HyPET Recycled Flake (RF) System Increasing recycled flake content to reduce the environmental impact of beverage packaging Benefits • Complete system specifically optimized to manufacture preforms with high percentages of recycled flake • Leverages Husky's 30+ years of experience in beverage packaging and complete turnkey system solutions • No compromise in cycle time or preform quality • Reduces environmental impact of beverage packaging • Backed by Husky’s extensive global service and support network Husky’s HyPET Recycled Flake (RF) system is specifically designed for manufacturing preforms with high percentages of food-grade recycled PET flake. Enabling significant increases to the amount of post-consumer, recycled PET flake, HyPET RF helps to make PET packaging more sustainable. No compromise in quality or performance The challenge in the past has been increasing the recycled flake content in beverage packaging, while still maintaining the highest levels of quality and performance. Husky’s HyPET RF system is specifically optimized to achieve these goals. Plasticizing performance offers superior material homogeneity, while continuous filtering reduces the presence of black specks. With only one melting and extrusion step involved throughout the decontamination and injection process, thermal degradation is minimized and color shift is reduced. Because HyPET RF is built on Husky’s High Performance Package (HPP), it offers the same cycle time, throughput, shot repeatability and weight distribution as our high output platform.

Increased flexibility HyPET RF technology addresses the specific challenges of manufacturing PET bottles using recycled PET flake, allowing manufacturers not currently using recycled PET flake to introduce this material into their products. For those already using recycled PET flake, this can eliminate some of the manufacturing and quality challenges while enabling an increase in flake content. HyPET RF enables the use of up to 100% recycled flake and delivers consistent quality and performance, even when working with varying grades of recycled material. Waste and cost reduction HyPET RF is...
