Uncompromising food contact compliance, IV stability, reliability and the best energy efficiency. We know what is important in bottle-to-bottle recycling and in rPET inline applications. Something we have proven with our leading VACUREMA® System, that worldwide processes more than 1.2 million tonnes of PET to rPET every year.
The EREMA technology ensures that the quality of your end product not only is - but also stays - consistently high. And they stay stable even if the properties of your input material change all the time – for example in terms of moisture and bulk density or IV values. That is what we mean with flexibility.
It is much easier and quicker to remove moisture and migration materials from flakes than from pellets. A clear efficiency benefit of our bottle-to-bottle systems.
No compromises when it comes to safety: ultra-clean recyclate that is food contact compliant and delivers the best IV values.
Choose the direct way: the VACUREMA® inline solution. With this solution you go from post-consumer PET flakes directly to finished thermoforming sheet or bottle preforms, to finished strapping or monofilaments. In a single process step.
rPET bottles with flawless appearance and perfect colour. Our recipe for success: highly efficient fine filtration and especially careful material processing.
Flexible input, consistent output: even when your input material fluctuates greatly - you receive stable end products in terms of IV value and colour.
Use resources economically – our bottle recycling systems treat your energy with great care. And, you save valuable production space and water.
Overall VACUREMA® capacity worldwide: more than 1.2 million tonnes of rPET per year:
The regulations placed on collection and sorting systems for HDPE post-consumer wastes such as milk bottles, for example, are particularly stringent. The required purity of 99 % for the input material can be achieved only in closed recycling loops. EREMA is once again earning itself a reputation as a pioneer in this field: the world's first VACUREMA® Advanced systems configured especially for the bottle-to-bottle recycling of HDPE to make food contact grade recycled pellets went into operation in Great Britain.
> To product details pageNo compromises when it comes to direct food contact: thanks to highly efficient decontamination the VACUREMA® system fulfils and also far exceeds all well-known minimum purity requirements for direct food contact already after the batch process. You receive an ultra clean product that fulfils the criteria of FDA, EFSA and well-known brand owners.
Intrinsic viscosity (IV) is one of the central quality criteria in rPET processing. This is because it has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the end product in terms of tensile strength or stiffness, for example. It is reassuring to know that the VACUREMA® system achieves very stable IV values despite varying moisture levels and different IV values in the input material.
Regardless of whether or how the feed material changes: your process remains stable and the quality of your recyclate is consistently high over the long term. That is because our technology adapts automatically to changing conditions. This is a major advantage that pays off every day because the input material in bottle recycling typically varies a great deal. This is true especially in terms of the flake mixtures (flakes with different wall thicknesses and IV values) and the moisture level.
High performance yet still highly energy efficient. This is the challenging performance profile of modern bottle recycling systems. VACUREMA® systems master this challenge to perfection and in doing so set the standard for energy efficiency in the marketplace. Not only the environment but also you benefit. Because if you reduce energy consumption, you likewise reduce production costs considerably. Hour after hour.
