Testimonials

“We are really satisfied with the new granulators from HERBOLD Meckesheim. We do now achieve a 30 % higher throughput with the same energy consumption compared to previous grinders – even with a smaller grinding chamber. Furthermore, the granulators are more stable and the feeding of parts is better: Both the quality and the better price-performance ratio of HERBOLD Meckesheim convinced us”

Daniela Teich, Plant Manager
Aurora Kunststoffe GmbH

 

“Our decision for two hydrocyclone separation steps from Herbold Meckesheim really has paid off. Separation tanks are a thing of the past. The result: longer time periods before the screens of the extruder have to be changed and a considerably better quality of film flakes. Cleanness and sorting accuracy in regard to wood, paper and foreign plastics are really convincing, without ifs or buts.“

Jörg Schneeberger CEO
Walter Kunststoffe GmbH (WKR)

 

“We had the choice between several suppliers for our PET bottle to bottle plastics recycling plant. We decided to purchase our equipment from HERBOLD in Germany. The excellent after-sales team was the deciding reason we chose to work with HERBOLD. They bridged a distance of more than 5,000 miles and helped my staff get moving quickly and helped us start production and maintain the system. HERBOLD offers simply the best technology for size reduction, washing, separation, and drying of PET bottles.“
