which enables continuous uninterrupted operation with consistently high filtration quality, and a VacuFil fully integrated system for PET recycling via liquid-state polycondensation, which combines large-area, gentle melt filtration with precise IV control, ensuring consistently high melt quality. With a capacity of 150-4,000 kg/h, the modular concept allows flexible adaptation to different material qualities and areas of application. The central component of the system is Visco+, the liquid-state polycondensation unit for targeted viscosity adjustment. Continuous adjustment of the IV results in a homogeneous melt with optimal processing properties making it ideal for high- quality end products in the fibre, film, or packaging industries. �

Bausano has developed the E-GO R series of extrusion and repelletising technologies for the recycling of polyolefins, such as HDPE, LDPE, and PP, derived from industrial and post-consumer waste. The E-GO R extruders, ranging from 45/37 to 210/37 L/D, can process up to 1,500–1,800 kg/hr of non-free-flowing material and 1,700–2,000 kg/hr of free-flowing material. The company says E-GO R extruders are ideal
for recycling lightweight materials with a moisture content of 5-6%. Thanks to a high-performance double degassing system, residual moisture and volatile substances are removed during the process, thus preventing the formation of defects in the pellets.
Bausano says innovation will takes centre stage with two live demos on its stand. Visitors will have the opportunity to interact directly with the AI-based Bausano Ranger interface, one of the suite’s core modules, installed on two high-perfor- mance extruders: a counter-rotating twin-screw MD 130/25 for compound production; and a single- screw E-GO 60/37 for multilayer HDPE pipe manufacturing. �

BBE will be appearing together with its parent company Barmag and associated brands, show- casing its expertise in extrusion, filtration, and integrated recycling solutions. A highlight promises to be the open house event at the BBE Technical Centre, which will feature a team of experts and live demonstrations showing PET waste being recycled on the test facilities and spun directly into high- quality recycled yarn (POY) which is then further processed using BBE’s JeTex air texturizing system with a new auto-doffing unit. Also on display will be the latest Cobra filter,

B.IRD Machinery manufactures compact infrared rotary drum devices for treating bulk materials, including pellets, regrind, flakes, and powders. The technology is designed for smaller throughputs. The company says its proprietary IRD technology offers advantages over conventional hot-air drying methods for bulk materials: more than 90% in time savings with process times of minutes instead of hours; up to 70% in energy savings; “exceptionally fast” changeover times; enhanced material efficiency.
B.IRD technology can be used in the preparation
and pre-processing of materials for compounding and recycling. When combining multiple compo- nents, homogenising the melt can be challenging due to differing melting points, it said. The targeted in-line pre-heating of specific fractions with its technology provides a solution, it said, adding that an international client was able to achieve a sustainable 20 kg/hr increase in product yield by reducing filtrate. Ongoing tests include reducing odours in recyclates. �

Buss, the Swiss developer of co-kneader technol- ogy, produces the Compeo series of machines for polymer compounding. These machines have a modular structure which can be precisely config- ured to meet the specific compounding application. Maintenance outlay is kept low by using highly resistant surface-hardened materials in the process zone. Different machine sizes mean that throughputs can be achieved in low, medium and high ranges. The Compeo Lab is a versatile laboratory and pilot compounding line for development, process optimization and small production runs. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from shear-sensi- tive materials to demanding engineering plastics.
