Recycling of Bottle Waste

After repeated use, the common plastic bottles that are widely used today can be utilized for a different purpose after appropriate preparation.  Depending on the preparation, the bottles are used for the production of fibers or preforms for the bottle industry.

PALLMANN offers specially developed knife mills for the preparation of plastic bottles.  Wear protection as well as robust and reliable construction of the machine is what matters.  Cutting geometry and long knife life is of utmost importance.  PALLMANN puts special emphasis on maintenance friendliness.

The bottles shredded into chips are washed, cleaned from glue, paper, film, and foreign objects and can be further processed into reusable, free flowing agglomerate with a ORIGINAL PALLMANN Plast-Agglomerator system after the drying process.  The special characteristic of the agglomeration process is that the IV-value of the PET material is only minimally decreased.  The material is insignificantly exposed to thermal stress during agglomeration.  The material is simultaneously crystallized, therefore eliminating the need for a crystallizing process before further processing.
