From 2025, EU countries will have to collect used textiles and clothing separately, which increases the need for efficient recycling processes and shredding technology for the production of refuse-derived fuels.
The Wittmann Group will showcase energy-efficient injection molding technology, robots and auxiliaries at Plast Eurasia 2025 in Istanbul, including the new all-electric EcoPrimus and a SmartPower machine with integrated automation.
Moretto has launched Hyper Cut, a plastics grinder available in two models with capacities up to 1,200 kg/h. The system features configurable rotors, 280 rpm operation and options for dust-free material handling.
At K 2025, Lindner introduced the fourth-generation Micromat stationary single-shaft shredder, featuring a 97% efficient synchronous reluctance drive and a configurable multicut rotor for fast knife changes and broad material flexibility.
Family-owned KVZ Hintermayr has commissioned a Vecoplan VIZ 1700 shredder at its Wertingen plant to increase throughput and flexibility in processing diverse plastic waste. The HiTorc drive and VSC system are intended to cut energy consumption and support stable extruder line operation.
Vecoplan has introduced the Vecoplan Intelligent Detect module, a self-learning vibration system integrated with the Vecoplan Smart Center. The company reports up to 60 percent lower damage risk and reduced delays in shredding operations.
KVZ Hintermayr has installed a Vecoplan VIZ 1700 shredder to handle a diverse mix of plastics and align shredding capacity with a new extrusion line. The system targets high availability, low operating costs and energy savings, supported by the HiTorc drive and the VSC digitalisation suite.
Pure Loop will debut DynaShape, an intelligent automation package for the Isec evo shredder‑extruder, at K 2025. The company reports up to 10 percent higher productivity and more consistent quality when feed material shape or bulk density varies.
Together with its subsidiary Pla.to, Vecoplan is expanding its dry-cleaning technology offering, from shredding to washing, preparing fractions for mechanical and chemical recycling. The company will present its largest dry-cleaning system to date at K.
Wittmann will debut the S-Max primus screenless granulator at K 2025, Hall 15, Booth B22. The low-speed unit for in-line recycling beside injection molding machines will be available from mid-October 2025 in two variants designated 2 and 3.
No other material is under as much pressure worldwide as plastic. Stricter regulations, rising energy and raw material costs and increasingly ambitious targets in the circular economy are presenting processors and recyclers with growing challenges.
Moretto, a leading company in the sector, has grown through continuous product innovation, a strong focus on customer needs and a strategic vision capable of understanding the challenges of the market.
