Gamma Meccanica, the Italian company renowned for designing and manufacturing advanced recycling lines since 1987, is preparing to unveil its latest innovation at K 2025. Known for its highly automated and energy-efficient technologies, Gamma Meccanica has once again raised the bar with its new Smart line and enhanced Tandem Smart solutions. These new systems reflect the company’ s commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability, performance, and user experience.
COMPACT, INTELLIGENT, AND READY FOR THE FUTURE The new SMART line is engineered to deliver maximum performance in a compact format. Designed with the operator in mind, it allows for intuitive operation: once the recipe and production rate are entered, the system manages all process parameters automatically. This dramatically simplifies use and reduces the margin of error. The compact design is one of its strongest assets: with reduced footprint and increased efficiency, the Smart line enables greater productivity even in limited spaces. The optimised layout also enhances accessibility, making all maintenance points easy to reach and reducing downtime.

SMART DESIGN FOR SPECIFIC PRO- CESS NEEDS The Smart line includes the option of an integrated by-pass on the feeding screw. This solution enables direct feeding of clean regrind without passing through the shredder— an efficient configuration for specific materials or production runs, helping reduce wear and simplify processing when preshredding is not required. Another notable detail is the independent bearing group from the shredder, designed to simplify maintenance: it enables faster disassembly without requiring intervention on the entire unit, reducing downtime and improving serviceability. Extensive in-house testing of the Smart 5 + DUO1750 configuration has shown excellent energy efficiency, achieving consumption as low as 0.21 – 0.28 kWh / kg depending on the material( e. g., post-consumer LDPE, PP nonwoven, HDPE flakes with CaCO 3
). These figures position the Smart line among the best-performing systems in its category.

NEXT-LEVEL DEGASSING AND DEO- DORISING At K 2025, Gamma Meccanica will also present its new evolved degassing system for the Tandem Smart lines— a patented solution with an extractable die slide. This innovation allows operators to clean the die without dismantling the system or turning off the temperature control, cutting downtime from 90 to 20 minutes. The newly engineered degassing chamber ensures more uniform vacuum flow and easier access for maintenance, while maintaining high efficiency in gas removal. In parallel, the system now includes an advanced deodorising module( also patented), which enables targeted gas treatment through additive injection( e. g., supercritical CO 2
) to reduce odours and contaminants.

by 3 – 4 dB), the TTA enables highquality pellet production across a full range of applications. Available in two models— TTA 10 for outputs up to 1000 kg / h and TTA 30 for up to 3000 kg / h— this cutting system ensures:
• Uniform cooling and granule residence time
• Stable pellet flow during immersion
• Rapid die changes
• Easy spare part management The TTA system is also fully compatible with various plastic materials, from LDPE to PP, further enhancing Gamma Meccanica’ s reputation for flexibility and technical excellence.
A STEP FORWARD IN DESIGN AND IN- TEGRATION The new lines feature a coherent and modern aesthetic that reflects the company’ s integrated design philosophy. Functionality, efficiency,
