Until now, these \u201efines\u201c - unlike the better-known \u201eflakes\u201c - were difficult to feed into the recycling process because they contained a high proportion of PVC, aluminium or paper.<\/p>\n<p>The continuously operating <strong>High-performance melt filter<\/strong> According to Ettlinger, the machines in the Eco series are capable of separating the high-quality PET from such critical fractions. They can then be used to produce sophisticated recycled products such as clear thermoforming sheets or packaging tapes.<\/p>\n<p>The Eco filters are used in <strong>Existing extrusion lines<\/strong> integrated. They are designed for throughputs of 1,000 kilograms per hour for the \u201eEco 200\u201c model or 3,000 kilograms per hour for the \u201eEco 250\u201c model.
