Extrusion International 5-2025

25 Extrusion International 5/2025 has excellent optical and mechanical properties. In a single, simple extrusion step, harmful contaminants are thoroughly removed, assuring that the end prod- uct is safe for use in food contact ap- plications. OMNI Recycling Machines Gneuss’ MRS Extrusion Technology is known as an alternative for the re- processing of contaminated materials like polyester (PET), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE). In combination with Gneuss’ highly ef cient Rotary Filtration Sys - tems, optimized vacuum technology, an online viscometer VIS and Gneuss Measurement Technology, customiz- able recycling lines tailor-made for a speci c material can be engineered. As an option, light-weight or uffy materials can be fed into the extruder via a 3C Rotary Feeder. OMNI recycling lines offer Several Letters of Non-Objection (LNOs) from a North American food safety author- ity, EFSA conformity and local ap- provals in Latin America con rm the decontamination ef ciency of the technology. As volatile contamination is re- moved very ef ciently in the MRS extruder under vacuum and solid contamination is removed by ne l - tration in the rotary ltration system, OMNI recycling lines offer high qual - ity and food compliant recycling in one simple, compact and sustainable extrusion step. Typical applications for OMNI Recy- cling machines include the processing of PET reclaim, such as bottle, sheet regrind or ber waste, into high quality end products, such as thermo - formed sheet (suitable for food con- tact), staple ber, POY, FDY, BCF or strapping tapes. In addition, a wide range of input materials such as PS, PP, PE, or PLA can be recycled. The OMNI series can also be used in the decontamination of post-consumer waste to produce direct food contact products such as HDPE bottle caps or milk bottles, coffee caps and for odor reduction and degassing of PA, SAN or other polymers. OMNI 110 Recycling Machine for post-consumer PET reclaim At the K show, Gneuss will present the core of an OMNI Recycling Ma- chine – a Multi Rotation System MRS 110 extruder. After the show, the com- plete line – including, among other components, a water ring vacuum sys- tem and the fully automatic RSF genius 90melt ltration system– will be deliv - ered to Cotnyl, a leading Argentinian manufacturer specializing in thermo- formed plastic packaging. Designed to process 600 kg/h of undried and uncrystallized PET or 400 kg/h of PP, the system will produce high-quality thermoforming sheet for food pack- aging applications. The technology has already been approved for food contact by Argentina’s food safety au- thority Senasa. In addition to its compact design, which requires very little space and K2025 Duesseldorf/Germany Oct. 8-15, 2025 Hall 9 . Booth B34 Hall 14 . Booth B19 Open Area .
