Product catalog summary
Introduction
VACUREMA® is a modular recycling technology designed for the efficient recycling of post-consumer PET bottle flakes, in-house PET waste, and PE-HD bottle flakes. It is widely used globally, with over 150 systems in operation, producing high-quality pellets and end products.

Key Features
  • Decontamination and Filtration: The system offers highly efficient decontamination and ultrafine filtration, making the recycled pellets suitable for direct food contact, complying with FDA and EFSA standards.
  • Flexibility: VACUREMA® systems can process a wide variety of input materials, including PET bottle flakes from different sources, thanks to its Counter Current technology.
  • IV Stability: The system maintains stable intrinsic viscosity (IV) values through vacuum treatment, allowing recycling of materials with varying moisture levels.

Applications
VACUREMA® technology is applied in three main fields: Bottle-to-Bottle, Pelletising, and Inline Applications, all approved for food contact.

Technical Innovations
  • Counter Current Technology: This innovation changes the direction of material rotation in the vacuum reactor, enhancing flexibility and reliability.
  • Pre-treatment Efficiency: The patented pre-treatment at high temperature and vacuum before extrusion improves decontamination efficiency and reduces thermal stress.
  • ecoSAVE® Technology: Integrated technology that reduces production costs by minimizing energy consumption.

Economic and Technical Benefits
  • Low production costs and compact design.
  • High purity and IV stability of rPET pellets, comparable to virgin material.
  • Efficient decontamination exceeding minimum purity requirements for food contact.

Conclusion
VACUREMA® offers a comprehensive, flexible, and efficient solution for PET recycling, ensuring high-quality output suitable for food contact applications. The system's innovative technologies and economic benefits make it a leading choice in the recycling industry.
