From October 15 to 19, 2024, Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen GmbH (NGR) showcased its latest developments in plastics recycling at Fakuma in Friedrichshafen. The focus was on the new Glass Fiber Package, a specially designed solution for processing glass fiber-reinforced injection molding production waste. This was complemented by NGR’s 360° service, providing customers with comprehensive support throughout the entire lifecycle of their machines.
Customized machine packages for specific material requirements
A highlight at this year’s Fakuma was the new Fiber Package for NGR’s shredder-feeder-extruder combination, which integrates shredding, feeding, and extruding into a single process with NGR’s proven One-Step technology.
The new Fiber Package, specifically developed for processing glass fiber-reinforced plastic waste, optimizes the machine to meet the unique material requirements, ensuring highly efficient efficient wear-resistant processing.
“Our goal is to provide application-oriented solutions that focus on our customers’ needs and deliver the best possible results,” explains Creighton Varney, Product Manager for PIR at NGR. “The new Fiber Package includes key components such as specially adapted screws, barrels, and shredder rotor configurations. Additional features like optimized dust reduction and integrated strand pelletizing complete the package.”
The Fiber Package is the first of several planned option packages that NGR has newly developed. These packages enhance the base machine with proven, application-specific components that have been shown to be highly efficient in many installations. This allows customers to easily and quickly adapt their machines to their specific requirements, increase productivity, minimize wear costs, reduce maintenance, and sustainably optimize their investment by improving operational efficiency.
Using advanced analysis methods and incorporating feedback from NGR’s in-house Polymer Analytics Centre, we ensure that customers' specific needs are met with tailor-made configurations, tested at our Demonstration Centre.
360°-Service: Comprehensive support and maximization of machine performance
In addition, NGR is presenting an expanded 360°-Service offering in Friedrichshafen, covering the entire lifecycle of its machines. From commissioning and regular maintenance to upgrades, spare parts supply, and customized training, NGR ensures that its customers’ machines deliver peak performance at all times. The 360°-Service ensures that the equipment stays up to date with the latest technology and its efficiency is maximized throughout its operational lifespan.
“Our 360° service is key to the long-term efficiency and reliability of our machines. With customized service offerings, preventive maintenance, and immediate support both remotely and on-site, we maximize machine uptime and minimize downtime,” emphas Peter Wagner, Service Director at NGR.
