Meeting the needs of an ever-evolving sector
PET Solutions, which is part of the Pegaso Industries group, provides advanced technologies for the PET and rPET industry. It states that its range of products, including dryers, hoppers, dosing units, mould dryers, and conveyor belts, offer efficient, sustainable recycling solutions.
The combination of advanced technologies, such as the DRV continuous vacuum dryers, precision gravimetric dosing units, and efficient recycling lines, provides companies in the sector with essential tools to optimise processes and ensure high product quality, says PET Solutions.
Dryers
The company’s latest, patented, dryer model, the DRV continuous vacuum dryer series, has been developed to optimise production processes when handling recycled PET. It has been designed for simpler maintenance and with a much faster product switching – the company claims a 66% reduction in material changeover time.
Its improved efficiency, maintenance and operation are achieved by a design that eliminates residual contaminants from recycled plastic without the need for an oil condenser. Moisture is removed through a dedicated vacuum pump, so molecular sieves are not required.
Hoppers
The maintenance of constant temperature and uniform flow of resins to the production process are essential for quality output. PET Solutions hoppers’ thermal insulation reduces energy consumption and improves process stability. Their modular designs make them adaptable to different production needs and the construction materials have been selected to make the machines sturdy and durable.
Dosing units
PET Solutions offers gravimetric and volumetric dosing units that enable the accurate mixing of multiple materials. The DGB gravimetric dosing unit series can manage up to eight materials simultaneously, along with uniform mixing and constant process monitoring. Dosing precision is maintained at high levels thanks to dual load cells and automatic process control reduces scope for human error. The DGB series can be easily integrated with existing automation systems.
Mould dryers
The DSH series can keep moulds dry even in high humidity environments, helping to prevent condensation formation and thus reducing surface defects. Advanced refrigeration technology improves efficiency, delivering energy savings of up to 66%, compared to rotor technology.
Conveyor belts and soft drop
PET Solutions has developed a line of Soft Drop machines, which are designed to gently deposit preforms from the press into storage boxes, preserving their physical and aesthetic integrity while delivering preforms to the conveyor systems. Their modular design means they can be adapted to a wide range of plants, while their high efficiency motors reduce energy consumption – and therefore save costs – and wear-resistant materials used in construction offer durability.
Recycling lines
PET Solutions has developed a range of recycling lines and solutions for processing PET waste, enabling the reuse of material for production of high-quality recycled PET, ready for use. The company says that the lines offer high recycling systems and efficient waste management, with advanced filtration systems that ensure purity in recycled PET. They are designed to make a significant contribution to waste reduction and towards the development of the circular economy.
PET Solutions continues to invest in research and development to meet new market challenges, capable of anticipating the needs of an ever-evolving sector.
