Single screw extruder

recyclingfor PPfor PET

Product overview
Extruder designed for processing PET bottle flakes. The STARextruder uses a planetary roller system for effective high-vacuum degassing to control moisture-sensitive PET during extrusion and enable consistent production of thermoforming sheet.

Your advantages

• Reduced energy consumption by lowering drying requirements
• Proven industrial machine technology
• Increased process flexibility through elimination of long drying cycles
• User-friendly operation and maintenance-oriented design
• Changeover to PP or PS possible without screw change
• Proven concept for converting PET bottle flakes into food-grade thermoforming sheet (FDA letter of non-objection)

Our offer

• Machine sizes: 90, 120 and 150 mm
• Typical outputs: 600 - 1,200 kg/h (depending on configuration)
• High flexibility in PET processing
• Low operating and maintenance costs
