Description of the process /

Vertical feed hopper with gravimetric dosing and anti-vault system. Optionally incorporates a vacuum system.

Single-screw extruder with specific design for PET. Optimized design to minimize IV drop and avoid black spots.

High vacuum degassing system to remove moisture and other volatiles. Working pressure up to 5 mbar with different flow rates.

Different pelletizing options: - Automatic strand pelletizer. The yarns are transported by the constant flow of water to the pelletizer. constant flow of water to the pelletizer. Optionally, a pelletizing system option, a pelletizing system fully submerged in water can be used (Premium option). water (Premium option). -Submerged pelletizer for the best cutting quality.
