37 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 01+02/25 www.petpla.net Krones Recycling: New compact configuration available From bales to food-grade flakes: the portfolio of Krones Recycling GmbH, based in Flensburg, Germany, covers the entire plastics recycling process. The modules for grinding, washing, sorting and decontamination are available both individually and as complete recycling systems. The heart of every Krones recycling system is the washing module, which has a major influence on the quality of the flakes. In addition to gentle processing for low-fines production, the machines and lines are also designed for efficient and sustainable use of energy and resources. A new, more compact configuration of this washing module now offers customers a recycling process that is just as gentle on materials and resources. Made of the usual high-quality stainless-steel, but with a significantly smaller footprint at capacities of 2 to 3mt/h - ideal for sites with less available space or for retrofitting. This configuration produces an even lower amount of fines. As with other configurations, the module can be used flexibly for both PET and PO recycling. Thanks to consistently high wash quality standards, it can also be used for bottle-to-bottle processes. The global service and sales network of Krones Recycling and Krones AG ensures local support. At Chinaplas 2025, Krones Recycling will be showcasing this innovation for the first time, and inviting visitors to the German Pavilion to discuss the compact configuration and other innovations in plastics recycling. www.krones.com Swiss quality for PET preform production Following its successful participation in previous years, Otto Hofstetter AG will again be exhibiting at Chinaplas 2025. The Swiss family-owned company is well known in the development and manufacture of PET preform moulds. In over forty years, the company has built up extensive expertise in PET preform processes and technology. The experts at the high performance mouldmaker share their knowledge throughout the entire production process, from the initial idea, through preform design and sampling, to mould manufacture and final product quality assurance. Thanks to this process, every customer can benefit from an efficient design process, producing high-quality, cost-effective PET preforms and realising long-term savings in high-volume production, says the company. At the trade show, Otto Hofstetter AG will present its complete portfolio of high-quality injection moulds to industry professionals.
