About us
Herbold Meckesheim is a leading recycling specialist and produces machines and plants for processing pure plastic waste as well as used, mixed and contaminated plastics. The company belongs to Hillenbrand, Inc., and is part of the Recycling Business Unit of Coperion (www.coperion.com), which offers complete solutions for plastics recycling. More than 260 employees at the headquarters in Meckesheim and the staff of the international agencies accompany custom-made plants and machinery from the conception stage through commissioning to the end of their commercial use. Herbold’s product range includes shredders, granulators and pulverizers as well as plastcompactors for agglomeration, but especially washing and separation systems with pre-sorting, wet shredding, pre-washing units, wet granulators, friction washers, hot washing and hydrocyclone stages, mechanical and thermal dryers, and furthermore water processing. The components and modular system solutions are tested in the company's own technical center.

Products & Services
Washing Lines for Plastic Waste
We provide advanced machines and systems for washing, separation, and drying of used, contaminated, and mixed plastics. Our solutions transform waste—often pressed into bales—into clean, pure, and dry regrind or flakes, ready for densification, re-extrusion, or injection molding.
Our modular washing lines are carefully designed to progressively improve the quality of flakes at each stage, minimizing energy consumption and reducing fresh water usage. Whether you need a simple wet shredding setup or a comprehensive turnkey industrial washing line, we have the right solution for your needs.
The main areas of application for our washing lines are:
Agricultural films
Packaging films
Stretch films
PP tape bags (big-bags, raffia)
PET bottles
Bottles made of polyolefins
Fruit, vegetable and bottle crates
Hard plastics of all types
Plastics from car recycling
Waste from electrical devices (WEEE)
Containers and barrels
Old PVC windows
Battery cases
We understand service as more than just maintenance and repair. Rather, we dedicate ourselves daily to demonstrating our reliability, efficiency and expertise to give our customers a competitive edge in difficult markets.
We provide service and spare parts for these machines – also available at short notice. Knives, screen inserts, pulverizing discs, hammers, bearings, V-belts or conveyor belts – Herbold Meckesheim keeps a comprehensive stock of spare parts and wear parts. We also carry out overhauls and repairs – no matter whether your machine has broken down due to entry of a foreign body or by wear in long-term operation.
Our service technicians are available to work on-site on your premises. They install and commission the machines and systems supplied by us. They also support your personnel in the maintenance and repair of the machines.
Plastcompactor HV for Densification
The HV plastcompactor is a compactor for the densification of regrind of low bulk density, in particular shavings, foam, fibres and film – available in three sizes.
The agglomerate thus has a higher bulk density than the source material. It has good flow characteristics and can be extruded or injection-moulded without forced feeding. In mixing silos, e.g. after film washing lines, densified material gives higher amounts of material in a mixing batch, thus producing a more even mixture.
Mechanical Dryer T 150-300 for Demanding Processes
Our latest innovation: the Mechanical Dryer T 150-300. It sets a new standard in modern drying technology with its completely new redesign for large-capacities reaching throughputs of up to 2.5 tons of film per hour.
The T 150-300 dryer is ideal for demanding industrial processes. Key features include a rotating sieve basket that performs full-coverage cleaning with integrated water spray nozzles, ensuring consistent surface cleanliness, and a centrifugal drying chamber that accelerates moisture removal efficiently.
The machine's construction allows easy maintenance, with hydraulically hinged housing for quick access, and advanced monitoring systems supporting predictive maintenance.
The T 150-300 is the ideal high-capacity dry cleaner, effectively removing fibers and particles.
Hydrocyclone Separation Stage
Unlike traditional swim-sink tanks, the Hydrocyclone Stage uses powerful centrifugal forces to achieve a precise separation of materials.
Exchangeable nozzle sizes allow fine-tuning for optimal results, while high turbulence and friction create an additional washing effect. Its advanced design thus not only improves the purity of recycled plastics, but also extends the lifespan of downstream equipment, reducing operational costs.
The Hydrocyclone adapts to various applications, delivering cleaner output and more efficient processing.
SMS Series Granulators – High-Performance Solutions for Demanding Applications
The SMS series comprises robust machines designed for challenging tasks such as size reduction of heavy lumps, tough fibers, ultra-thin films, or large material volumes.
Available as washing granulators, SMS models can process contaminated plastics by granulating them with water. The friction generated during this process ensures effective cleaning, combining washing and shredding into a single step.
We manufacture machines with working widths from 500 to 2000 millimeters and drive motors ranging from 22 to 250 kilowatts. The SMS series is ideal for recycling operations, offering versatility to smoothly switch between granulating high-volume hollow materials, thick-walled panels, or lumps—all with high performance.
Optionally, machines can be equipped with steel plating. Custom options include replaceable wear plates on top of the granulator, replaceable stator knife supports, and screwed, wear-resistant rotor knife support plates—all made from durable materials with the appropriate hardness and toughness to ensure long service life.
