HV compactor gains improved auger

Nov. 16, 2016
The compactors, which are available in three sizes, can process as much as 3,000 pounds per hour.

HV Plastcompactor Densifier Herbold Meckesheim has updated its HV Plastcompactor Densifier with a new optional force-feed mechanism. The compactors, which are available in three sizes, can process as much as 3,000 pounds per hour. They are equipped with rotating and fixed-compaction discs with screw-mounted, replaceable kneading rails; the discs provide rapid heating of pre-granulated material.

What's new? An improved auger for the force-feed mechanism of the compactors, which Herbold Meckesheim touted at the K show.

Benefits Better material feeding, with a more consistent flow. The new force-feed mechanism provides improved performance, especially with low-bulk-density materials.
