GELIMAT
- Thermokinetic Mixing/Compounding Machine-
to Recycling Business

The recycling business has been receiving more and more attention from different industries as the cost of raw materials increase and environmental regulations get stronger than ever before to protect the globe. This basically pushes companies in plastic-based industries to save and reuse every little pound of materials that they process.

And, GELIMAT from DRAISWERKE enables companies to recycle and reuse the high cost ingredients with little work. GELIMAT is able to process most plastic materials with up to 90% filler degree in a matter of seconds while realizing huge savings in cost of production and time.

Reuse of recycled plastics as additives into wood products:

The extensive research and studies have shown that GELIMAT will open up the new age in wood industry. Extremely low cost recycled plastics are well mixed and further processed with wood flour/natural fibers and cellulose fibers by GELIMAT to manufacture building construction materials.

Gelimat, High Speed Thermokinetic Mixer/Compounder, is able to mix and compound polymers with different wood products in less than 30 seconds compared to longer processing times with conventional plastic processing equipment. Gelimat is also able to accommodate moisture content in the product whereas with the conventional systems you would need an additional drying system.

Gelimat will do everything that a twin screw extruder does except from shaping. Therefore, the only downstream equipment you would need after Gelimat is the shaping device such as Pelletizer or Short Barrel Extruder.

Shorter processing time, less maintenance requirements, low capital investment, better dispersion and mixing quality and fully automated process control will come along with the use of GELIMAT.

Gelimat is available from 1-liter lab unit to 250-liter production unit and 1-liter unit is available for customer testing at Draiswerke's Testing Center in Mahwah, NJ.
