Schenck Process

The drive to reduce our carbon footprint and increase the use of recycled materials means that companies need to rethink their current value chain, end-to-end. Addressing these challenges requires enhanced collaboration and sharing of expertize of all suppliers in the process chain, to combine their expertize into viable processes and products to fulfil the criteria of sustainable production.

We are working in a very exciting time of change and many things will not return to how they used to be. The global pandemic has increased the impetus for digitalization which presents a huge opportunity for Europe to maximize their technology leadership in machine manufacturing and production. On the other hand, the EU must ensure an economic environment in which producers will not suffer due to competitiveness in the global market. If this is controlled, we will see a stronger and greener Chemicals & Performance Materials industry by 2030.

Schenck Process has a long history of servicing and supporting companies in performance materials (plastics) and recycling industries with integrated material handling packages to deliver the highest product quality and maximum production flexibility.

Following the initial separation of usable plastics from contamination, Schenck Process systems can take the recyclable materials from grinding and classifying into the desired size, all the way to the extrusion process and beyond.

Precise and optimised feeding is key to successful and sustainable production. The SIMPLEX range of feeders are high-capacity stainless steel loss-in-weight feeders designed specifically for handling low bulk density materials with light and fluffy characteristics.

Featuring a bottom driven vertical agitator and an auxiliary agitator, SIMPLEX feeders are the perfect solution for feeding performance materials such as plastic flakes, cellulose, hemp, glass or carbon fibres or recycled materials.
