The Plastindia in New Delhi/India from February 1-5, 2023, opens the trade show season 2023 for machinery manufacturer Starlinger. The company will focus on efficient plastics recycling and sustainable packaging solutions.
Starlinger & Co Gesellschaft m.b.H., Vienna/Austria, will present innovative machinery solutions for the recycling and refinement of a wide range of industrial and post-consumer scrap, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polylactic acid (PLA), and many more.
The recycling processes have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Silver Springs, MD/USA, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma/Italy, and provide efficient and reliable solutions for the production of food-grade recycled PET and high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
In India, raffia sacks account for a significant share on the packaging market for dry bulk goods such as grains, rice, flour, or fertilizers and cement. In order to establish closed packaging cycles in this sector, Starlinger lines can produce raffia sacks and container fabric out of recycled polypropylene (rPP) as well as PET and rPET. A project for big bags made of rPET is currently underway in India: In a joint venture (JV) with big bag producer Umasree Texplast Pvt. Ltd., Kalkol/India, packaging producer Packem Textil S/A, Aurora/Brazil, is setting up a production facility for big bags made of PET using Starlinger equipment. The aim of the JV is to establish a closed packaging cycle in this sector. In this “bag-to-bag” project, used big bags are collected, recycled and turned into new big bags again.
The newly conceived Starlinger recoStar PET art machine series, which was presented for the first time in October 2022 at “K” plastics trade show in Düsseldorf/Germany, represents a step forward with regard to energy and process efficiency. Due to significant technological innovations and improvements – regarding energy consumption, machine footprint and maintenance requirements, among others – the new system saves about 21% in energy costs compared to the previous model.
viscoStar SSP reactors and deCON decontamination dryers for IV increase and decontamination of rPET flakes and pellets ensure high quality and increase of intrinsic viscosity (IV) to the level of virgin material. rPET flakes and pellets processed on viscotec systems can be used directly in the production of food-contact packaging.
