PET flakes are heated and dried in a two-stage process by means of hot air and dry air, or under vacuum '''([http://www.starlinger.com/fileadmin/user_upload/03_recycling_technology/recoSTAR_PET/FB_en/index.html Brochure recoSTAR PET])'''. The special design of the dryer outlet results in center flow prevention, consistent residence time and FIFO processing. This ensures decontamination for food contact applications and ideal preparation for the extrusion process with maintained IV level ('''recoSTAR PET FG''') or with IV increase ('''recoSTAR PET FG+'''). | PET flakes are heated and dried in a two-stage process by means of hot air and dry air, or under vacuum '''([http://www.starlinger.com/fileadmin/user_upload/03_recycling_technology/recoSTAR_PET/FB_en/index.html Brochure recoSTAR PET])'''.
