Filtration System Enhances PET Recycling
BKG FlexDisc has been shown to enhance the productivity of PET recycling while saving costs and improving the quality of the finished product.
The BKG FlexDisc from Nordson Corporation is said to significantly enhance melt filtration in the recycling of post-consumer PET.
Two to four FlexDiscs can be combined in a filter stack, providing a filtration area far greater than is available with standard flat screens without increasing machine size or weight. It yields finer filtration, prolongs filter life, and reduces backflush volume.
Recommended for Bottle-2-Bottle recycling and rPET fiber production, the FlexDisc is designed for use with piston-driven backflush screen changers, such as Nordson’s HiCon V-Type 3G system.
The BKG FlexDisc has been shown to enhance the productivity of PET recycling while saving costs and improving the quality of the finished product.
Nordson will be participating at the Extrusion 2021 Conference, Sept. 21-23 in Rosemont, Ill.

Recycling Terminology Can Be a Minefield, So We Should Tread Lightly
Loose propagation of terms like “recyclable” and “compostable” has already brought down government regulations on labeling. The plastics and packaging industries should take that to heart with other recycle-related language. Like “monomaterial” for example.
