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])'''.

The '''[[PETiVplus_E4_2011_ohne_Ziffern.jpg|Starlinger iV+ recycling process]]''' for PET food contact applications consists of two main steps: the continuous extrusion process, and the semi-continuous solid-stating process either before or after the extrusion step ('''recoSTAR PET iV+'''). It turns post-consumer PET flakes into pellets that meet the highest requirements. | The '''[[PETiVplus_E4_2011_ohne_Ziffern.jpg|Starlinger iV+ recycling process]]''' for PET food contact applications consists of two main steps: the continuous extrusion process, and the semi-continuous solid-stating process either before or after the extrusion step ('''recoSTAR PET iV+''').
