Kitech Plastic Recycling System: A Cost-Effective Premium Alternative to EREMA Intarema Series
EREMA Intarema' s enduring market dominance stems from its sophisticated process design and robust equipment reliability. Featuring patented counter-current technology, integrated venting and filtration systems, and smart automation, the platform delivers efficient reprocessing for a full spectrum of waste plastics. Key strengths include superior melt homogeneity, high-precision contaminant filtration, consistent throughput, optimized energy usage and straightforward maintenance—setting the technical bar for premium recycling machinery and cementing its popularity among professional plastic recyclers.
As a specialist manufacturer focused on R&D and production of plastic recycling equipment, Kitech Machinery adopts European engineering standards and draws on industry-leading process expertise. We have refined and replicated top-tier process workflows to develop high-performance plastic waste recycling line that deliver equivalent performance to the EREMA Intarema series, at a far more competitive price point. Matching the Intarema range in core processes, operational performance, production specifications and final pellet quality, Kitech solutions have emerged as the go-to alternative for plastic recycling operators across Europe and America.
I. Full Performance Parity with EREMA Intarema Series
Kitech's plastic recycling system mirror the technical architecture of EREMA Intarema recycling lines, adopting the field-proven combined workflow: material pre-treatment → extrusion & melting → high-precision filtration → high-efficiency degassing. Our equipment matches the Intarema series in core functionality, application scope and final product specifications, enabling seamless drop-in replacement in existing production setups. The key performance highlights are detailed below:
1. Versatile Pre-Treatment for Challenging Feedstocks
Counter-Current technology is the cornerstone of EREMA Intarema's performance, and Kitech is among the first Chinese manufacturers to fully implement this proven technology. By reversing the rotational direction of material flow against the extruder feed direction, our system produces more consistent, uniform melt.
It reliably handles difficult-to-process materials including high-moisture plastic films, packaging films, mixed plastic waste, PET fibers and plastic flakes. This design resolves common pain points of conventional machinery: inconsistent melting, excessive residual moisture and erratic feeding. Throughput remains stable under all operating conditions, fully matching the Intarema series' advantages of broad material compatibility and sustained high output.
3. Water-Ring Pelletizing to Preserve Virgin-Like Material Properties
Our high-performance pelletizing unit is engineered to match EREMA's water-ring hot-cut system. The fully enclosed process consists of underwater die-face cutting, annular water cooling and automatic dewatering & screening.
Like the Intarema series, our pellets feature excellent roundness, smooth surface finish and uniform particle size. The low-temperature processing minimizes thermal degradation and black speck formation. The system supports 24/7 continuous high-volume production, with automation levels, maintenance requirements and energy consumption aligned closely with EREMA's original design—creating a perfect balance of premium quality and cost efficiency.
4. Intelligent Automation for Easy Operation & Low Maintenance
Benchmarked against EREMA's Smart Start control system, Kitech is equipped with our in-house developed full-auto PLC control platform. It integrates one-touch start/stop, automatic temperature regulation, onboard fault diagnosis, energy consumption tracking, throughput reporting and remote monitoring capabilities.
The intuitive interface lowers operator training costs, and no specialized senior maintenance staff is required. With high operational stability and low failure rates, maintenance costs and unplanned downtime are comparable to premium EREMA recycling machine, making our lines ideal for large-scale continuous industrial production.
5. Energy & Water Saving Design for Controlled Long-Term OPEX
Adopting the same energy-efficient design principles as EREMA, our recycling system uses vacuum pump circulation tanks to combine vacuum degassing and cooling water circulation. Warm process water from pelletizing is cooled and recirculated, cutting water usage and operational expenses. A dedicated water filtration unit also prevents clogging within the water-ring pelletizing system.
To further reduce capital expenditure for plant owners, Kitech has developed a 5G single-stage high-quality pelletizing line. This innovative unit consolidates traditional two-stage pelletizing workflows into a single machine, cutting floor space requirements by approximately 30% and offering greater flexibility for production line layout.
II. Unmatched Cost-Performance: Premium Quality at 50% Lower CAPEX
Thanks to its iconic industry reputation, the EREMA Intarema series, a renowned plastic recycling equipment lineup, carries a premium price tag, resulting in substantial upfront capital investment and long-term maintenance costs for plastic recycling businesses. This creates significant financial pressure, especially for small-to-medium enterprises and companies undertaking large-scale production expansions and upgrades of their recycling pelletizing equipment.
Leveraging independent technological innovation, optimized labor costs and mature domestic supply chain resources in China, Kitech Machinery delivers high-performance plastic reprocessing equipment with full performance, pellet quality, operational reliability and service life equivalent to EREMA Intarema, while slashing customers' capital expenditure by half.
Beyond competitive procurement costs for our professional plastic recycling equipment, we provide comprehensive after-sales support: on-site technical support and troubleshooting from our local service teams, lifetime supply of spare parts at cost price, and permanently archived technical documentation for all units of our industrial recycling pelletizing equipment.
III. Tailored for Modern Market Demands: The Ideal Import Equipment Alternative
The global plastic recycling industry is evolving toward higher product quality, larger production scales and tighter cost control. Recyclers are challenged to produce premium recycled pellets for high-end applications while keeping equipment investment in check and maximizing project ROI.
While EREMA Intarema delivers uncompromising quality, its high purchase cost puts it out of reach for many operators. Kitech's regranulation systems directly address this industry dilemma, bridging the gap between premium quality and affordability.
Our lines are fully compatible with the process workflows and material ranges of EREMA Intarema, producing pellets that rival European-made equipment. The output is well-suited for high-end applications including injection molding, fiber extrusion and film blowing. Meanwhile, our significant cost advantage lowers market entry barriers and boosts overall project return on investment.
