K 2025 - Plasmaq

João Lagoa from Plasmaq (Portugal) spoke about the family company’s 33-year history in the recycling industry. Plasmaq supplies complete washing lines – from the guillotine to the final silo feeding downstream processes. At K 2025, the company highlighted its key innovation, the Plascompact, a screw press designed for the drying phase of the washing cycle. The system stabilizes moisture and density, ensuring consistent material conditions and higher throughput in extrusion. Lagoa emphasized that the K show is a vital event for anyone in the plastics industry – a place to exchange knowledge, connect globally, and advance sustainability and recycling technologies.
