At the K 2016 show Erema will be building on the success of its Intarema technology presented in 2013, this time with its trade fair theme of  ‘Careformance – We care about your performance’ to grow its pioneering role this year with Industry 4.0 applications. “Building on the high degree of automation of the Intarema systems we have developed a Smart Factory package which enables us to give our customers a clear competitive edge and make them fit for the future,” says Erema CEO Manfred Hackl. The company will be recycling the plastic waste of the K show on site at the Careformance Recycling Centre in the outdoor area of the trade fair, with machine, quality and process data being transferred in real time to Erema’s Stand C05 in Hall 9.

The recovery of cut grass, algae and leftovers and byproducts of industrial processing to use in the making of new things recognizes the value and increases the worth of what is naturally occurring and manmade – sound reasons for thinking in circles. The term ‘circular economy’ has become fundamentally important in the lexicon of business and industry across the UK and Europe. Without meaning to alarm readers, to put into practice what it stands for – to embrace the notion of circularity for better management of finite and valuable resources, and also its complexity – has reached a level of urgency that cannot be ignored.

Hunkeler Systeme will present a complete system solution to rapidly remove all production waste with a proper extraction, shredding and compacting process at drupa 2016 (Hall 2 Stand B14). In the Müller Martini stand there are cut-offs, trimmed waste and dust from six saddle-stitcher and perfect-binders to properly evacuate and compact bales for transport. Production waste-systems from Hunkeler Systeme are all working with negative pressure from the point of collecting on to the end of the process. In addition, the line is equipped with both the Energy Saving System (ESS) and with the Automatic Switch Off System (ASA). Both systems allow energy savings up to 40% of the total consumption and are only active when the suction system is needed.
