Starlinger: Decontamination of PET and HDPE at Plast 2015 Starlinger viscotec


Starlinger viscotec will showcase the deCON 20decontamination dryer at Plast 2015 in Milan. The dryer processes flakes and recycled pellets from PET and HDPE for use in food grade packaging. Unique to the deCON 20 is its ability to process input material in different forms – e.g. pellets, flakes and skeleton waste – simultaneously. The process is compliant with the relevant FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) standards, so the material can be used directly for the production of food grade packaging. 

Energy-efficient recycling: recoSTAR dynamic 

The new recycling line recoSTAR dynamic, launched by Starlinger end of March, is characterized by a very energy-efficient production process as well as a high grade of automation. This ensures reliable and constant production, higher output, and great flexibility with input materials. The comprehensive energy efficient design of the new machine concept is highlighted with the “rECO” stamp. By using exclusively motors with the best efficiency ratings, energy recovery systems in various process steps as well as infrared heating, energy consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced significantly. The recoSTAR dynamic recycling line processes industrial and post-consumer plastic scrap and produces high-quality regranulate that can be used in a wide range of applications. 

Visit Starlinger at Plast 2015 in Milano from May 05 – 09, 2015, Hall 15, booth C6.
