The highlight in of the company’s PET Recycling line was its new Vacurema Inline Preform system which was developed together with Sipa. It explained that this enables the direct and flexible processing of washed PET flakes to make preforms. In the field of Post Consumer Recycling, the Intarema RegrindPro for regrind material was joined by the ReFresher and was presented in autumn.
The thermal-physical cleaning process of the ReFresher removes even migrated odours and thus extends the field of application for recyclates from post-consumer material.
The new SW Direct Flow melt filtration for minor contaminants, on the other hand, has led to improvements in the recycling of production waste.

According to the company these innovations led to a notable increase in order intake. Machine-based order intake between October and March increased by 50% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
