Product catalog summary
Introduction
Venti Oelde has developed an innovative system for the transport and processing of PET bottles, emphasizing recycling and environmental sustainability. PET bottles, due to their mono-material structure, are highly suitable for recycling, allowing them to be reintroduced into the economic cycle as valuable raw materials.

System Overview
The system is designed to transport reclaimed PET material over long distances in a space-saving manner using air as the medium. This approach is both economical and environmentally friendly, addressing the need for efficient transport from collection points to recycling facilities.

Recycling Process
The recycling process involves cleaning and mechanically grinding the bottles, which can then be transformed into new products such as fibers, foils, or even new PET containers. Multi-layer PET bottles, which incorporate recycled material, are common in several countries, with recycling content reaching up to 80% in some cases.

System Components
The core of the system is an axial-flow fan that feeds air into the conveying system. The system includes silencers for noise reduction and a feed station where bottles are introduced. The bottles are transported through a pneumatic tube-like system to a separator, where contaminants are removed.

Flexibility and Adaptability
The system is highly adaptable to various local and operational conditions. It requires minimal space and can be modified to accommodate changes in site conditions. The conveying duct is enclosed and emission-free, ensuring environmental compatibility.

Additional Processing Options
Post-separation, bottles can be perforated for easier pressing into bales or ground into flakes for further processing. The system can integrate metal sensors and separators to ensure purity of the recycled material.

Advantages
The system offers several advantages, including cost-effective design, operational safety, adaptability to site conditions, and ease of maintenance. It supports easy conveyance over large distances and heights without wear and tear due to the absence of moving parts in the duct.

Conclusion
Venti Oelde's PET bottle processing system is a flexible, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for the recycling industry, capable of adapting to various site-specific requirements and ensuring high availability through programmable controls.

Transport and Processing of PET Bottles ”So that the outcome is environmentally compatible!” PET packaging and bottles which have ended their useful life do not belong on the tip. They can be re-used to provide raw materials and energy in recycling processes. This is one of the considerable strengths of PET. Even after a long useful life, its mono-material structure makes it suitable for recycling and it can be returned to the economic cycle as a valuable raw material. During development of the PET bottle transport and processing plant, Venti Oelde was trying to provide for the operator a safe...

Transport and processing of PET bottles-3

Inexpensive, reliable and environmentally friendly For various reasons, the location of the recycling plant for plastic drinks bottles is almost always different from the place where the bottles are returned and the cases re-used. The problem arises therefore of transporting the empty bottles easily, safely and, if possible, automatically from where the empty drinks cases are re-used to the location of the collecting, manufacturing or disposal plant for the PET bottles. When considering possible solutions, the main task was to find a system ● which can exist inside the eco-balance (economy and...
