The Spanish recycling company Anviplas has been involved in plastics recycling for more than 30 years
during which time it has built up extensive know-how that now benefits customers throughout Europe
Their cooperation with Erema is almost as long
Anviplas has relied on the technology and service provided by the Austrian recycling machine manufacturer
“Erema machines have delivered excellent results at our company over all these years
Even on particularly challenging projects,” says Anviplas CEO Aleix Vintró
who took over the business from his father Joan
who founded the company together with Aleix’ grandfather and uncle
He highlights the recycling of barrier film as an example
which consists of three different layers of material
Anviplas recycles post-industrial and post-consumer plastic waste
to make recycled pellets in all colour variations
The production capacity is 1,800 tonnes per month
An Erema type Intarema 1716 TVEplus recycling machine with screen changer is in operation at the site in Navarcles (Barcelona) for processing the PP material stream
This patented extruder system was developed for handling difficult-to-process materials
such as heavily printed films as well as very moist waste
This machine is characterised by its optimised 3-stage degassing system; firstly by preheating and predrying the material in the preconditioning unit
secondly because the screw design allows reverse degassing
and thirdly in the degassing zone of the extruder
filtered and homogenised material can pass through the degassing zone,” explains Jan Stöger
Anviplas customers manufacture a huge bandwidth of products made using their recycled pellets
All these applications require recycled pellets that meet the highest quality specifications
“That is precisely our strength,” says Aleix Vintró
“We produce the highest possible quality recyclate
because we want to continue to offer our customers products that optimally meet their needs and open up business opportunities that are cost effective and environmentally sound.” That is why Anviplas is currently working intensively on improving the recycling process for complex multilayer materials
a pan-European platform for LDPE recycling
that Repeats has made an investment in the Spanish recycling company
For Repeats this investment in Anviplas represents an important step in building a pan-European plastics recycling platform
the Company plans to nearly double its production capacity to meet the growing demand for recycled LDPE in Europe
Aleix Vintró will continue to lead the Spanish operations and expansion plans going forward
Step by step it irradiates its influence all around until specific spaces for practice have been added in many more cities
Although segregation is still tending to avoid the supposed conflict between the skater and the users of the urban space
the new spaces advocate the meeting between them
with projects more and more interesting and urban
