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.
ZERO compromise
Post-consumer recycled materials safe for direct food contact. Thanks to efficient decontamination and homogenisation of the material.
ZERO waste
Zero waste achieved through 100% recycling rate. viscoZERO recycles different types of high viscosity input materials.
ZERO odour
Efficient removal of high and low volatile odours. Results in pure and odour-less recyclate for demanding applications and packaging solutions.
ZERO limits
Zero limits for new business opportunities. Flexibility to process a wide range of input materials into resins of outstanding quality.
