The '''recoSTAR PET''' series is designed for the recycling of post-consumer bottle flakes after the washing process as well as for the in-house recycling of PET flakes from bottles, preforms, strapping bands and sheets. The end product is always melt-filtrated, uniform granulate that can be used for a wide range of applications.

PET flakes are also a valuable secondary resource for strapping bands, which can be made from up to 100 % recycling PET (rPET). In order to meet the high intrinsic viscosity (IV) required, the material undergoes a solid state polycondensation (SSP) process with the Starlinger iV+ technology. | PET flakes are also a valuable secondary resource for strapping bands, which can be made from up to 100 % recycling PET (rPET).

For both lines high process reliability is ensured through sophisticated line control, for example one button start/stop as well as standby mode for in-line application. Constant high pellet quality and advantageous investment costs are ensured. | For both lines high process reliability is ensured through sophisticated line control, for example one button start/stop as well as standby mode for in-line application.
