BKG® CrystallCut®
Produce high-quality virgin and recycled PET and save operating costs. The BKG® CrystallCut® technology is a highly efficient system that performs the pelletizing and crystallization of PET in ONE single process step without needing additional energy.
Overview
Resource efficiency and sustainability are critical issues for the plastics industry. Plastic material conserves valuable resources, saves energy, and lowers the emission of greenhouse gases, e.g., as material for the usage of renewable energies.
The BKG® CrystallCut® technology is one of the most energy-efficient polyester production processes. By preserving the heat from the melt processing for the crystallization step, there is no need for additional energy.
Our extensive knowledge of different polyester types and their characteristics allows us to process a broad range of viscosities with easily reproducible results.
One Concept - Different Options
You can combine several pelletizers, die plates, and tempered water systems in our portfolio and add the benefits of the CrystallCut technology to the mix. We offer several designs for different throughputs and water filtration requirements to fit your needs.
