BENEFITS
1. Proven
The most proven and most widely sold recycling technology for the processing of PET waste. Over 120 systems are in use around the world, producing end products with an overall capacity of over 700,000 tons per year in a wide variety of application fields such as bottle-to-bottle, flat sheet, strapping, fibre, etc.
2. Extremely flexible
- Input material form variable: depending on the end application the system processes PET bottle flakes, ground amorphous skeleton waste/edge trim and virgin material (also in mixtures), i.e. bulk densities of 250 to 850 kg/m3.
- IV increase adjustable: depending on throughput and input material.
3. Highly efficient decontamination, ultra-low carbon footprint
The flakes are decontaminated quickly and efficiently. Specific energy consumption per kg of material processes is very low. The carbon footprint is reduced even further by ecoSAVE®.
4. Robust
The sturdy and robust VACUREMA single-screw technology with its extremely short extruder is insensitive to contamination solids and delivers sufficient melt pressure to meet the decisive quality criteria necessary for the fine filtration of solid matter.
5. Large area ultra-fine melt filtration
EREMA filter systems have very large active filter surfaces. This enables filtration with up to 32 μm fineness at low pressure. The result is highly clean repellets.
6. Pellets ideal for mixing with virgin material
Depending on the downstream equipment chosen the system produces cylindrical or ball shaped pellets with the same geometry as virgin material. This means, therefore, that repellets produced with VACUREMA technology require no adjustment of dryers, crystallisers and preform machines.
7. Fully automatic
The innovative process control system software enables extremely user-friendly and safe operation. Additionally, users benefit from start-up at the press of a button, fully automatic continuous operation, permanent monitoring for direct food contact (FCC) and the storage of relevant process parameters.
