PET recycling line OMNImax

for PEfor PP

The OMNImax Recycling System features a new 3C Rotary Feeder, an MRS- or MRSpure extruder, a fully automatic melt filtration system RSFgenius and an online viscometer VIS. Gneuss’ MRS Extrusion Technology has proven itself as an alternative for the reprocessing of contaminated materials like polyester, nylon, polystyrene, polypropylene or other polymers. In combination with the highly efficient Gneuss Rotary Filtration Systems and optimized vacuum technology, customizable recycling lines tailor-made for a specific material can be engineered. Several Letters of Non Objection (LNOs) from the FDA, EFSA conformity and local approvals in Latin America confirm the decontamination efficiency of the technology. 3C Rotary Feeder The newly developed 3C Rotary Feeder makes it possible to use low bulk density materials without any external processing steps. A conveyor belt feeds shredded reclaim material into the hopper, where a fast-rotating disc with knives cuts, compacts and pre-conditions the material. The knives add energy into the material and start the heating and degassing process before the material is automatically fed into the extrusion system. Extrusion system Depending on the application, the OMNImax series uses either a modified MRS extruder with a longer multiple screw section or an MRSpure. In contrast ot the OMNI series, the MRS extuder used in the OMNImax has an extended multiple screw section, which ensures efficient and gentle degassing of the polymer at 1-2 mbar and meets requirements for direct food applications. The mutliple screw section also ensures a very effective homogenization of the melt.
