Extrusion Asia Edition 1-2025

50 EXTRUSION & RECYCLING ASIA 1/2025 2025中国国际橡塑展 量 rPET 日益增长的需求 。” Wöss 告诉我们，“ EREMA 已 经在中国安装了 50 多套 VACUREMA® 和 VACUNITE®系 统，其中几套每小时产量超过了 4 吨。对于中国的回收商来 说，他们看重 EREMA 系统的多应用支持和灵活性，以及由 此获得的全覆盖应用范围和最大销售灵活度。我们期待在展 会上与您详细探讨。“ "While the bottle-to-bottle market initially tended towards 3-tonne machines, over the past three years we have been seeing increasing demand for PET recycling solutions with throughputs in excess of three tonnes per hour," says Chris - toph Wöss, Business Development Manager for the Bottle segment at EREMA. In total, a dozen VACUREMA® ma - chines with throughput capacities of four to six tonnes have been installed and commissioned worldwide since 2020. "Together, these large recycling machines produce almost 350,000 tonnes of rPET per year, which is a clear sign that this order of magnitude is now commonplace in the indus - try," adds Christoph Wöss. The highest throughput capacities with maximum exibility With VACUREMA® technology, EREMA o ers a proven system for throughputs between 600 and 6000 kilograms per hour. This technology achieves impressively e cient decontamination and gentle IV treatment and ful ls the strict requirements of the European and North American food safety authorities. Even the basic version produces food-grade rPET, providing the basis for a wide range of end applications. Whether the pellets are then used with SSP for IV adjustment for bottle-to-bottle or high IV appli - cations, an additional upstream vacuum treatment enables direct connection to preform production, or the material is processed inline into sheets or bres, the VACUREMA ® is a versatile all-rounder with food-grade certi cation. "This versatility allows users to react exibly to changes in the market and uctuations in demand, an important advantage in a dynamic market environment," says Christoph Wöss. Advanced VACUNITE® technology for the highest rPET quality Applications with especially high material quality require - ments are covered by advanced VACUNITE ® technology. It combines the proven VACUREMA ® system with integrated vacuum-assisted SSP in a nitrogen atmosphere. This com - bination further optimises the material properties and sig - ni cantly reduces the yellowing of the pellets, which is an important quality factor in bottle-to- bottle recycling. What is more, the closed nitrogen cycle and optimised process control ensure even lower nitrogen consumption, and ulti - mately, a particularly e cient and environmentally friendly process. VACUNITE ® technology is available on machines for throughputs of up to 2500 kilograms per hour that fea - ture particularly low en - ergy consumption and a compact design. "In several markets, like Latin America, there is a clear trend towards larger PET recycling machines. We expect the market to develop this way in China too, to meet the increasing demand for high-quality rPET suitable for sensitive applications such as food packaging," says Christoph Wöss. EREMA has already installed more than 50 VACUREMA ® and VACUNITE ® systems in China, but only a few with throughputs in excess of four tonnes per hour. Christoph Wöss sees opportunities here: "For Chinese recy - clers, the bandwidth and exibility of the VACUREMA ® and VACUNITE® systems o er great potential for a wide variety of applications. We are looking forward to discussing the vari - ous options in more detail at Chinaplas."
