Recycling machine for post-consumer PET
Gneuss, W5181
Gneuss will show a complete Omni recycling machine featuring a Multi Rotation System MRS 130 extruder, a water ring pump vacuum system, a fully automatic melt filtration system RSFgenius 150 and an online Viscometer VIS. This machine is designed for the processing of up to 1,000 kg/h (2,200 lbs/h) of undried and uncrystallised polyester (PET) reclaim.
The line on display in Orlando will be delivered to a customer in Peru after the show to process rPET into a thermoforming sheet.
In addition to its compact design, which requires little space and can therefore usually be easily integrated into existing premises, the Omni is flexible in use. The fully automated control of vacuum, extruder, dosing, degassing dwell time and filter exchange provides a consistent quality of the end product. With the tight and varying materials market, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to produce regardless of the properties of the input materials, especially in the case of varying and uncertain input qualities in the future.
Gneuss says, that the compact design results in low energy consumption. Any energy used in the extrusion process is designed to be used in the next process step. This not only has a noticeable effect on electricity and gas consumption, but also significantly reduces the CO2 footprint of the recycling process.
