Starlinger viscotec will showcase the deCON 20 decontamination dryer at PLAST 2015. The dryer processes flakes and recycled pellets from PET and HDPE for use in food grade packaging.

Unique to the deCON 20 is its ability to process input material in different forms – e.g. pellets, flakes and skeleton waste – simultaneously. The process is compliant with the relevant FDA and EFSA standards, so the material can be used directly for the production of food grade packaging.
Also on display will be the new recycling line recoSTAR dynamic, which was launched by Starlinger in March 2015. The machine is characterised by a very energy-efficient production process as well as a high grade of automation. This ensures reliable and constant production, higher output, and great flexibility with input materials. The comprehensive, energy-efficient design of the new machine concept is highlighted with the 'rECO' stamp. By using motors with the best efficiency ratings, energy recovery systems in various process steps, as well as infrared heating, energy consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced significantly. The recoSTAR dynamic recycling line processes industrial and post-consumer plastic scrap and produces high-quality regranulate.
