EREMA’s new standardized machine now features Laserfilter
EREMA is expanding the portfolio of its ReadyMac plastics recycling system by introducing
the new ReadyMac 500 “Heavy Duty” version. Thanks to the integration of the EREMA
Laserfilter, this universal and cost-effective recycling machine is now also suitable for
processing demanding post-consumer materials.
“The updated ReadyMac has hit the mark in terms of market
requirements and has exceeded our expectations, especially given the current economic
environment,” says Michael Köhnhofer, Head of the ReadyMac Business Unit at EREMA. Based on
this success, EREMA is expanding the offering of its immediately available standard recycling
machine with an attractive price-performance ratio: The new ReadyMac 500 Heavy Duty (HD)
version is equipped with an EREMA Laserfilter and designed specifically for challenging materials.
It will be available from 1 April 2025 at a fixed price of EUR 440,000..

At Propak in Johannesburg in mid-March, EREMA presented the ReadyMac for the first time to the African market. Michael Köhnhofer, Head of the ReadyMac Business Unit, was delighted with the high level of interest. Just in time for the Plastics Recycling Show Europe, EREMA is now announcing the new version designed for especially challenging materials.
The new ReadyMac 500 HD with EREMA Laserfilter is ideal for more heavily contaminated input
streams. The EREMA Laserfilter reliably removes unwanted impurities such
as paper, wood, aluminium, or foreign polymers from the plastic melt, while the screen is
continuously cleaned by a scraper system. In addition to the new Laserfilter version, the
ReadyMac 500 remains available with the proven SW RTF® screen changer system at a fixed price
of EUR 375,000. This gives customers the flexibility to choose the best solution for their specific
recycling requirements.
With the launch of the ReadyMac 500 HD, EREMA is expanding its standardised machine offering
for cost-conscious companies operating in post-consumer recycling who do not require a customised
system. This enables the ReadyMac to meet the needs of an even broader range of customers. With a throughput of 500 kilograms per hour, it also offers an ideal entry point into plastics recycling with an excellent price-performance ratio.
