TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 48 PET planet insider Vol. 17 No. 03/16 www.petpla.net Gneuß Booth E1C21 Direct reuse of fibre and fibre waste Gneuss will be showing the latest generation of its Multi Rotation System extrusion technology. The MRS extrusion technology is said to be established as one of the key technologies for processing PET reclaim without pre-drying. Even fibre coated with spin finish oils and other contaminants and with a high residual moisture level can be fed directly without any pre-treatment into the extruder where the material is plasticised, devolatil- ised and decontaminated. The material’s intrinsic viscos- ity is said to be consistent even when different moistures are employed. Thanks to the patented combination of single screw extruder with a multiple screw section, it is claimed that the extruder is sturdy and well suited for recycling applications. Depending on the feed product and the requirements profile, the shredding, compacting and extruding seg- ments are brought together to form an industrial waste recycling system in modular design. The process for feeding into the extruder is selected individually for every type of waste produced. The MRS removes moisture, spinning oils or other adhering volatile components and solid contaminants are removed in the subsequent filtra- tion, with the result that the melt produced comes close to having the properties of new product. A self-cleaning, process-constant and pressure-con- stant Rotary Filtration System RSFgenius 75 will be on display at the show. www.gneuss.com MRS extrusion system with Multi Rotation Extruder MRS, Rotary Filtration System RSFgenius, Online Viscometer VIS
