The conical screw of the SIKOPLAST recycling machines can offer energetic advantages compared to other concepts such as recycling plants with cutter compactors, which operate with 2 drive motors. Especially if the input material is already in pre-shredded form, the advantages clearly lie with the SIKOPLAST recycling machine, which are operated with 1 drive motor.
Since the end of 2022 (or beginning of 2023), the SIKOPLAST extruders will be equipped with high-quality special ceramic heating bands, which reduce the heat loss in the heating phase due to their special design feature.
