Lacerta and viscotec: a valuable recycling partnership
US American packaging manufacturer drives sustainable packaging
Decontamination dryer for production of dry, iV-increased food grade flakes from bottles and trays, or skeleton waste directly in front of a production extruder. The deCON iV+ is the optimal tray recycling solution, with a production mode for intrinsic viscosity (iV) increase.
deCON benefits:

Above table represents general technical data and average values, which depend on chemical composition, contamination, pelletizing, etc. of the pellets/flakes. Guaranteed values only after trial with customer material. The calculated electrical power rate refers only to the reactor and periphery of the reactor and depends on the output rate. We reserve the right of technical modification.
