Herbold Meckesheim, a global leader in plastic recycling technology, is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming K-Show 2025, taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany. Visitors can find Herbold in Hall 9, Booth 9B34, where the company will present a wide range of innovative solutions for size reduction, washing, separation, drying, and agglomeration of plastic waste.
One of the key highlights at the booth will be the world debut of the new T 150-300 Mechanical Dryer. Engineered for high throughput, this advanced dryer handles up to 2.5 tons/hour of film or 10 tons/hour of PET and rigid flakes. Its newly redesigned construction includes a rotating sieve basket with integrated spray nozzles for full coverage cleaning and a centrifugal drying chamber for rapid moisture removal. Built-in monitoring systems support predictive maintenance, while the hydraulically hinged housing ensures quick and easy access to internal components—significantly reducing maintenance time and improving operational efficiency.
Also on display will be the SMS 80-200 Granulator, the largest and most powerful unit in the SMS series. Designed for energy-efficient size reduction, it features double cross-cutting action, pre-adjustable rotor and bed knives, and a hinged housing for fast knife changes. The granulator’s forced feeding system, powered by three horizontally mounted screws, enables high-throughput processing of PET and rigid plastics—making it ideal for demanding large-scale recycling operations.
The SMS series is optimized for a diverse range of materials, capable of processing everything from standard recyclables to heavy lumps, tough fibers, and thin films with precision and consistency.
In addition to the main booth, attendees should plan to visit the Coperion and Herbold’s Recycling Pavilion in the Open Area (FG/CE07). It will feature a Herbold Hydrocyclone Separation Stage, a key component designed to deliver precise material separation through centrifugal forces, which can be seen together with a Coperion ZSK FilCo filtration compounder. Herbold’s hydrocyclone stage enhances the purification of plastics during recycling, extending equipment lifespan of downstream equipment and improving product quality.
The Hydrocyclone system provides a robust density separation and accommodates various application needs, providing additional washing and efficient impurity removal. The system includes capabilities for separating residual contaminants such as sand, glass, or metals using heavy medium cyclone technology and high turbulence washing. The system also includes a friction washer which is capable of removing paper and other fiber contaminants.
Herbold Meckesheim invites all K-Show attendees to visit Hall 9, Booth 9B34 and the Recycling Pavilion to explore these breakthrough recycling solutions and speak with experts about how the company’s equipment can support their sustainability and production goals.
