of PET or rigid flakes. The dryer features a fully redesigned construction, including a rotating sieve basket with integrated water spray nozzles for full-coverage cleaning and a centrifugal drying chamber for rapid moisture removal.
Designed for maintenance simplicity, it is equipped with hydraulically hinged housing for quick access and advanced monitoring systems supporting predictive maintenance. This innovative dryer is perfectly suited for demanding industrial workflows, particularly for film processing, ensuring consistent surface cleanliness and superior drying efficiency.
The SMS 80-200 Granulator, designed for demanding recycling processes, delivers high throughput with precise size reduction, minimal fines, and a quick knife change system for maximum operational efficiency.
Granulator: High-Performance Efficiency
The next size of Herbold’s SMS Granulators, renowned for its durability and precision, will also be showcased at Hall 9. The SMS 80-200 Granulator is built for demanding applications. It integrates energy-efficient double cross-cutting action and pre-adjustable rotor and bed knives to produce a high-quality regrind with minimal fines and consistent particle size distribution. Its design emphasizes ease of maintenance, featuring a hinged housing and quick knife change system, ultimately reducing downtime and operational costs
