The '''recoSTAR universal''' recycling line allows processing of PET film, PES fibres and nonwovens without pre-cutting; only proportioning to fit conveyor belt dimensions is required.The material preparation in combination with the sophisticated software and the dosing screw allows processing of materials with different bulk densities and even of flakes without changing process parameters.

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.

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.

The combination of recycling step and production step results in competitive investment costs and helps to reduce energy consumption and maintenance while remaining user-friendly.
