PET bottle-to-bottle recycling

Starlinger, Hall 8a Booth B66

To design the recycling process as efficient and energy-saving as possible has been one of the focal points in the technical development at Starlinger recycling technology for many years. The newly conceived PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system RecoStar PET art scores not only with 25% less energy consumption compared to the previous model, it also requires 46% less maintenance time, has a 21% smaller machine footprint, and a production output increase of 15%, according to Starlinger. In total, bottle-to-bottle recyclers can save about 21% in production cost with the new system.

One of the main changes in the new PET recycling system is the combination of the previously two separate drying units with a residence time of around one hour each into one larger unit with a residence time of two hours. In addition, there is no vacuum degassing required anymore. Both innovations contribute to reduce energy consumption and maintenance requirements of the new line significantly, says Starlinger.
