Recycled PET drying technology
Eisbär Trockentechnik GmbH has been specialising in drying systems for many years. In the last five years, the company has gradually expanded its focus to include the drying of rPET, responding to the growing demand for sustainable and efficient recycling processes. Drying rPET presents challenges due to its higher moisture content and potential contaminants compared to virgin PET. Eisbär has developed drying technologies to address these challenges, ensuring that the recycled material meets the stringent quality standards required for further processing.
The company’s rPET drying systems incorporate several technological advancements. These include energy efficiency, where Eisbär utilises state-of-the-art heat recovery techniques and optimised drying processes to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, the systems are claimed to feature advanced process control, enabling precise monitoring and adjustment of drying parameters to ensure consistent and high-quality output. Scalability is another key feature, with Eisbär offering flexible solutions that can be tailored to different production volumes and specific customer requirements, making their systems versatile and adaptable. The demand for rPET drying solutions remains robust, reflecting the industry’s growing commitment to recycling and sustainability, says Eisbär.
