Plastics recycling line
recoSTAR dynamic art

State-of-the-art recycling technology for post-consumer plastics. Modular line configuration for supercleaning and odor reduction. Designed for processing film, caps, pots, tubs, trays and bottles made of PE, PP and PS.

The SMARTfeeder optimally prepares the input material and feeds it into the extruder by centrifugal force. The dynamic automation package regulates the ideal operation point. The wear-resistant extruders are designed and manufactured in-house. The C-VAC module ensures highly efficient degassing by expanding the melt surface by 300%. Melt filters for continuous removal of solid contaminants are available. Depending on the level and type of contamination, melt filters with power backflushing, continuous melt filters or band filters are used. The pelletizing system is chosen depending on polymer type and preferred pellet shape. Typically, watering or underwater pelletizers are used. Automatic process water filtration reduces operator interference.
