Starlinger - recycling technology for PET flakes

Bale feeder, breaker and metal separator: Bales of PET bottles are fed to the bale opener and breaker, metals are separated. Pre-washing: Loose bottles are optionally pre-washed to improve the separation of PVC bottles and to remove labels. Automatic and manual sorting: Depending on bale composition, a series of sorting systems are installed. Off-spec material is compacted for selling. Grinding: Bottles and caps are ground to flakes. Washing: PET flakes are separated from other thermoplastics in the sink/float tank before hot washing and rinsing. Caustic soda is applied to dissolve the glue from the labels. Flake sorting: After drying, the flakes go through a series of sorters to improve final flake quality. Standard PET Bottle Recycling Plant
