footprint with high productivity, reaching outputs of up to 700 kg / h. Particular attention has been devoted to energy efficiency. New water-cooled motors, a thermally insulated barrel and several engineering improvements contribute to lower energy consumption while ensuring outstanding process stability and consistent pellet quality. The modular dosing system provides maximum flexibility in handling virgin resin, regrind and additives, making colour changes and production adjustments faster and easier. Among the major innovations is the new Smart software, developed to automate line start-up and assist operators throughout the production process.“ Artificial intelligence and digitalisation are be-
coming part of our industry as well. Our goal is to provide operators with tools that help them consistently achieve high product quality while simplifying process management”. Beyond automation, Gamma Meccanica has also focused on operator safety and workplace cleanliness. New intelligent safety systems and dust reduction solutions contribute to making the line safer, cleaner and more comfortable to operate. The same machine configuration is also available in larger sizes to meet different production requirements.
TTA: A NEW GENERATION OF PELLETIZING TECH- NOLOGY Among the company’ s recent innovations is the new TTA- Top ring pelletizer. Compact, precise and exceptionally quiet, the system reduces noise levels by approximately 3-4 dB, while ensuring superior pellet quality through uniform cooling and consistent pellet residence time during processing. The line-up includes the TTA 10, designed for production capacities up to 1,000 kg / h, while the larger TTA 30 model reaches capacities of up to 3,000 kg / h. The system offers several operational advantages, including uniform pellet cooling, stable pellet flow during immersion, fast die change and simplified spare parts management. Compatible with a wide range of polymers, from LDPE to PP, the TTA further strengthens Gamma Meccanica’ s reputation for flexibility and technical excellence.
A CUSTOMER-DRIVEN PHILOSOPHY While technology represents the visible result of Gamma Meccanica’ s innovation, the company’ s true strength remains its close relationship with customers.“ There is no single secret behind our success.
Gamma Meccanica has always been a highly technical company, built by working side by side with our customers. Italian flexibility continues to be one of our greatest competitive advantages”. This philosophy translates into continuous investment in research and development, advanced laboratory facilities and the ability to tailor solutions to the real production needs of recyclers. In a market where materials, regulations and customer requirements evolve rapidly, Gamma Meccanica continues to focus on three fundamental principles: flexibility, innovation and customer partnership.
LOOKING AHEAD For Gamma Meccanica, the future of plastics recycling is not simply about building increasingly efficient machines. It is about developing technologies that simplify operators’ work, reduce energy consumption and help customers successfully meet the challenges of an increasingly complex market. The company also places strong value on training and knowledge transfer, regularly welcoming technical school students and young engineers to introduce them to engineering, plastics recycling and industrial innovation.
