Food Contact Approved Recycling.
With highly efficient decontamination BEFORE the extrusion process.
Different requirements call for different solutions. Modular solutions which are
configured exactly for your particular application. VACUREMA gives you this flexibility
in impressive style. With this patented process you can count on the best established
and most used technology for the recycling of post consumer PET bottle flakes, PET
in-house waste and also PE-HD bottle flakes.
There are currently more than 150 VACUREMA systems in use around the world,
producing high-quality pellets and end products with an overall capacity of over
1 million tonnes. A wealth of experience which guarantees you maximum operational
reliability of your system with flexibility in the application at the same time. In the form
of a turnkey recycling solution which is customised for the requirements of your end
product. One that also runs with the lowest possible energy and production costs.
VACUREMA one system, three application fields. The decisive benefits for the customer:
1. Decontamination and ultrafine 2. Flexibility, variable input, ideal 3. IV stability through vacuum
filtration for direct food contact for mixing with virgin material: treatment:

a groundbreaking innovation.
In the past the material inside the vacuum reactor turned in the same direction as
the extruder - forwards. The patented Counter Current technology now changes the
direction of rotation inside the vacuum reactor: the plastic material thus moves in the
opposite direction to that of the extruder screw. A simple effect with a major impact.
Thanks to the improved material intake the VACUREMA system ensures even greater
flexibility and operational reliability in the processing of an extremely wide variety of
materials.

The overall energy consumption of the compact VACUREMA strapping technology is 0.3
unrivalled at 0.65 kWh/kg. Thanks to the stable and high IV values, consistently high 0.2
operational reliability is also ensured. Plus, last but not least, the stable and very tight 0.1
molecular weight distribution makes sure that the strapping has the required mechanical 0.0
The upstream process:

Molecular weight Proven energy-saving and patented VACUREMA technology consists of a vacuum
PET virgin material reactor and a directly linked single-screw extruder. An expensive, conventional predryer/
rPET from VACUREMA Basic crystallisation/extruder system is not required. This means that you can save up to one
third of the entire specific energy costs.
Using compact VACUREMA strapping technology for the direct production of strap-
ping with stable IV values from PCR-PET bottle flakes or mixtures of a variety of input
materials (including strapping production waste) with ultrafine filtration enables you to
make very strong strapping with very small cross-sections from comparably inexpensive
raw materials.
