About ABraWi
ABraWi is an industrial agency founded in 2003 and based in Wipperfürth in the Bergisches Land region. Owner Axel Brandenburg brings more than 30 years of experience in the plastics processing industry and automation technology. The company sells machines and systems for the peripherals of injection moulding and extrusion, including dry-air and vacuum dryers, dosing units, conveying equipment, beside-the-press and central granulators, mixing nozzles, granulate containers and silos, separators, metal separators, temperature control units as well as transport and bunker systems. The partner manufacturers include, among others, Labotek, Maguire, Promix Solutions and MB Conveyors. In addition to sales, ABraWi offers consulting, problem solving, project planning and the provision of machines and systems from its own warehouse. Thanks to its central location in North Rhine-Westphalia, customers in NRW are served.

Products and Processes
Drying (dry-air/vacuum drying)
Dry-air dryers with dew point down to -40 °C for hygroscopic plastic granulates; vacuum dryers with reduced energy consumption.
Dosing (volumetric/gravimetric)
Direct and batch dosing of granulate and masterbatch for injection moulding and extrusion.
Conveying
Compressed-air, vacuum, splitter and powder conveying up to 3000 kg/h as well as flakes transport for recycling material.
Granulating (beside-the-press and central granulators)
Size reduction of plastic, rubber and edge trim for reuse.
Mixing and mixing nozzles
Tumble and granulate mixers as well as static mixing nozzles for homogeneous melt in injection moulding and extrusion.
Separating and metal separation
Belt, screw and drum separators as well as magnetic separators and metal detectors to ensure purity.
Granulate storage and feeding
Silos, flexible silos, containers made of stainless steel, aluminium and plastic as well as big bag handling.
Temperature control
Temperature control units with water up to 160 °C and heat transfer oil up to 300 °C.
Transport and buffering
Flat, angled and Z transport belts as well as bunker systems for plastic and metal parts.
Automation
