Erema is expanding the portfolio of its ReadyMac plastics recycling system by introducing the new ReadyMac 500 "Heavy Duty" version. Thanks to the integration of the Erema Laserfilter, this universal and cost-effective recycling machine is now also suitable for processing demanding post-consumer materials.
"The updated ReadyMac has hit the mark in terms of market requirements and has exceeded our expectations, especially given the current economic environment," says Michael Köhnhofer, Head of the ReadyMac Business Unit at Erema. Based on this success, Erema is expanding the offering of its immediately available standard recycling machine with an attractive price-performance ratio: The new ReadyMac 500 Heavy Duty (HD) version is equipped with an Erema Laserfilter and designed specifically for challenging materials. It will be available from 1 April 2025 at a fixed price of EUR 440,000.
Proven Laserfilter technology
The new ReadyMac 500 HD with EremaLaserfilter is ideal for more heavily contaminated input streams. "Efficient filtration systems are essential to achieve the desired melt quality when processing highly contaminated materials. That’s why the ReadyMac is now also available with Laserfilter," explains Köhnhofer. The Erema Laserfilter reliably removes unwanted impurities such as paper, wood, aluminium, or foreign polymers from the plastic melt, while the screen is continuously cleaned by a scraper system. In addition to the new Laserfilter version, the ReadyMac 500 remains available with the proven SW RTF screen changer system at a fixed price of EUR 375,000. This gives customers the flexibility to choose the best solution for their specific recycling requirements.
Post-consumer recycling at an attractive price
With the launch of the ReadyMac 500 HD, Erema is expanding its standardised machine offering for cost-conscious companies operating in post-consumer recycling who do not require a customised system. This enables the ReadyMac to meet the needs of an even broader range of customers. With a throughput of 500 kilograms per hour, it also offers an ideal entry point into plastics recycling with an excellent price-performance ratio.
Availability and global service
"The ReadyMac 500 is an excellent choice for companies looking for an economical solution without compromising on quality or Erema’s renowned service," Köhnhofer emphasises. The standard machine features Erema’s proven TVE technology, in which degassing occurs after filtration. Customers also benefit from Erema’s comprehensive service offering, including fast spare parts supply, a global support team, professional commissioning, and extensive training options.
