Amut has recently completed the commissioning of the second of three turnkey plants for the SMI Group in Bogotá, Colombia. SMI, active in the food and beverage industry, now benefits from a plant with a production capacity of 3,000 kg per hour of recycled material from post-consumer PET bottles. The facility includes an efficient pre-selection and pre-washing section for the bottle stream, featuring the patented wet Delabeller system.
In December 2023, SMI launched the first of the three PET recycling plants in Lima, Peru, supplied by Amut as part of the project. With a production capacity of 6,000 kg per hour, it is currently the largest operational facility in the South American country. Meanwhile, in Guatemala City, Guatemala, Amut is constructing the third line, also with a capacity of up to 3,000 kg per hour.
