Our Process
Preston Plastics uses the EREMA Plastic Recycling System with high performance degassing type TVE Plus E. We also use a state of the art Vecoplan shredder.
We have experienced that when processing particularly strongly printed, heavily contaminated and/or wet plastic waste, conventional degassing extruders do not meet today's recycling requirements. This prompted EREMA to develop a unique, patented technology, its TVE-extruder design with melt filter upstream of the extruder venting.
We operate the machinery via its touch screen control .This enables us to record production data, operate the plant via the control room and access online support through the EREMA Technical Centre.
The simple yet sophisticated design of this plant combines optimum degassing with finest possible filtration. This rules out the well-known disadvantages of conventional degassing extruders, for example, limited ability to overcome pressure, sensibility to clogged screens and insufficient degassing.
The melt is transformed into regular, clean and degassed pellets, which then pass through the downstream cooling and drying system. A blower then conveys the pellets through tubes to a silo/bagging station.
