erating a blown film line successfully, and in this high-pressure application it is even more important to avoid pressure fluctuations through intelligent solutions. The BKG HiCon K-SWE-HD/RS melt filter is equipped with the patented melt pressure con- trolled venting start that fully automates the filling of the screen cavity after a screen change for maximum pressure consistency. Additionally, the filling is done so carefully that no air entrapments endanger the process or the end product. �

Piovan Group will present a complete overview of its most advanced technological solutions. Among the highlights will be Winfactory 4.0, the company’s production process control and management software developed to ensure automatic recipe setting and product traceability. Other products on display include the Winenergy
energy efficiency monitoring and analysis system and Winflo monitoring and control for its Aquatech industrial cooling solutions. The Condenso dehu- midification line has been specially developed for the plastics recycling process. It removes VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) from the process air using a novel energy recovery system. The system comprises SoftBoost air channelling system for granule heating, the water-cooled CAPchiller, Vulkano portable VOC measurement instrument, and Odor Minder in-line electronic nose. �

Saperatec, a developer of recycling processes for composite packaging, will highlight an innovative multi-layer delamination approach at K2022. The novel approach results in recycled materials that can replace virgin raw materials in numerous applications, including film packaging. Saperatec’s composite packaging recycling capabilities bring the potential to separate and reintegrate a wide variety of substrates into the packaging stream. For starters, Saperatec will focus on composite flexible packaging materials and tube packaging with aluminum foil barriers, as well as plastics and aluminium from beverage cartons. Beyond that, the technology opens the door for future recyclability solutions in a wide range of composite packaging, as well as other materials combining plastics with metal, glass and paper. �

Sorema will be demonstrating its upcycling concept. The system’s wet grinders grind the film to a size that guarantees the best yield with a limited

production of PE fines, so that the subsequent washing, drying and extrusion operations benefit from working with a constant, reduced material size, resulting in a significant final reduction in energy and water consumption. During the grinding process, the machine generates high friction on the surface of the material by opening and removing a huge amount of contamination due to the high mass flow of water. This solution cleans the material that is quickly
separated from water by the centrifuge. Sorema says this offers a better quality of recycled polymer than solutions based on a single dry shredder, both in terms of greater cleanliness and less wear and tear on machine components. �

Starlinger will showcase the RecoSTAR PET Art, the company’s latest plant model in the field of PET recycling. In addition to Starlinger’s established technology solutions, the new plant is character- ised by particularly low energy consumption and considerably simplified maintenance processes. Both the pre-drying unit and the extruder of the
new RecoSTAR PET Art will be on display, and the company will also be showcasing machine solu- tions from the fields of polyester fibre/filament recycling and recycling of post-consumer polyole- fins, including odour reduction technology. Commercial Director Paul Niedl says: “What happens in the PET bottle-to-bottle recycling process to turn a used mineral water bottle back into a new mineral water bottle can be called high art. It is a composition, a synthesis of experience combined with the latest scientific knowledge and high technological standards. Our new RecoSTAR PET Art embodies 20 years of experience.” �
