Recycling Process

PET/PA RECYCLING

Process

From shredding and agglomeration to extrusion, degassing and pelletising—a clearly structured process for high-quality PET/PA recyclates.

Shredder and Agglomerator

  • Our recycling facility consists of three main components, two of which are supplied by our partner company ACERETECH .
  • The first machine in the facility is the shredder. It is used in plastics recycling to reduce plastic waste.
  • The shredder’s main function is to reduce large pieces of plastic waste into small, uniform pieces to facilitate recycling.
  • Shredding enables us to prepare plastic waste more effectively for further processing.

1Shredding and Size Reduction

Reduction to a defined particle size for a consistent material flow.

2Metal Detector

Protection of the facility through detection and removal of metal particles.

3Gentle Compaction

Gentle agglomeration to stabilise the material and improve dosing.

4Compoundieren & Kristallisation

Homogenisation, addition of additives and preparation for extrusion.

Extruder

  • Extrusion is an important step in the plastics recycling process, further processing the feed material and initiating manufacture of the final product.
  • The extrusion process converts the shredded plastics into molten material.
  • A screw conveys the feed material.
  • The molten material passes through filtration, cooling, cleaning and drying before being processed into pellets at the granulator.

1Schmelzen & Filtration

Melting and removal of contaminants through filtration systems.

2Extrusion & Entgasung

Removal of moisture and volatile components for consistent quality.

3Cooling & Cutting

Strand cooling and pelletising into uniform pellets.

4Kristallisation & Trocknung

Optimisation of material properties and storage and processing performance.
