By using the HSM PET Crusher 1049 SA, the volume of PET bottles can be reduced to around 25 or 30 percent of their original size. 500 billion PET bottles are produced each year around the world. The production of 1 kg of PET bottles requires 1.9 kg of crude oil. In the light of this figure, the recycling of used PET bottles is becoming more relevant than ever. More than 90% of all PET bottles produced are single-use bottles. Because PET is fully recyclable, PET is a key element in the reusable material cycle for the production, for instance, of fibres for textile production, film, packaging tapes and even furniture. HSM rose to this challenge some years ago and has been using its expertise in the environmental industry to develop customised solutions for the effective recycling of PET bottles. The HSM PET Crusher is an effective system for compacting PET bottles and cans to around 1/3 or even 1/4 of their original volume. The cutting units can also be used in combination with deposit return machines. The sophisticated technology of the HSM PET Crusher The crusher rollers are made from a

No-one at Repasack is prepared to part with their Hsm brp 4810 briquetting press. The machine presses twice as fast as its predecessor, compresses the material to a thirtieth of its initial volume and so far it has not had any operational faults. At the large counting centre for disposable packaging made from PET, aluminium and tin there was a positive summary regarding the first new HSM briquetting press. Despite some difficulties that had had to be overcome along the way. Employees often like to choose their own way of doing things - and in this case it’s for the better: after the Hsm brp 4810 had been set up for testing in the counting centre in Oberhausen, the employees would only have used the new machine, although the old one could have been used in parallel, reported Uwe Lauf, the operations manager in the Repasack counting centre in Oberhausen. The reasons for the employees’ quick switch were obvious. The new press works twice as fast as its predecessor and it compresses with much more power. “This machine works very well and very

Europe’s largest logistics provider, Euro Pool System, in Hungary with new recycling hall In neatly lined-up wire cage carts, cardboard, PET bottles and cans from 175 branches of a supermarket chain in Hungary wait to be compressed into bales. The used packaging is carried via chain conveyors into two parallel channel baling presses and it’s there they are tightly compacted. Two shifts a day, six days a week. Everyone’s talking about the branch of the largest logistics provider in the field of reusable packaging being in Budapest: Euro Pool System. This branch alone processes around 22,000 tons of materials every year. This equals more than 4 tons per hour. Figures such as this require a fast and effective method of operation. Euro Pool has decided to build a new hall which will accommodate the recycling of materials from the food industry. Two fully automatic channel baling presses from HSM will enable the volume of packaging to be drastically reduced and returned to the recycling loop in the form of bales of material. Euro Pool will collect materials
