PET recycling plants are essential components in the recycling process, designed to transform used PET bottles into high-quality, reusable flakes. These lines incorporate a range of advanced technologies aimed at efficiently cleaning, decontaminating, and preparing PET materials for further processing. With features such as high friction pre-washing, effective label removal systems, and sophisticated NIR (Near Infrared) technology for detecting impurities, AMUT’s PET recycling lines ensure that the final product meets the highest standards of purity. Furthermore, the inclusion of innovative water filtration systems not only maintains the cleanliness of the washing cycles but also significantly reduces water consumption, making the entire process more sustainable and cost-effective. These lines are versatile, capable of integration into existing setups or as new installations, providing superior quality output that is ideal for bottle-to-bottle applications, thus supporting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact.

Features:

• Colour/Metal NIR Detection: Achieves minimal PVC presence (0-40 ppm), identifies and removes PVC labels, ensures the removal of coloured flakes, and separates metal contaminants.
• Wet Grinding: Intensive Pre-Washing ensures a thorough initial cleaning of PET bottles before further processing.
• Flakes Washing: The Friction Washer performs multiple essential cleaning operations by subjecting flakes to intense but non-destructive friction at high temperatures, effectively reducing paper labels to pulp and removing glue without re-depositing it on the flakes.
• Hot Washing: The continuous hot washing process provides a long residence time with high friction and caustic hot washing, reducing organic residues to 0-70 ppm for thorough cleaning.
• Rinsing: The rinsing process reduces polyolefins to 20 ppm and maintains a minimal pH rise (<0.5), indicating low residual soda levels.
• Dedusting: Dedusting ensures less than 0.5% of particles are smaller than 0.6 mm, decreasing contamination from labels, fibers, and barrier layers.
• Colour Flakes and Metal Detection: Drastically reduces the presence of pollutants such as coloured flakes, wood, metal, paper, and labels.
• PO Recovery: Enhances the final product quality by effectively separating caps and labels from the PET flakes.
• Water Filtration Process: Significantly reduces water consumption to 1.1 litres per kilogram of recycled PET (RPET) and minimises the usage of chemicals and gas in the recycling process.
• Centralised Waste Collection: Requires less manual labour and keeps the working area clean and organised.

Benefits:

• High-Quality PET Flakes: The process results in PET flakes that are nearly equivalent to virgin grade, making them suitable for various high-standard applications.
• Minimal Contaminants: The advanced detection and removal systems ensure minimal presence of contaminants like PVC, metals, and coloured flakes.
• Effective Label and Glue Removal: The friction washer and hot washing processes effectively remove labels and glue, preventing re-contamination of the flakes.
• Sustainable Water Use: The water filtration and recovery system significantly reduce water, chemical, and gas consumption, promoting a more sustainable recycling process.
• Low Organic Residuals: The organic residues are kept very low (0-70 ppm), ensuring high purity of the recycled PET.
• Operational Efficiency: The centralised waste collection and continuous processing contribute to operational efficiency, reducing the need for manual intervention and maintaining a cleaner work environment.
