Extrusion lines for PET processing

MAS solutions for plastics extrusion

MAS extrusion lines are the ideal solution for processing PET, both in re-granulate and inline applications. All PET recycling and virgin material fractions such as bottle regrind, film regrind and pellets are processed together with additives in a single process. The patented conical design of the processing unit enables processing at low speeds and a high screw filling level over the shortest processing length at low melt temperatures.

Benefits of MAS technology

Additionally, the concurrent twin-screw technology guarantees excellent homogenisation of fluctuating input material qualities as well as a large gas venting surface. This leads to outstanding intrinsic viscosity, color, and AA levels at very low energy consumption.

Depending on the application this can enable:

  • subsequent polycondensation steps can be optimised.
  • Pre-drying of virgin material and industrial waste is no longer necessary
  • In combination with pre-drying and a high-performance vacuum degassing system, FDA / EFSA certifications can be achieved without a subsequent polycondensation step.
