Una-Dyn, part of the Piovan Group, can provide technologies for working with recycled PET plastic.

  • Smart dryers to stabilize the behavioral variability of different recycled materials
  • Oil condensers to condense low-boiling VOCs in the process air stream
  • Patented activated carbon filters for VOC filtration
  • Gravimetric blenders providing multiple resin mixtures ready to be processed
  • Masterbatch and additive dosers located along the downstream process
  • Scrap recovery systems for the reuse of internal preforms regrind
  • In-line Moisture Minder to detect, in real time, the moisture level before feeding the IMM
  • Quality inspection instruments for real-time detection of Acetaldehyde and Benzene
  • Supervisory software to track overall production lot processes and archive data

Whatever the quality of the rPET, with our integrated solutions you can process it as if it were virgin material!

SYSTEM LIFESPAN

DECREASE

  • Formation of highly corrosive acids that damage metal surfaces
  • Unscheduled dryer shutdowns and consequent need for extra corrective maintenance
  • Clogging of filters or ducts, blockage of blowers, leaching, contamination of molecular sieves

VARIABILITY IN PLASTIC PROCESSING

  • Different lots of recycled materials may cause variability affecting the finished product quality
  • Presence of dust causing black spots in the finished product
  • VOCs causing aesthetic and mechanical differences in the finished product

RISKS FOR THE

END CONSUMER

Presence of VOCs that could:

  • alter the organoleptic characteristics of the packaging contents
  • make packaging harmful to consumer health

WORKING WITH rPET: CRITICAL ISSUES

TURN-KEY AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

Una-Dyn can provide turn-key automation systems for the production of finished or semi-finished products from rPET that minimize the critical issues mentioned above, especially with technologies designed specifically for this application such as oil condensers, adaptive dryers, high-tech filters, benzene analysers and supervisory software.
