The HV 70 plastcompactor from Herbold Meckesheim processes a wide variety of materials into products of high bulk density in continuous operation between one rotating and one fixed compactor disk, each equipped with screwed-on and easily replaceable kneading bars. Since the material leaves the compactor zone within fractions of a second, the thermal impact upon the plastic is very low. The process is regulated using two parameters – the screw speed and the distance between the disks.
