Recycling line
recoSTAR dynamic

State-of-the-art recycling technology with extended functionalities such as SMART feeder with dynamic automation package and Spin Feed Technology. Designed for processing film, fibres, thermoplastic in-house production scrap and washed post-consumer waste from materials such as PE, PP, PET, PES, PA, PLA, PS, PPS as well as foamed products. The most efficient solution for hygroscopic and wet materials.

The wear-resistant extruders are designed and manufactured in-house. The optional degassing extruder purifies the melt from volatile contaminants and monomers. Highly printed, very humid or organically contaminated input material requires the C-VAC module, hygroscopic input material the H-VAC module.

A melt filter continuously removes solid contaminants. The optional backflushing function reduces costs for filter screens and operator intervention. In case of higher contamination, a power backflush or continuous melt filter is recommended.

The pelletising system is chosen with regard to polymer type and preferred pellet shape. In case of an automatic strand pelletiser, broken strands are automatically inserted into the strand pelletiser without operator interference. Alternatively, manual strand, water ring, or underwater pelletisers are available.

  • for post-consumer waste and production scrap
  • wide range of applications
  • inline recycling
  • superior functionality with SMART feeder
  • dynamic automation package to counterbalance fluctuations in the input material
  • Spin Feed Technology for higher output

Spin Feed Technology

Due to various new design elements such as the ribs in the SMARTfeeder, the screw design in the infeed zone and the twisted cone bush, the material is fed into the extruder with a spin, boosting the system output. 

SMART feeder

for ideal material preparation prior to extrusion through performing simultaneously the following steps:

S  → shrink & cut
M → mix & homogenize
A  → active feed & control
R → rotate & friction
T → temperature & dry
