Inoplast, founded in 2010, specialises in recycling plastics of all kinds. The main focus is on the contract treatment of production wastes, where the expanding company recycles its customers’ plastic scrap and makes it available again as high-quality recycled material.
Inoplast MD Alexander Müller said: “In this market characterised by growth, it is important for us to work not only economically but also ecologically, and to conserve resources. We were more than convinced by the fact that the plant is more in line with our requirements, the outstanding expertise of the ips team in the recycling branch, and the ‘Made in Germany’ quality.”
Gerald Weis, Owner and Managing Partner of ips, added: “The ips underwater strand pelletising plant has been designed particularly for the special requirements of PET and PA recycling.”
This is demonstrated by the sturdy construction, layout and design of the plant, including the strand feed with rounded start-up head and flexibly adjustable extrusion heights, and the hinged spray nozzle unit. The cutting gap consistency required is achieved through simple adjustment options. All plant parts are mounted on a joint machine frame. The plant achieves a throughput of up to 1,500kg per hour with outstanding granulate quality.
Weis continued: “Thanks to the modular product system, we can respond to the individual wishes of our customers and tailor the system ‘customised’ exactly to their needs.”
Parallel to production, ips in Niedernberg also has a large warehouse for spare and wear parts. Immediately after the order is placed, the required parts are dispatched and are where they are needed by the next day at the latest.
