PTI Recycling Systems, LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of
Plastic Technologies, Inc., has been formed to
bring the proven "Plastic Technologies has a strong reputation as a global engineering firm that executes confidential, technical packaging projects for major brand owners around the world. Because we have had the opportunity to validate the LNO™c process for several applications, we believe that this technology has the potential to become the new global standard for rPET production," said Craig Barrow, president, Plastic Technologies. The new company will be headed by Steve Hawksworth, director, who will be responsible selling and servicing the "small footprint, low energy" system internationally. The equipment requires less than 2,500 sq. ft. and can easily be taken apart and transported to a new location, if desired.
The LNO™c process relies on Phoenix patented "extremely small particle size" technology. The tiny particle size enables much more efficient decontamination compared to other processes, resulting in faster output and significant energy savings. (The "c" in the brand name refers to the "compacted" resin that is the end result.) LNO™c technology produces rPET with superior color and yield as compared to other methods. Further, it has lower acetaldehyde levels which positively impact taste properties. Another benefit is its higher intrinsic viscosity (IV) or molecular weight which more closely matches the IV found in virgin resins. This enables higher package performance. The resulting rPET is ideally suited for a variety of food and beverage applications including water, carbonated soft drinks, juices, fruit, baked goods, meats and cheeses. Package types include bottles, thermoformed containers and films, as well as drinking cups, vegetable oil and deli containers. "Color, yield and taste attributes have traditionally been stumbling blocks in producing viable rPET particularly with very sensitive liquids, such as water. Our LNO™c process overcomes those obstacles," Hawksworth said. PTI Recycling Systems has teamed with Conair, Cranberry Township, PA, to build the modular LNO™c processing equipment. This includes a grinder that converts rPET flake into extra small particle-size powder, a compactor to compress the powder in pellets and a standard resin dryer.
