PET recycled without treatment in contact with food

As managing director, Stephan Gneuss has pointed out on the subject: "FDA approval for the processing of up to 100% of flakes of PET bottles only extrusion of material using an extruder, without any treatment of pre or post is a single sales factor." "For us, it is the best proof that, with the MRS extruder, we have created a real innovation." Gneuss has already sold more than 20 extrusion machines for many applications since its launch in the market, less than 4 years ago.

This new FDA approval means that MRS extruder, its system of desvolatilización and the rotating system of melt filtration, are approved for the processing of up to 100% of dirty flakes of PET bottles for food contact packaging. This is achieved without the need for any treatment of the material sooner or later that is processed in the extruder (no drying, no low vacuum drying, no crystallization etc.).

These results, very practical for the food packaging industry, are due to the operation of formidable desvolatilización of MRS. extruder This is achieved through an area of mining extremely large from the molten mass of the polymer in the multiple section of rotation of the extruder, along with a rapid exchange of the melt and optimal performance. Many trials in conjunction with tests on products produced under these conditions of production is certified that this excellent desvolatilización occurs together with a gentle treatment of the material and very low fall of IV. MRS extruder allows the production of high quality products with low energy costs and reduced to a minimum of maintenance and operators, not to mention the high production flexibility offered by the system carefully.
