AMUT has completed the commissioning of a recycling plant for Pet Star Recycling, part of Pet Star Group, together with Pet Star Holding, a producer of preforms for PET bottles, in Romania.

The new washing line for PET processing with total output of 3,000 kg/h is equipped with the AMUT patented De-Labeller, together with the well-tested Friction Washer, and presents the front-end sorting system sized to sort clear/light blue bottles from a stream including up to 14/15% of colored ones suitable to treat 5,500 Kg/h of inlet material.

"From the very beginning, we have implemented the bottle-to-bottle concept to increase the recycling potential of untapped plastic waste and its reuse in a new production process," stated Mirela Dragoi, CEO Pet Star Recycling, Romania. "That's why we chose a strong partner, as AMUT, which provided us modern and innovative sorting and washing technology which allows us to be more efficient and to minimize water consumption for each kilo of high purity flakes we produce."

"We are grateful to Pet Star Recycling for their trust in our Recycling Technology and thank them for this opportunity to collaborate. This completion of the project marks an important milestone in our relationship with them," commented Giovanni Cattaneo, AMUT Commercial Director.
