Innovations from Venti Oelde Transport and Processing of PET Bottles

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...

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...

Summary of the Advantages cost-effective plant design operational safety with several options ● simple adaptation to on-site conditions ● small space required for the conveying duct ● trouble-free modification of the plant (particularly of the conveying duct) when new on-site conditions arise ● easy conveyance over great heights and distances ● can easily cope with spasmodic bottle feed ● no moving machine parts in the conveying duct, which means practically no wear and tear ● completely enclosed conveying duct ● emission-free ● ● Another method is to grind the PET bottles into flakes of defined...
