viscoZERO
Decontaminate high viscosity materials fast and efficiently with the new melt phase decontamination reactor.
Designed to produce recycled food grade resins from polyolefins and polystyrene or food grade, iV-increased recycled PET. Available as turn-key solution or as upgrade for your existing recycling extruder.
Odors are removed with a lasting effect.
Superior cleaning efficiency of volatile and non-volatile substances result in a wide range of applications for contact sensitive and/or food contact packaging products.
Fastest iV increase due to continuous melt surface exposure.
Excellent homogenization results in first class surface and optical quality.
viscoZERO benefits:
- Superclean post-consumer PP, PE, PS and PET
- iV increase for PET
- Odour removal
- Spin finish removal
