In case of inline application a vacuum SSP reactor (deCON, viscoSTAR) can be installed before the production extruder instead of a conventional dryer. In this step, post-consumer sheet flakes – or also a mixture of flakes from preforms and post-consumer bottles – are dried, decontaminated and their IV increased before being processed on the production line. The higher IV of the final sheet leads to better and faster processing of the material in thermoforming machines with fewer brittle cups or trays. | In case of inline application a vacuum SSP reactor (deCON, viscoSTAR) can be installed before the production extruder instead of a conventional dryer.
