Decontamination, drying and crystallisation of PET

With the help of the Multi-Purpose Reactor MPR the feed material is decontaminated, pre dried and crystallised in a single step. The result in combination with a PET extruder is an end product that fulfils the requirements for direct food contact in accordance with Categories C-G as specified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In technical terms the patented MPR technology is based on the crystallisation dryers that have proven their merits time and time again as components of the VACUREMA PET extrusion systems. Washed PET bottle flakes, ground PET flat film waste or virgin PET material can be used as feed material. Mixtures of these materials can also be processed using the MPR.

  • Food-contact compliant end product according to Categories C-G of the FDA
  • Possible to process feed materials with fluctuating residual moisture

Economic benefits

  • NEW! ecoSAVE reduces energy consumption by up to 10% as well as production costs and CO2 emissions as a result
  • Easy to retrofit on existing PET extrusion plants
  • Energy requirement less than 0.1 kWh/kg
  • Compact, space-saving design
