  • Dynamic vacuum treatment

    Due to the reduction of the boiling temperature, all contaminants evaporate when reaching the PET surface. As a result, shorter residence times at lower temperatures with an outstanding decontamination performance are achieved with viscotec technology.

  • First in, first out principle

    The design of the viscoSTAR and deCON outlet ensures a constant treatment time of the material in the reactor. This essential and patented treatment is the main element accountable for viscotec's worldwide market success.

Gas chromatographies

Gas chromatographies are used for testing the purity of PET. Constant long-term screenings at customer sites worldwide confirm the excellent cleaning efficiency of the deCON.
